The Company performed valuations of the Pacific and Eagle reporting units using market value and discounted cash flow methodologies. Pacific’s forecast was impacted by planned investments to improve future profitability, but the profitability has not improved as much as expected. Eagle has variability in their revenue as they primarily sell through tenders which impacted their financial outlook. Given the results of the quantitative assessment, the Company determined that the goodwill of the Pacific reporting unit was impaired and the goodwill of the Eagle reporting unit was partially impaired. As a result, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $3.0 million representing the entire amount of goodwill related to the Pacific reporting unit in the Other Foreign geographic segment and recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $7.5 million representing 83% of goodwill related to the Eagle reporting unit in the Europe geographic segment for the year ended January 31, 2025.

During FY24, a measurement period adjustment was recorded to recognize deferred tax liabilities of $1.4 million associated with the finite-lived intangibles acquired in the FY23 Eagle acquisition, with a corresponding increase to goodwill.

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.
