Annually, the Company performs its goodwill impairment assessment on its three reporting units. In the third quarter of 2024 2025, as part of its annual evaluations, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment for each reporting unit. As part of the quantitative assessment, the Company estimated the fair value of each of its reporting units using an equal weighting of the market and 2023, income approaches, which the Company believes provide the best indicators of their fair value. The market approach utilizes market prices and other relevant metrics for comparable publicly-traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics, as well as recent transactions of similar businesses within the industry, while the income approach is based on estimate discounted future cash flows. Significant estimates and assumptions were used in the Company’s goodwill impairment assessment, including both historical and projected revenue and profitability data, the determination and selection of appropriate publicly-traded market comparison companies, and the calculation of comparable earnings-based and other multiples derived from comparable publicly-traded companies and from recent transactions within the industry. As part of its quantitative approach, the Company evaluated whether there were reasonably likely changes to management’s estimates and assumptions that would have a material impact on the results of the goodwill impairment assessment. In the third quarter of 2024, as part of our annual evaluations, the Company utilized the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment. As part of these assessments, the Company reviews qualitative factors, which include, but are not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions, as well as the financial performance of each reporting unit. In accordance with applicable guidance, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit if, after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each of its reporting units is greater than its respective carrying amount. As of July 1, 2024 2025 and 2023, 2024, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of its reporting units exceeded its was substantially in excess of their respective carrying amount amounts and, therefore, a quantitative assessment was not required. As a result, no goodwill impairment resulted from the assessments as of July 1, 2024 2025 and 2023. 2024.

In the course of operating our business, we and certain of our third-party providers collect, maintain and process data about customers, employees, suppliers and others, including personally identifiable information. We are therefore subject to a variety of laws, regulations and other requirements relating to information security and privacy, including those related to handling of personally identifiable information. The regulatory environment surrounding information security and privacy is increasingly demanding, with frequent imposition of new and changing requirements. The application and interpretation of such requirements are constantly evolving and are subject to change, creating a complex compliance environment. In some cases, these requirements may either be unclear in their interpretation and application, or they may have inconsistent or conflicting requirements. Further, there has been a substantial increase in legislative activity and regulatory focus on data privacy and security in the U.S. and elsewhere, including in relation to cybersecurity incidents. These laws and regulations impose significant obligations on companies regarding how they collect, store, protect, process and transfer personal information and can impose significant fines for non-compliance. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with laws, regulations and other requirements relating to information security and privacy could result in legal claims or proceedings (including class actions), regulatory investigations or enforcement actions. We could incur significant costs investigating and defending such claims and, if found liable, pay significant fines, penalties and other related costs or be required to make changes to our business. If any of these events were to occur, our reputation may be damaged, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

AddedRisk Factors
Financing a portion of the consideration of the CommScope acquisition resulted in a significant increase in the Company’s debt. This increase in debt requires a larger portion of the Company’s cash flow to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on its debt, which could, among other things, prevent the Company from carrying out capital spending that is necessary or important to the Company’s growth strategy and reduce our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions. Further, the amount of cash required for the payment of principal and interest on the increased debt, and thus the demands on the Company’s capital resources, have increased. More specifically, the Company expects interest expense, net of interest income, to increase from $367.8 million in 2025 to approximately $800.0 million in 2026. In addition, the Company may incur additional debt in the future that could further exacerbate these risks, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
