Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Note 3–Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

During the quarter ended March 29, 2024, the Company completed a business realignment, which resulted in identification of new reportable segments. The Company commenced operating and reporting under the new organizational structure effective the first day of fiscal 2024 (see "Note 10–Business Segments).

Goodwill was allocated to the new reportable segments based on a relative fair value approach.

The following table presents changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment:


	National Security and Digital		Health & Civil		Commercial & International		Defense Systems		Total
	(in millions)
Goodwill at December 30, 2022	$	2,755	$	1,366	$	1,389	$	1,186	$	6,696

Goodwill at March 29, 2024(2)	$	2,758	$	1,366	$	787	$	1,188	$	6,099

(1) Adjustment to goodwill resulting from a measurement period purchase accounting adjustment.

(2) Carrying amount includes accumulated impairment loss of $596 million within the Commercial & International segment.

We evaluate qualitative factors that could cause us to believe the estimated fair value of each of our reporting units may be lower than the carrying value and trigger a quantitative assessment, including, but not limited to (i) macroeconomic conditions, (ii) industry and market considerations, (iii) our overall financial performance, including an analysis of our current and projected cash flows, revenues and earnings, (iv) a sustained decrease in share price and (v) other relevant entity-specific events including changes in management, strategy, partners or litigation.

Operations of the Security Enterprise Solutions (“SES”) reporting unit rely heavily on the sales and servicing of security and detection products, which prior to fiscal 2024, have been negatively impacted due to delays in airline travel infrastructure projects as customer budgets recover from the pandemic. During fiscal 2023, the SES reporting unit refined its portfolio and made strategic business decisions to exit certain product offerings, and cease operations in certain countries in order to align the operations of the reporting unit with its strategic business plan. These decisions, along with the delays in airline travel infrastructure projects and higher than anticipated servicing costs, contributed to a significant reduction in the reporting unit’s forecasted revenue and cash flows. Accordingly, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $596 million at the SES reporting unit during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023. The impairment was recorded within the Commercial & International reportable segment in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the event that there are significant unfavorable changes to the forecasted cash flows, forecasted revenue, terminal growth rates or the cost of capital used in the fair value estimates, we may be required to record an additional impairment of goodwill at a future date.

In conjunction with the change in reportable segments in fiscal 2024, the Company evaluated goodwill for impairment both before and after the segment change and determined that goodwill was not impaired.
