MANITOWOC CO INC Goodwill & Intangibles Disclosure

9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company will continue to monitor changes in circumstances and test more frequently if those changes indicate that assets might be impaired. As of October 31, 2025, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test. The fair values of the Americas - Distribution and MEAP reporting units were in excess of their carrying values by 28% and 109%, respectively, as of the date of the annual impairment test and, therefore, were not impaired as of December 31, 2025.

Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $3.1 million, $2.9 million, and $3.2 million, respectively.

Long-lived assets, which are primarily made up of property, plant, and equipment and definite lived intangible assets, are subject to impairment testing whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company determined there was not a triggering event during the year ended December 31, 2025, with the exception of one asset group located in Europe. Based on the results of the recoverability test, it was determined that the undiscounted cash flows were in excess of the carrying value of that asset group.

The Company performs its annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment testing during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company will continue to monitor changes in circumstances and test more frequently if those changes indicate that assets might be impaired. The Company has two indefinite-lived intangible assets subject to an annual impairment test: the Potain trademark, tradename, and distribution network assets (“Potain Tradename”) and the Grove trademark, tradename, and distribution network assets (“Grove Tradename”). As of October 31, 2025, the Company performed its annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test. The fair value of the Potain and Grove Tradenames were in excess of their carrying values by 83% and 69%, respectively, as of the date of the annual impairment test and, therefore, were not impaired as of December 31, 2025.

A considerable amount of management judgment and assumptions are required in performing the goodwill and indefinite-lived asset impairment tests as it relates to the forecast of future revenues and margins and the discount rate, as applicable. While the Company believes the judgments and assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions could change the estimated fair value and, therefore, additional impairments could be required. Weakening industry or economic trends, disruptions to the Company's business, unexpected significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets or in entity structure are all factors which may adversely impact the assumptions used in the valuations.

The Company continually monitors market conditions and determines if any additional interim reviews of other intangibles or long-lived assets are warranted. In the event the Company determines that assets are impaired in the future, the Company would recognize a non-cash impairment charge, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Results of Operations.
