In fiscal years 2025 and 2024, as a result of our decision to discontinue the use of certain capitalized software, we determined that a revision of the useful lives was warranted, and certain capitalized software was fully amortized over its revised remaining useful life. In addition, certain work-in-process capitalized software was impaired since it is no longer probable that the software being developed will be completed, and was reported at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value which was zero. The charges resulting from these actions are summarized below. For the year ended April 30, 2025, the total amount was $1.5 million, which included $0.8 million of accelerated amortization expense and $0.7 million of impairment charges reflected in Restructuring and related charges on our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). These charges were recorded in the Research segment. For the year ended April 2024, the total amount was $20.3 million, which included $15.9 million of accelerated amortization expense reflected in depreciation and amortization in Operating and administrative expenses and $4.4 million of impairment charges reflected in Restructuring and related charges on our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). These charges were recorded in the Research and Learning segments as well as Corporate Expenses.
