(1) Activity in fiscal 2024 includes the preliminary determination of goodwill related to the SRS acquisition and other immaterial acquisitions completed during that fiscal year. Activity in fiscal 2025 includes the preliminary determination of goodwill related to the GMS acquisition and other immaterial acquisitions completed during that fiscal year. See Note 13 for details regarding the SRS and GMS acquisitions.
(2) Primarily reflects the net impact of foreign currency translation as well as immaterial measurement period adjustments related to acquisitions completed in the prior fiscal year.
(3) Amounts presented in the Other column represent goodwill activity within our SRS non-reportable operating segments.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we completed our annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill for our U.S., Canada, and Mexico reporting units that reside within our Primary segment. As the results of our most recent quantitative analysis in fiscal 2023 indicated that the fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its respective carrying amount, we performed a qualitative assessment to determine if there were any indicators of impairment. Based on this assessment, we concluded that while there have been events and circumstances that have both positively and negatively impacted the fair values of our reporting units, no single factor or combination of factors is an indicator that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of these reporting units was less than its carrying amount.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we also completed our annual assessment of our SRS roofing and building products, landscape, and pool reporting units using a quantitative approach. The quantitative test for goodwill impairment was performed by determining the fair value of each reporting unit using a combination of discounted cash flow and market-based approaches. The results of our quantitative analysis indicated that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying amount, including goodwill. Additionally, due to the proximity of the GMS acquisition date to our annual impairment assessment date, we concluded that there were no events or circumstances that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill recognized in the acquisition was less than its carrying amount.
There were also no impairment charges related to goodwill in fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023.

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.
