Icahn Enterprises IEP Impairment Charges

In conjunction with our goodwill impairment tests, we also performed a trademarks and brand names impairment analysis in accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and other. Our impairment analyses compared the fair values of these assets to the related carrying values, and impairment charges should be recorded for any excess of carrying values over fair values. The fair values of these assets were based upon the prospective stream of hypothetical after-tax royalty cost savings discounted at rates that reflect the rates of return appropriate for these intangible assets. The inputs used to determine the fair values of tradenames and trademarks are (i) the projected revenue growth, (ii) the royalty rate, (iii) the discount rate, and (iv) the tax rate. Following this analysis, our Automotive segment recognized no impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a $2 million impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2025.
