(1)In the Appliances and Cookware segment, the impairment charge was recorded within the Appliances and Cookware reporting unit. In the Commercial Solutions segment, impairment charges of $130 million and $22 million were recorded in the Quickie and Mapa/Spontex businesses, respectively. In the Home Solutions segment, impairment charge of $152 million was recorded within the Home Fragrance reporting unit. In the Outdoor and Recreation segment, the impairment charge was recorded within Outdoor and Recreation reporting unit. The carrying value of certain Appliances and Cookware trade names exceeded their fair value primarily due to the announced tariffs on Chinese imports as well as a decline in sales volume due to a loss in market share for certain appliance categories driven by the success of newly launched competitive products. Both of these factors resulted in downward revisions to forecasted results. The carrying value of certain Home Solutions trade names exceeded their fair value primarily within the Home Fragrance reporting unit.
