The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (significant other observable inputs). The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance using significant unobservable inputs such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default.

Goodwill Changes (if any) in the net carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment were as follows: (In millions) International Farming Blueberries Total Goodwill as of October 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 $ 26.9 $ 12.5 $ 39.4 The carrying amounts of goodwill as of October 31, 2025 and 2024 were net of accumulated impairment losses of $49.5 million, attributable to the International Farming segment. Accumulated impairment losses were recognized in the year ended October 31, 2022. For the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, management performed its annual goodwill impairment tests of its two reporting units, which indicated that is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting units exceed their carrying values as of October 31, 2025 and 2024. For our reporting unit within the Blueberries segment, we performed a Step 0 qualitative analysis. For our reporting unit within the International Farming segment, we elected to use a quantitative approach to determine its fair value based on the DCF and GPC methods. The fair value determination using the DCF method requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA); and the discount rate. The determination of the fair value using the GPC method requires management to make significant assumptions related to marketplace EBITDA multiples from within a peer public company group.
