(A) In the third quarter of 2025 a $25.9 impairment was recorded in Electronics. There were no impairments recorded in 2024 or 2023.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, (i) as of the third quarter period end date, and (ii) between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value.

In the second quarter of 2025, the Company announced a leadership change in the Electronics segment from Lee Wichlacz to Billy Aldridge. Under the new leadership in the third of 2025, the Company evaluated the strategy and financial projections related to i3 Product Development ("i3PD"), a custom engineering services firm we acquired in May of 2023 that is part of our Electronics segment. That evaluation led to a reduction in the i3PD projected profit contributions to the Company over the short and mid-term due to de-emphasizing i3PD sales that do not align with the Company's core business. We performed a test for goodwill impairment as of the third quarter period end date and concluded goodwill was impaired.

The fair value of the i3PD reporting unit was determined based on an income approach methodology. A market approach methodology was evaluated but not used as the Company determined information for companies comparable to i3PD was not readily available. The income approach utilized a discounted cash flow analysis, which estimates the present value of the projected free cash flows to be generated by the reporting unit. Principal assumptions used in the analysis included the Company's estimates of future revenue and terminal growth rates, margin assumptions and discount rates. While assumptions utilized are subject to a high degree of judgment and complexity, the Company made every effort to estimate future cash flows as accurately as possible, given the high degree of economic uncertainty that existed. The Company concluded that the estimated fair value of the i3PD reporting unit was less than its carrying value, and as a result, recorded a non-cash, non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge of $25.9. This represents the full amount of goodwill for the i3PD reporting unit.
 

The Company performed the annual test of goodwill impairment on its other reporting units and concluded that it was more likely than not that their fair value exceeded their carrying value.
