(1)The translation adjustments relate to the periodic translation of Canadian Dollar and South Korean Won denominated goodwill recorded as a part of prior acquisitions in Canada and South Korea, in which the local currency was determined to be the functional currency.
(2)We sold our industrial cleaning business during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, which resulted in the allocation $0.6 million of goodwill to net assets sold in the transaction. See Note 3 - Property, Plant and Equipment, Industrial Cleaning Disposal, for more information.


We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of May 31, 2025, which resulted in no impairment. The fiscal 2025 test indicated that two reporting units with a combined total of $16.6 million of goodwill as of June 30, 2025 were at higher risk of future impairment. If our view of project opportunities or gross margins deteriorates, particularly for the higher risk reporting units, then we may be required to record an impairment of goodwill. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit was derived by utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples of projected EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, interest income, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The key assumptions used are described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we concluded that a goodwill impairment indicator existed for a reporting unit in the Process and Industrial Facilities segment based on a material adverse change in gross profit on a project. Based on the indicated outcome of this project and our near-term outlook for the reporting unit, we performed an interim impairment test for the unit and concluded that its $12.3 million of goodwill was fully impaired.

(1)Intangible assets have been adjusted in fiscal 2024 to remove $4.4 million of intangible assets that have been fully amortized.

Amortization expense totaled $1.1 million, $1.4 million, and $1.7 million in fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
The remaining net book value of intangible assets of $0.6 million will be amortized in fiscal 2026.

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.
