The Company performed its annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 (January 1, 2026) and determined that the estimated fair values for all goodwill reporting units exceeded their carrying values, and, therefore, no impairment charges were necessary at such time.

The net change in intangible assets during the nine months ended June 30, 2026 primarily reflected the divestitures of the warehouse automation and European roto-gravure packaging and tooling and flexographic print businesses, the impact of foreign currency fluctuations during the period and additional amortization.

Amortization expense on intangible assets was $2,503 and $3,474 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Amortization expense on intangible assets was $8,143 and $16,362 for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The fiscal 2026 decrease in intangible amortization reflected lower amortization following the Company's fiscal 2026 and 2025 divestitures. Amortization expense is estimated to be $1,109 for the remainder of fiscal 2026, $8,756 in 2027, $7,268 in 2028, $6,589 in 2029 and $6,179 in 2030.
