A **100 basis point** increase in the discount rates for EFCO (**11.0%**) and Sotawall (**10.4%**) would cause their fair values to fall below carrying values, indicating goodwill impairment[119](index=119&type=chunk) [Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk](index=27&type=section&id=Item%203.%20Quantitative%20and%20Qualitative%20Disclosures%20About%20Market%20Risk) No material changes were reported regarding the company's quantitative and qualitative market risk disclosures from the prior fiscal year's Annual Report -
