Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized but reviewed for impairment. The Company's goodwill balance relates to the Comtrafo Acquisition in fiscal 2025, the NWL Acquisition in fiscal 2024, the acquisition of Neeltran, Inc. in fiscal 2021, the Northeast Power Systems, Inc. ("NEPSI") acquisition in fiscal 2020, and the acquisition of Infinia Technology Corporation in fiscal 2017 and is reported in the Grid business segment. Goodwill is reviewed annually on February 28th and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill might not be recoverable. Goodwill increased by $122.2 million during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, related to the Comtrafo Acquisition. Changes in the Company’s goodwill are as follows (in thousands):
