The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 and determined that there was no impairment to goodwill. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company determined that its decline in cash flows and a downward adjustment to the fiscal year 2024 annual guidance constituted triggering events for the impairment of goodwill, and it determined that there was no impairment to goodwill as of March 31, 2024. In the fourth quarter of fiscal

year 2024, the Company determined that the triggering events present at March 31, 2024, were still present at June 30, 2024. The Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test and it determined that there was no impairment to goodwill as of June 30, 2024. The Company will continue to monitor its recorded goodwill for indicators of impairment every fiscal quarter.

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.
