(1)Balances reflect impact of segment reorganization, as discussed in Note A: Basis of Presentation in these Notes.

As of both April 3, 2026 and January 2, 2026, accumulated goodwill impairment losses were $120 million, $431 million, and $337 million in our SMS, CSD, and MSL segments, respectively.

Reallocation of Goodwill in Segment Reorganization. As discussed in Note A: Basis of Presentation in these Notes, effective in fiscal 2026, we streamlined our business segments from four segments to three segments, more closely aligning common capabilities and business models. As a result of the segment reorganization, we realigned our goodwill reporting units from seven to five reporting units, which are our operating segments or one level below the operating segment. Following the realignment, our reporting units are organized as follows: SMS in our SMS segment, Non-Spectrum and Spectrum in our CSD segment, Advanced Effects (“AE”) and Propulsion Systems (“PS”) in our MSL segment.

The revised reporting unit structure was established through the creation of the new AE reporting unit and reassignment of the three former Integrated Mission Systems (“IMS”) segment reporting units, Targeting & Sensor Systems and Defense Electronics (“TSS+DE”), Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (“ISR”) and Maritime. The AE reporting unit was formed by combining two businesses from the former Space & Airborne Systems (“SAS”) reporting unit and two businesses from the former TSS+DE reporting unit. The remaining businesses from the former TSS+DE reporting unit were aggregated into the former Non-Broadband reporting unit, which was renamed the Non-Spectrum reporting unit; and two businesses from the former SAS reporting unit were aggregated with the former Broadband reporting unit, which was renamed the Spectrum reporting unit. The businesses from the ISR and Maritime reporting units were aggregated with the other businesses in the SMS reporting unit, formerly the SAS reporting unit.

In connection with the realignments, goodwill was allocated to the businesses that moved between reporting units on a relative fair value basis utilizing a combination of income and market approaches. We performed quantitative impairment assessments under our former and new reporting unit structure to assess the impact before and after realignments. These assessments indicated no impairments existed either before or after the realignments.
