There were $482.5 million and $127.1 million of indefinite-lived intangible trademark assets separately identified from goodwill at October 4, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. The increase was due to the trademark acquired in the Simple Mills acquisition. These trademarks are classified as indefinite-lived because we believe they are well-established brands with a long history and well-defined markets. We believe these factors support an indefinite life. We perform an annual impairment analysis, or on an interim basis if the facts and circumstances change, to determine if the trademarks are realizing their expected economic benefits.
