Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangibles

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangibles

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following as of August 28, 2021 and May 29, 2021:


(In millions)	Goodwill		Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
May 29, 2021	$	364.2	$	97.6
Foreign currency translation adjustments	(6.2)		(1.5)
Acquisition of Knoll	925.9		396.9
August 28, 2021	$	1,283.9	$	493.0

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit has more likely than not declined below its carrying value. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may first assess qualitative factors. If an initial qualitative assessment identifies that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, additional quantitative testing is performed. The Company may also elect to bypass the qualitative testing and proceed directly to the quantitative testing. If the quantitative testing indicates that goodwill is impaired, the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value.

Each of the reporting units, with the exception of Knoll, were reviewed for impairment using a quantitative assessment as of March 31, 2021, our annual testing date. In performing the quantitative impairment test for fiscal year 2021, the Company determined that the fair value of its reporting units exceeded the carrying amount and, as such, these reporting units were not impaired.

In connection with the segment reorganization, certain of the Company’s reporting units have changed in composition, and goodwill was reallocated between such reporting units using a relative fair value approach. Accordingly, the Company performed interim goodwill impairment tests in the first quarter of 2022 for each reporting unit, with the exception of Knoll. Based on the results of the tests performed, the Company determined that the fair value of each reporting unit, as reorganized, exceeded its respective carrying amount in each case.

Goodwill related to the acquisition of Knoll was recorded within the Knoll segment at $925.9 million. This increase was offset by foreign currency translation adjustments, resulting in a goodwill balance of $1,283.9 million as of August 28, 2021.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization and are evaluated annually for impairment, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of an intangible asset may not be recoverable.

In fiscal 2021, the Company performed quantitative assessments in testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The carrying value of the Company's HAY trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset was $41.7 million as of March 31, 2021. The calculated fair value of the HAY trade name was $43.8 million which represents an excess fair value of $2.1 million or 5.0%. If the residual cash flow related to this trade name were to decline in future periods, the Company may need to record an impairment charge.

During the three months ended August 28, 2021, there were no identified indicators of impairment that required the Company to complete an interim quantitative impairment assessment related to any of the Company's reporting units or indefinitely-lived intangible assets.
