Changes in foreign trade policies and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business and financial performance. The U.S. government recently implemented significant trade policy and tariff actions, including but not limited to tariffs on imported steel and aluminum products, multiple tariffs on certain imports from China, tariffs on certain imports from Canada and Mexico, and baseline tariffs on most imports from most other countries. These actions have increased the cost of certain raw materials and components and created significant uncertainty and potential risks for our business. Certain countries have announced retaliatory tariffs in response to such actions. The U.S. government or other foreign governments may in the future propose and implement additional changes to international trade agreements, tariffs, taxes, and other government rules and regulations and, if initiated, retaliatory tariffs or other actions may be taken by certain governments. While the future financial impact of these actions and potential additional tariff actions and retaliatory actions by the U.S. or other countries remain unknown, the impacts could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements in any particular reporting period.

Reworded topics: impairment, goodwill

Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

During the fourth quarter of 2024,2025, the Company completed its annual impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names. The Company determined it was not more likely than not that the fair values of its reporting units were lower than their carrying values. The Company also determined the fair value of goodwill and all other indefinite-lived intangible assetsintangibles were substantially in excess of theirthe respective carrying values. Significant judgment is required to determine if an indication of impairment has taken place. Factors to be considered include the following: adverse changes in operating results, decline in strategic business plans, significantly lower future cash flows, and sustainable declines in market data such as market capitalization. A 10 percent decrease in the estimated fair value of goodwill or any of the indefinite-lived trade names would not have changed this determination. The sensitivity analysis required the use of numerous subjective assumptions, which, if actual experience varies, could result in material differences in the requirements for impairment charges. Further, an extended downturn in the economy may impact certain components of the operating segments more significantly and could result in an impairment determination.

The market value approach compares the reporting units’ current and projected financial results to entities of similar size and industry to determine the market value of the reporting unit. The income approach utilizes assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. These cash flows consider factors regarding expected future operating income and historical trends, as well as the effects of demand and competition. The future cash flows are discounted using an applicable discount rate. The Company is required to record an impairment if these assumptions and estimates change whereby the fair value of the reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets are below their associated carrying values.
