As of August 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included $13.4 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of capitalized cloud-based implementation costs recorded as other assets within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These balances primarily consist of capitalized implementation costs related to a new cloud-based ERP system which the Company placed into service in the U.S. during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. The useful lives of the Company’s internal-use software and capitalized cloud computing implementation costs are generally three to five years. However, the useful lives of major information system installations such as implementations of ERP systems and certain related software are determined on an individual basis and may exceed five years depending on the estimated period of use. The Company has determined the useful life of the new ERP system to be ten years and is amortizing over such period. Accumulated amortization associated with these assets was $2.1 million and $0.7 million as of August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amortization expense associated with these assets was $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024 and not significant for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023.
