Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

We had goodwill of $2,085.7 million and $2,080.3 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The change in the net carrying amount of goodwill by segment was as follows:

We also had net identifiable intangible assets, principally tradenames, of $1,229.2 million and $1,246.8 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The $5.1 million increase in gross identifiable intangible assets was primarily due to foreign translation adjustments.

Amortizable identifiable intangible assets, principally tradenames and customer relationships, are subject to amortization over their estimated useful life, ranging from 2 to 30 years, based on the assessment of a number of factors that may impact useful life. These factors include historical and tradename performance with respect to consumer name recognition, geographic market presence, market share, plans for ongoing tradename support and promotion, customer attrition rates and other relevant factors.  

In the first half of 2019, no events or circumstances occurred that would have required us to perform interim impairment tests of goodwill or indefinite-lived tradenames. During the third and fourth quarters of 2018, we recognized impairment charges related to two tradenames in the Cabinets segment.  Accordingly, a further reduction in the estimated fair value of these tradenames could trigger an impairment.  In addition, due to lower than expected sales in our custom and semi-custom cabinetry product lines during the six months ended June 30, 2019, an impairment could be triggered on a third tradename on continuing sales decreases. As of December 31, 2018, the total carrying value of these tradenames was approximately $203 million. Factors influencing our fair value estimates of the tradenames are described in the following paragraph.

The events and/or circumstances that could have a potential negative effect on the estimated fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived tradenames include: actual new construction and repair and remodel growth rates that fall below our assumptions, actions of key customers, increases in discount rates, continued economic uncertainty, higher levels of unemployment, weak consumer confidence, lower levels of discretionary consumer spending, a decrease in royalty rates and decline in the trading price of our common stock.  We cannot predict the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.
