__________________________________ (1) Measurement period adjustments related to the 2023 Acquisitions which impacted the amount of goodwill originally reported. The Company evaluated impairment indicators for the previous reporting units immediately prior to the change in reportable segments described in Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and concluded there were no indicators of impairment. Immediately after the change in reportable segments, the Company performed qualitative assessments for five reporting units consisting of $285.0 million of goodwill and quantitative tests for three reporting units consisting of $100.8 million of goodwill. The results of the qualitative assessments and quantitative tests indicated it was more likely than not that the fair value of all reporting units exceeded their carrying values. During 2024, 2023 and 2022, the annual goodwill impairment analyses, which are performed as of the first day of the Company's fourth quarter (the "annual impairment test date"), did not result in any impairment charges. For the year ended August 31, 2024, the Company performed qualitative assessments for six reporting units consisting of $271.5 million of goodwill as of the 2024 annual impairment test date and quantitative tests for two reporting units consisting of $71.7 million and $40.7 million of goodwill as of the 2024 annual impairment test date. The results of the qualitative assessments and quantitative tests indicated it was more likely than not that the fair value of all reporting units exceeded their carrying values. The difference in the value of goodwill between the 2024 annual impairment test date and August 31, 2024 was due to the foreign currency translation adjustments. Other indefinite-lived intangible assets consisted of the following:
(in thousands) |  | August 31, 2024 |  | August 31, 2023
Trade names |  | $ | 54,531 |  |  | $ | 54,056 |
In-process research and development |  | 2,400 |  |  | 2,400 |
Non-compete agreements |  | 750 |  |  | 750 |
Total |  | $ | 57,681 |  |  | $ | 57,206 |
During 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not record any indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges. As of the 2024 annual impairment test date, the Company had $57.3 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets, of which $54.1 million were tested for impairment using a quantitative approach. Based on the quantitative tests performed, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that the estimated fair values of the indefinite-lived intangible assets were greater than their respective carrying values. The changes in the balance of intangible assets with indefinite lives from August 31, 2023 to August 31, 2024 and from the 2024 annual impairment test date to August 31, 2024 were due to foreign currency translation adjustments. Other intangible assets subject to amortization are detailed in the following table:
