Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The change in the carrying amount of goodwill of $3 million as of July 3, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 was due to foreign currency exchange differences and other adjustments within the Commodity Trading and Milling (“CT&M”) segment. As of July 3, 2021, other intangible assets, included in other non-current assets, were $50 million, net of accumulated amortization of $27 million.
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Seaboard computes its year-to-date provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period.
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted | Accounting Standard Recently Adopted On January 1, 2020, Seaboard adopted guidance which requires the use of a new current expected credit loss model in order to determine the allowance for credit losses with respect to receivables, among other financial instruments. This model estimates the lifetime of expected credit loss and replaces the existing incurred loss model. As a result of this adoption, Seaboard recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $3 million on January 1, 2020 that decreased retained earnings and increased the allowance for credit losses.
