In connection with our annual trade name impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2025, we recognized a pre-tax impairment charge of $290 million to reduce the carrying amount of the Welch Allyn trade name within our Healthcare Systems & Technologies segment, an indefinite-lived intangible asset, to its estimated fair value. The reduction in value was primarily due to lower forecasted revenues and margins which contributed to a lower royalty rate and reduced expected future cash flows. The intangible asset impairment charge is classified within cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025.
