Industrial & Other Manufacturing: Goodwill impairment testing
Verbatim excerpt (342 words), formatting simplified. View full filing on EDGAR →Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets Impairment. We assess goodwill for impairment annually as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances that could affect the likelihood that we will be required to recognize an impairment charge for goodwill include, but are not limited to, declines in our stock price or market capitalization, declines in our market share and declines in revenues or profits at our reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a goodwill impairment charge is recorded for the difference.
We determine the fair value of a reporting unit using the income approach or market approach, or a combination of both. If multiple valuation methodologies are used, the results are judgmentally weighted. The income approach is estimated through discounted cash flow analysis. The estimated fair value of a reporting unit is computed by adding the present value of the estimated annual discounted cash flows over a discrete projection period to the residual value of the business at the end of the projection period. This valuation technique requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions, including long-term growth rates, discount rates and other inputs. The estimated growth rates for the projection period are based on our internal forecasts of anticipated future performance of the business. The residual value is estimated using a perpetual nominal growth rate, which is based on projected long-range inflation and long-term industry projections. The discount rates are calculated as the weighted average cost of capital of comparable peer companies, adjusted for company-specific risk. The market approach estimates the fair value of a reporting unit by utilizing the market comparable method, which uses revenue and earnings multiples from comparable companies.
We performed the required annual goodwill impairment testing for all reportable segments as of December 31, 2025, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. As a result of our qualitative assessment, we determined that it was not necessary to perform the quantitative assessment.

In the third quarter, we recorded non-cash charges for goodwill impairment and inventory write-downs related to the electrolyzer business, and in the fourth quarter of 2025 we recorded an additional $218 million of charges for Accelera actions. See NOTE 22, “ACCELERA ACTIONS,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
◦ The Board for our Amplify Cell Technologies LLC joint venture is reviewing the timing of investments as the result of changing market adoption projections.
• Our engines are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements governing emissions, including greenhouse gas (GHG) standards set by the EPA and fuel consumption standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). To comply with these regulations, we utilize banking and trading of regulatory compliance credits. In June 2025, NHTSA published an interpretive rule questioning the current regulatory framework of allowing credits as a compliance vehicle. In July 2025, the EPA published a proposed rule that would repeal GHG emissions standards and thus remove the requirement for vehicle and engine manufacturers to measure, control and report these emissions from vehicles. If both regulatory agencies finalize their indicated proposals, we will no longer utilize emission compliance credits on future engines sales and the credits would have minimal, if any, value to us. While the rules will likely be subject to legal challenges, in the period the rule is finalized, we could be required to incur a non-cash expense up to the value of our existing credits, which was $127 million at December 31, 2025.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Key Working Capital and Balance Sheet Data
We fund our working capital with cash from operations and short-term borrowings, including commercial paper, when necessary. Various assets and liabilities, including short-term debt, can fluctuate significantly from month-to-month depending on short-term liquidity needs. As a result, working capital is a prime focus of management's attention. Working capital and balance sheet measures are provided in the following table:
