As discussed further in Note 15, the composition of our operating segments and reportable segments have changed. Goodwill has been reallocated from our previous reportable segments to reflect the new structure. We now have five reporting units with goodwill assigned to them as follows: 1) Americas excluding CMFT and Foot and Ankle, 2) Americas CMFT, 3) Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") excluding Foot and Ankle, 4) Asia Pacific excluding Foot and Ankle, and 5) Global Foot and Ankle.

As of January 31, 2026, we estimated the fair value of all of our reporting units, except for Americas CMFT, in order to reallocate goodwill amongst our reportable segments and to test for impairment due to the change. The Americas CMFT reporting unit was not tested for impairment as it was not impacted by the reportable segment change and therefore will be tested as part of our annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2026. Goodwill was reallocated amongst the new reporting units using the relative fair method. The relative fair method reallocates the goodwill that existed prior to the change by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit prior to the change versus the fair value of the components that have changed.

 

We estimated the fair value of these reporting units based on income and market approaches. Fair value under the income approach was determined by discounting to present value the estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit. Fair value under the market approach utilized the guideline public company methodology, which uses valuation indicators from publicly-traded companies that are similar to our reporting units and considers differences between our reporting unit and the comparable companies. We also estimated the future cash flows of the reporting units utilizing risk-adjusted discount rates, which we also consider a significant assumption.

In estimating the future cash flows of the reporting units, we utilized a combination of market and company-specific inputs that a market participant would use in assessing the fair value of the reporting units. The primary market input was revenue growth rates. These rates were based upon historical trends and estimated future growth drivers such as an aging global population, obesity and more active lifestyles. Significant company specific inputs included assumptions regarding how the reporting units could leverage operating expenses as revenue grows and the impact any of our differentiated products or new products will have on revenues.

Under the guideline public company methodology, we took into consideration specific risk differences between our reporting unit and the comparable companies, such as recent financial performance, size risks and product portfolios, among other considerations.

 

No impairment charges were required as a result of this testing. However, our Global Foot and Ankle reporting unit's estimated fair value only exceeded its carrying value by approximately 5 percent. The cash flows and assets for our Global Foot and Ankle reporting unit are practically all from our acquisition of Paragon 28 in April 2025. Since the assets of the Global Foot and Ankle reporting unit were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, this narrow margin is expected. The other three reporting units we

tested for impairment had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying value by more than 20 percent.

We will continue to monitor the fair value of all our reporting units in our interim and annual reporting periods. If our estimated cash flows for these reporting units decrease, we may have to record impairment charges in the future. Factors that could result in our cash flows being lower than our current estimates include: 1) decreased revenues caused by unforeseen changes in the healthcare market, or our inability to generate new product revenue from our research and development activities, and 2) our inability to achieve the estimated operating margins in our forecasts due to unforeseen factors. Additionally, changes in the broader economic environment could cause changes to our estimated discount rates and comparable company valuation indicators, which may impact our estimated fair values.
