(1)In alignment with the Company’s strategy, the Company determined that certain tradenames with aggregate carrying values of $322 million no longer met the criteria to be classified as indefinite-lived tradenames effective January 1, 2024. The estimated useful lives range from 10 to 15 years, which will increase the Company’s annual amortization expense by $25 million, approximately $6 million quarterly (approximately $0.01 net loss per share per quarter).
