 risk management strategies including utilizing a range of commodity hedging techniques in an effort to limit the impact of price fluctuations on many of our principal raw materials. However, we do not fully hedge against changes in commodity prices, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. As a result of these risk management strategies, our commodity costs may not immediately correlate with market price trends.

See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024 for additional information on how we manage commodity costs.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024.

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions. Our critical accounting estimates and assumptions related to goodwill and intangible assets are described below. We have included an update to our critical accounting estimates as we performed an interim triggering event impairment test as a result of the Q1 Europe reorganization. The Q1 Europe reorganization did not impact our brands and the information below is limited to our consolidated goodwill balances. See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024 for a discussion of our other critical accounting estimates and assumptions.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets:

As of March 29, 2025, we maintain 11 reporting units, seven of which comprise our goodwill balance. These seven reporting units had an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of $28.8 billion at March 29, 2025.

38

We test our reporting units and brands for impairment annually, as of the first day of our third quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or brand is less than its carrying amount. Such events and circumstances could include a sustained decrease in our market capitalization, increased competition or unexpected loss of market share, increased input costs beyond projections, disposals of significant brands or components of our business, unexpected business disruptions (for example due to a natural disaster, pandemic, or loss of a customer, supplier, or other significant business relationship), unexpected significant declines in operating results, significant adverse changes in the markets in which we operate,
