The Company considered the impact on its near and long-term forecasts from the general deterioration of economic and market conditions as a result of higher inflation, regional and global conflict, supply chain disruption, and the ongoing disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic and determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of reporting units or relevant asset groups was below carrying amounts. Therefore, the Company determined that there was no impairment to either its definite-lived or indefinite-lived intangible assets during fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020. There was an immaterial impairment charge related to our exit from the contact lens care business.
