The Company's trademarks, other than those acquired in the Hero Acquisition, have an indefinite life and are assessed annually for impairment. The trademarks acquired in the Hero Acquisition (see Note 6, Goodwill) are finite-lived and will be amortized over a one-year useful life beginning in September 2026, reflecting the Company's plan to phase out the acquired trade names in connection with a planned product relaunch in fiscal 2027.  All other intangible assets are finite-lived.

 

Intangible assets amortization expenses are recorded within operating expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Total intangible assets amortization expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025 was $0.2 million in each period. Total intangible assets amortization expense for the three months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025 was less than $0.1 million in each period.
