Conagra Brands CAG Goodwill impairment

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we identified triggering events to test goodwill for impairment due to continued decline in market capitalization and stock price. As a result of our assessment of the triggering events, we completed a quantitative impairment test for the Refrigerated & Frozen reporting unit using both a discounted cash flow method and a guideline public company method. As a result of our impairment tests, we recognized goodwill impairment charges of $1.61 billion within goodwill impairment charges. The impairment was primarily driven by a 200-basis point increase in the discount rate from our last quantitative assessment completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 reflecting lower market multiples in our industry, uncertainty in the market and global economy due to potential implications from geopolitical conflicts, inflationary pressures, and other macroeconomic factors, and a downward revision to our projected sales and profit margins for this specific reporting unit. After this impairment the goodwill carrying amount of our Refrigerated & Frozen reporting unit is approximately $2.53 billion.
