Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended October 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026 ("fiscal 2026"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 ("fiscal 2025") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Merger: On August 5, 2025, American Woodmark Corporation (“American Woodmark,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MasterBrand, Inc. ("MasterBrand"), and Maple Merger Sub, Inc., a Virginia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MasterBrand (“Merger Sub”), providing for Merger Sub, at closing, to merge with and into the Company with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of MasterBrand (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Company common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be automatically converted into the right to receive 5.15 shares of MasterBrand common stock. Following completion of the Merger, it is estimated that former holders of the Company's common stock will own approximately 37% and holders of MasterBrand common stock will own approximately 63% of the common stock of the combined company, on a fully diluted basis, based on the number of shares of MasterBrand common stock and the Company’s common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement. The Merger is currently expected to close in early calendar year 2026, subject to the receipt of clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions. Both companies received the necessary shareholder approval at their respective special meetings of shareholders held on October 30, 2025. On November 7, 2025, MasterBrand and American Woodmark each received a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission in connection with the Merger. The Company has incurred expenses related to the Merger of approximately $6.5 million and $9.3 million for the three- and six-months ended October 31, 2025, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the net amount of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination measured at fair value. The Company does not amortize goodwill but evaluates for impairment annually, or whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company will perform the annual assessment on the first day of the fourth quarter unless an indicator of impairment exists prior to the annual assessment and the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill is below its carrying value. In accordance with accounting standards, when evaluating goodwill, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If, after such assessment, an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the asset is not impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value using a quantitative impairment test, and if impaired, goodwill must be written down by the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company included the implied consideration of the merger transaction discussed above in its evaluation of indicators of impairment as of October 31, 2025. There were no impairment charges related to goodwill for the three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company will continue to evaluate the implied consideration of the merger transaction against its carrying value, which could result in future impairment charges given, among other factors, the volatility in the Company’s stock price. Cloud Computing Software, Net: Cloud computing software is stated on the basis of cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 3 to 8 years. As of October 31, 2025, $43.9 million was recorded in other long-term assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cloud computing software. Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company uses derivatives as part of normal business operations to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates associated with variable interest rate debt and foreign exchange rates. The Company has established policies and procedures that govern the risk management of these exposures. The primary objective in managing these exposures is to add stability to interest expense, manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements, and manage the risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate exposures. The Company records outstanding swap contracts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and subsequently reclassified into net income in the period the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. If a derivative is deemed to be ineffective, the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in net income. The Company also manages risks through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company recognizes its outstanding forward contracts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company has both forwards that are designated as accounting hedges and that are not designated as accounting hedges. See Note K — Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information.
