The net goodwill balances at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 include $88,324 of accumulated impairment losses. Accumulated impairment losses were $83,324 and $5,000 for the SGK Brand Solutions and Memorialization segments, respectively.
The Company performed its annual impairment review in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and determined that estimated fair value for all reporting units exceeded carrying value. The Company performed an interim assessment of its Graphics Imaging reporting unit goodwill during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and recorded a $77,572 goodwill write-down. Subsequent to this write-down, the fair value of the Graphics Imaging reporting unit, within the SGK Brand Solutions segment, approximated carrying value at September 30, 2019. If current projections are not achieved or specific valuation factors outside the Company’s control (such as discount rates) significantly change, additional goodwill write-downs may be necessary in future periods.
