Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets [Abstract] |
Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets | Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ﻿ Acquisitions ﻿ During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement with FirstPower Group, LLC (“FirstPower”) for dismissal of FirstPower’s trademark infringement complaint against the Company relating to use of the words, “EZ-REACH” for the Company’s WD-40 EZ-REACH Flexible Straw product. The settlement agreement provided for the Company’s acquisition of FirstPower’s trademark rights associated with the words “EZ REACH” for lubricating oil products for a purchase consideration of $0.2 million. The Company has used the words “EZ-REACH” since the introduction of the WD-40 EZ-REACH Flexible Straw product in fiscal year 2015. ﻿ The entire purchase consideration of $0.2 million was paid in cash upon execution of the settlement agreement and was allocated to the trade name-related intangible assets category. The Company began to amortize this definite-lived intangible asset on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of five years in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. This acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. ﻿ Goodwill ﻿ The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill by segment (in thousands): ﻿
