Total including Held for Sale or Sold segment | $ | 1,091,368 |  |  | $ | 8,449 |  |  | $ | 1,099,817 |
(1) | The Held for Sale or Sold goodwill balance as of April 30, 2024 includes accumulated pretax noncash goodwill impairment of $318.2 million which reduced the goodwill of all reporting units within the Held for Sale or Sold segment to zero.
Fiscal Year 2024 We recorded a goodwill impairment in the three months ended July 31, 2023 of $26.7 million. These charges are reflected in Impairment of goodwill on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Loss. In the three months ended July 31, 2023, we reorganized our segments. Due to this realignment, we reallocated goodwill in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 to our reporting units on a relative fair value basis. As a result of this realignment, we were required to test goodwill for impairment immediately before and after the realignment. Since there were no changes to the Research reportable segment, no impairment test of the Research segment goodwill was required. Prior to the realignment, the carrying value of the University Services reporting unit was above its fair value which resulted in a pretax noncash goodwill impairment of $11.4 million. Such impairment reduced the goodwill of the University Services reporting unit to zero. After the realignment, the carrying value of the CrossKnowledge reporting unit was above its fair value which resulted in a pretax noncash goodwill impairment of $15.3 million. Such impairment reduced the goodwill of the CrossKnowledge reporting unit to zero. Intangible Assets Intangible assets, net were as follows:
