Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net

Goodwill of $8.4 million related to our IT Staffing Services segment resulted from the 2015 acquisition of Hudson Global Resources Management’s U.S. IT staffing business. Goodwill related to our Data and Analytics Services segment includes our 2017 acquisition of the services division of InfoTrellis, which totaled $27.4 million, and our 2020 acquisition of AmberLeaf, which totaled $6.4 million. The Company recorded a $5.3 million goodwill impairment related to the Data and Analytics Services segment in 2023 and a $9.7 million goodwill impairment in 2018. The impairments were primarily attributable to declines in revenue levels and lower future revenue projections.

A continued decline in our Data and Analytics Services segment may potentially affect the implied fair value of Goodwill. Should this type of trend persist, there is the risk that a goodwill impairment charge may be required in a future reporting period.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of goodwill by operating segment for the periods ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is as follows:
