 an impairment of those assets. In the event such a result occurred, we would be required to record a corresponding charge, which would impact earnings. We would also be required to reduce the carrying values of the related assets on our balance sheet. We continue to evaluate these assumptions and believe that these assumptions are appropriate.

In performing our impairment analyses, we also considered the trading value of both our equity and debt. If the trading values of both our equity and debt were to significantly decline from their levels at the time of testing, we may have to take an impairment charge at the appropriate time, which could be material. For additional information on risks associated with our recognizing asset impairment charges, see the risk factor titled “We have in the past and may in the future be required to recognize asset impairment charges for indefinite- and definite-lived assets” found in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As a result of the inherent uncertainty associated with forming the estimates within our goodwill and franchise rights acquired impairment tests, actual results could differ from those estimates. Future events and changing market conditions may impact our assumptions as to future revenue and operating margin growth, weighted average cost of capital, and other factors that may result in changes in our estimates of fair value. Although we believe the assumptions used in testing for impairment are reasonable, a lack of recovery or further deterioration in market conditions or financial performance, a lack of recovery or further decline in our share price from current levels for a sustained period, or an increase in the market-based weighted average cost of capital, among other factors, could significantly impact our impairment analysis and may result in future franchise rights acquired or goodwill impairment charges that, if incurred, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Further information regarding the results of our franchise rights acquired and goodwill annual impairment tests and our franchise rights acquired and goodwill interim impairment tests for the first and third quarters of fiscal 2024 can be found in Note 7 “Franchise Rights Acquired, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” of the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements, contained in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
