The net goodwill balances at September 30, 2024 and 2023 included $277,913 and $261,186 of accumulated impairment losses, respectively. Accumulated impairment losses at September 30, 2024 were $5,000, $40,673, and $232,240 for the Memorialization, Industrial Technologies and SGK Brand Solutions segments, respectively. Accumulated impairment losses at September 30, 2023 were $5,000, $23,946, and $232,240 for the Memorialization, Industrial Technologies and SGK Brand Solutions segments, respectively. Fiscal 2024: In fiscal 2024, the additions reflect the acquisition of a small business within the Memorialization segment. The Company performed its annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 (January 1, 2024) and determined that the estimated fair values for all goodwill reporting units exceeded their carrying values, therefore no impairment charges were necessary. The results of this review indicated that the estimated fair value of the Company's SGK Brand Solutions reporting unit exceeded the carrying value (expressed as a percentage of carrying value) by approximately 7%. The fair value for the reporting unit was determined using level 3 inputs (including estimates of revenue growth, EBITDA contribution and the discount rates) and a combination of the income approach using the estimated discounted cash flows and a market-based valuation methodology. If current projections are not achieved or specific valuation factors outside the Company's control (such as discount rates and continued economic and industry challenges) significantly change, additional goodwill write-downs may be necessary in future periods. The Company's Surfaces and Engineering reporting unit experienced declines during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily related to the Company's recently acquired (August 2022) Olbrich GmbH business. The Company determined that a triggering event occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, resulting in a re-evaluation of the goodwill for the Surfaces and Engineering reporting unit as of September 1, 2024. As a result of this interim assessment, the Company recorded a goodwill write-down totaling $16,727 during the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter, reducing the amount of goodwill for this reporting unit to zero. The fair value for the reporting unit was determined using level 3 inputs (including estimates of revenue growth, EBITDA contribution and the discount rates) and the income approach valuation methodology which utilizes estimated discounted cash flows of the reporting unit. Fiscal 2023: In fiscal 2023, the additions reflect the acquisition of Eagle Granite Company within the Memorialization segment, the purchase of the remaining ownership interest in an Industrial Technologies subsidiary, and small acquisitions within the SGK Brand Solutions segment. Fiscal 2022: In fiscal 2022, in its assessment of the potential impacts of weakened economic conditions (particularly in Europe), increases in the cost of certain materials, labor, and other inflation-related pressures, and unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates on the estimated future earnings and cash flows for the SGK Brand Solutions reporting unit, and in light of the limited excess fair value over carrying value for this reporting unit, management determined a triggering event occurred, resulting in a re-evaluation of goodwill for the reporting unit, as of September 1, 2022. As a result of this interim assessment, the Company recorded a goodwill write-down totaling $82,454 during the fiscal 2022 fourth quarter. Subsequent to this write-down, the fair value of the SGK Brand Solutions reporting unit approximated its carrying value at September 1, 2022. The fair value for the reporting unit was determined using level 3 inputs (including estimates of revenue growth, EBITDA contribution and the discount rates) and a combination of the income approach using the estimated discounted cash flows and a market-based valuation methodology. The following tables summarize the carrying amounts and related accumulated amortization for intangible assets as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
