A summary of the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each segment as well as the changes in such amounts are as follows:
Memorialization Industrial Technologies SGK Brand
Solutions		 Consolidated
Net goodwill at September 30, 2022
 $ 361,782  $ 107,022  $ 206,617  $ 675,421

Net goodwill at March 31, 2023
 $ 370,329  $ 118,997  $ 219,441  $ 708,767 

The net goodwill balances at March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022 included $261,186 of accumulated impairment losses. Accumulated impairment losses at March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were $5,000, $23,946 and $232,240 for the Memorialization, Industrial Technologies and SGK Brand Solutions segments, respectively.

The Company performed its annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 (January 1, 2023) and determined that the estimated fair values for all goodwill reporting units exceeded their carrying values, therefore no impairment charges were necessary. 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 9%. 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.
