Impairment testing For annual impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the following cash-generating units ("CGU"):
(in thousands) |  | April 30, 2026 $ |  |  | April 30, 2025 $ |
Oss |  |  | — |  |  |  | 3,272 |
Utrecht |  |  | — |  |  |  | 4,958 |
|  |  | — |  |  |  | 8,230 |
The recoverable amount of each CGU was based on value-in-use calculations and determined using a five-year forecast for Oss and Utrecht, followed by a terminal growth rate determined by management. The present value of the forecasted cash flows of each CGU is determined by applying a discount rate reflecting a current market assessment of the time value of money and risks specific to the CGU. The recoverable amount, growth rate assumptions and discount rates for each CGU as of April 30, 2025 are as follows:
|  | Recoverable amount |  | Terminal growth rates |  | Discount rates
(in thousands) |  | 2026 $ |  |  | 2025 $ |  |  |  | 2026 $ |  |  | 2025 $ |  |  |  | 2026 $ |  |  | 2025 $ |  |
Oss |  |  | — |  |  |  | 7,039 |  |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 2.0 | % |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 22.0 | % |
Utrecht |  |  | — |  |  |  | 11,422 |  |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 2.5 | % |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 19.0 | % |
BioStrand |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |
The terminal growth rates consider the average GDP growth rate of the Netherlands and Belgium. The discount rates reflect management’s assessment of market and specific risk of the CGU. Both the Oss and Utrecht CGUs operate in the same region and are included in the same operating segment of the Company. The cash flow forecasts include a key management assumption that future profit margins will remain stable and is based on previous performance of the CGU. The assumption for future profit margins is based on management’s review of the prior three years of performance of the CGU. During the year ended April 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $11.2 million on impairment of goodwill. The loss was recorded as a reduction in goodwill and the intangible assets. The primary factor for the impairment included a rise in the discount rate as compared to the prior year, along with a delay in expected cash flows in the forecast. The increased discount rate relates to increases in the forecast risk for the BioStrand CGU, increased economic risk, and increased global interest rates as compared to the prior year. In the current year the goodwill amounts were disposed of, as described in Note 2.
