A quantitative assessment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets was performed as of July 1, 2023. In conducting the quantitative impairment assessments, the Company concluded that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, certain circumstances occurred that indicated potential impairment and the Company performed a valuation of the GREATS® trademark. The estimated fair value of this trademark was determined using an excess earnings method, incorporating the use of projected financial information and a discount rate of 14.8% which was developed using market participant-based assumptions. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly

higher or lower fair value measurement. As a result of this assessment, the GREATS® trademark was written down from the carrying value of $12,670 to its fair value of $6,150, resulting in a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $6,520. This charge was recorded in impairment of intangibles in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and recognized in the Direct-to-Consumer segment.

In the first quarter of 2024, circumstances occurred that caused a change in the estimated useful life of the GREATS® trademark from an indefinite life to an estimated useful life of 10 years, and as a result, the Company performed an impairment test. The estimated fair value of this trademark was determined using an excess earnings method, incorporating the use of projected financial information and a discount rate of 14.0% which was developed using market participant-based assumptions. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. As a result of this assessment, the GREATS® trademark was written down from the carrying value of $6,150 to its fair value of $4,450, resulting in a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $1,700, which was recorded in impairment of intangibles in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and recognized in the Direct-to-Consumer segment.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company completed the sale of its GREATS business.
