The Oro Mobility transactions, as further disclosed in Note 15, "Subsequent Events," in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, along with the implementation of our new Platform Operating Model, are expected to impact our operating and reportable segments. As a result, we expect to revise our reportable segments effective in the fourth quarter of 2026. A change in our reporting unit composition could require us to reallocate goodwill and perform impairment testing. As this testing could incorporate changes to our reporting unit composition, as well as updates to our estimated future cash flows, among other assumptions, there is a risk that future impairment charges may occur.
