Note 3—Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net Goodwill The following table details the changes in goodwill (in thousands):
Goodwill Impairment During our review of goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter, management identified certain continued indicators (i.e., decline in market capitalization and reduced operating performance), which required further goodwill impairment evaluation. As a result, we a performed a quantitative impairment test for our only reporting unit under ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using a combined discounted cash flow model and market approach, consistent with valuation methodologies used historically. Key assumptions of the analysis included:
•
Discount rate: 13%
•
Long-term growth rate: 2%
During the fourth quarter of 2025, we identified a decline in market capitalization and reduced operating performance as compared to the prior year and determined that indicators of impairment existed and that a quantitative test should be performed for the one reporting unit. In determining fair value, management utilized valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The fair value technique used in this instance was classified as Level 3, where unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data was available. In performing the quantitative test of goodwill, management primarily used the income approach method of valuation. Under the income approach, our future cash flows were estimated and present valued based on a discount rate reflecting a market participant risk-adjusted rate of return. Significant assumptions used to determine fair value included expected sales trends, cost of sales, operating expenses, and an appropriate discount rate based on the Company's estimated cost of equity capital and after-tax cost of debt. We selected estimates used in the discounted cash flow projections using historical data as well as current and anticipated market conditions, and estimated growth rates with consideration of published industry trends. We also compared the total invested capital (including market capitalization) to the fair value of its reporting unit to assess the reasonableness of fair value after consideration of a control premium based on observable comparable company transactions. Based on the results of this analysis we determined that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded the fair value, and therefore we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $180.7 million during fiscal 2025. Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets consisted of the following as of October 4, 2025 (in thousands, except weighted average remaining useful life):
Other intangible assets consisted of the following as of September 28, 2024 (in thousands, except weighted average remaining useful life):
Amortization expense was $3.7 million, $3.7 million, and $4.3 million in fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023. No impairment of other intangible assets was recorded during fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023. No impairment of goodwill was recorded in fiscal 2024 and 2023. See above for discussion of fiscal 2025 goodwill impairment. The following table summarizes the estimated future amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of October 4, 2025 (in thousands):
