For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company elected to bypass the optional qualitative goodwill
impairment assessment allowed by ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, and performed a
quantitative goodwill impairment assessment for each reporting unit. For the years ended December 31, 2024
and 2023, the Company performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment for the Building Materials
reporting unit. Due to the recency of acquisitions within the Building Envelope segment, the Company
performed a quantitative impairment test for the reporting units for each year ended December 31, 2024 and
2023. Based upon the results of the qualitative and quantitative assessments, the Company concluded that
the fair values of each of its reporting units were greater than their carrying values for all years presented.
There have been no historical goodwill impairment losses recognized by the Company.

About Goodwill & Intangibles Disclosures

Goodwill and intangible asset disclosures reveal the premium paid in acquisitions and how management assesses whether that premium retains its value. Since goodwill is no longer amortized under US GAAP, the annual impairment test is the only mechanism that adjusts carrying values downward — making the assumptions behind that test critically important for investors.

Key signals: a history of goodwill impairments suggests management consistently overpays for acquisitions. Watch the gap between reporting unit fair value and carrying amount — when fair value exceeds carrying amount by less than 10-20%, a small decline in business performance could trigger a write-down. For finite-lived intangibles, examine useful life assumptions across customer relationships, technology, and trade names; aggressive estimates inflate near-term earnings. Compare total intangibles-to-total-assets ratios against peers to assess acquisition dependency. Rising goodwill as a percentage of equity can signal balance sheet fragility.
