During the second quarter of 2025, the Company decided to reorganize and integrate certain businesses within its Life Sciences segment to better serve the Company’s customers in new market segments and to respond to current market conditions. The reorganization of the Life Sciences segment resulted in a change to the businesses included in two of the Company’s five reporting units for goodwill beginning at the start of the third quarter of 2025. The Company used the relative fair value method to reallocate goodwill between the impacted reporting units within the Life Sciences segment. The Company performed the quantitative goodwill impairment analysis immediately prior to and following the change in the reporting units. As of the date of the impairment tests, the carrying value of the goodwill included in each individual reporting unit ranged from approximately $1.2 billion to $23.1 billion for both the previous reporting units and for the current reporting units (after the changes within Life Sciences). No impairments of goodwill were identified in either of the impairment evaluations before or immediately after the change in reporting units.
