In Fiscal 2020, the company reclassified certain California distribution rights from held for sale to held and used. In conjunction with the agreement to settle the California distributor-related litigation, reached in Fiscal 2023, the company fully impaired these distribution rights and recorded a charge of $2.3 million in the selling, distribution, and administrative expenses line item of the Consolidated Statements of Income during Fiscal 2023. See Note 23, Commitments and Contingencies, for details of this settlement.

As of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $127.1 million of indefinite-lived intangible trademark assets separately identified from goodwill. These trademarks are classified as indefinite-lived because there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to our cash flows. They are well established brands with a long history and well-defined markets. In addition, we are continuing to use these brands both in their original markets and throughout our expansion territories. We believe these factors support an indefinite-life assignment with an annual impairment analysis to determine if the trademarks are realizing their expected economic benefits.
