GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Intangible assets classified as goodwill are not amortized. The goodwill established in connection with our acquisitions represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from the assets we acquired that did not qualify to be identified and recognized individually. The goodwill also includes the value of expected future cash flows from the acquisitions, expected synergies with our other affiliates and other unidentifiable intangible assets.
The Company performs an annual impairment test of its goodwill during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, which coincides with the completion of its annual forecasting and refreshing of business outlook process.
The Company performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and concluded that no impairment charge was required. Any future adverse changes in expected operating results and/or unfavorable changes in other economic factors used to estimate fair values could result in a noncash impairment in the future.
During the fiscal year ended October 1, 2022, the Company reviewed qualitative factors to ascertain if a “triggering” event may have taken place that may have the effect of reducing the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value and concluded that no triggering event had occurred. While we have concluded that a triggering event did not occur during the fiscal year ended October 1, 2022, the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and macroeconomic headwinds could impact the results of operations due to changes to assumptions utilized in the determination of the estimated fair values of the reporting units that could be significant enough to trigger an impairment. Net sales and earnings growth rates could be negatively impacted by reductions or changes in demand for our products. The discount rate utilized in our valuation model could also be impacted by changes in the underlying interest rates and risk premiums included in the determination of the cost of capital.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company reconsidered its reportable segments and has revised the segment-related presentation in the Original Form 10-K. As a result, its four reportable segments are (1) Ball Bonding Equipment, (2) Wedge Bonding Equipment, (3) Advanced Solutions, and (4) Aftermarket Products and Services (“APS”). All other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment have been grouped within an “All Others” category. Please refer to Note 16 for further information on the revision of the reportable and operating segments.
Accordingly, the Company’s goodwill as previously reported under “Capital Equipment” in the Original Form 10-K has been disaggregated and presented separately into the Wedge Bonding Equipment reportable segment and the “All Others” category. There are no changes to the goodwill reported under the APS reportable segment. While there were no changes in the methodology and level at which the Company performs its goodwill impairment tests, and no resulting amendments to the total carrying amount of the goodwill, the following table shows the allocation of goodwill based on these revised segments.
The following table summarizes the Company’s recorded goodwill, where applicable, by reportable segments and the “All Others” category, as of October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021:

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company’s intangible assets consist primarily of developed technology, customer relationships, in-process research and development, and trade and brand names.
