During the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test. The annual goodwill impairment test was performed at the reporting unit level as of the Company’s most recent goodwill impairment testing date, December 1, 2023. The Company performed a quantitative assessment to determine whether the fair value of any of its reporting units was less than each reporting unit’s carrying amount. The Company determined the fair value of its reporting units by following the income approach, which uses a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow methodology bases the fair value of each reporting unit on the present value of its estimated future cash flows. The discounted cash flow methodology also requires that management make assumptions about certain key inputs in the estimated cash flows, including long-term sales forecasts or growth rates, terminal growth rates and discount rates, all of which are inherently uncertain. The forecast of future cash flows was primarily based on historical data and management’s best estimates of sales growth rates and operating margins for each reporting unit for the next five fiscal years. The discount rate used was based on management’s estimate of the current weighted-average cost of capital for each reporting unit. As these assumptions are largely unobservable, the estimated fair values fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Based on quantitative analysis, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of each of its reporting units significantly exceeded their respective carrying values. As a result, the Company concluded that no impairment of its goodwill existed as of December 1, 2023. In addition, the Company concluded that there were no indicators of impairment identified as a result of the Company’s review of events and circumstances related to its goodwill subsequent to December 1, 2023 through February 29, 2024. To date, there have been no impairment losses identified and recorded related to the Company’s goodwill.
