Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
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, 2021
 $ 366,360  $ 92,577  $ 314,850  $ 773,787 
Translation and other adjustments (2,818) (1,050) (15,270) (19,138)
Net goodwill at June 30, 2022
 $ 363,542  $ 91,527  $ 299,580  $ 754,649 
The net goodwill balances at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 included $178,732 of accumulated impairment losses. Accumulated impairment losses at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 were $5,000, $23,946 and $149,786 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 2022 (January 1, 2022) 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 (formerly the Graphics Imaging reporting unit) exceeded the carrying value (expressed as a percentage of carrying value) by approximately 10%. The SGK Brand Solutions reporting unit has experienced recent declines, primarily resulting from weakened economic conditions (particularly in Europe) and unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates. Additionally, recent increases in the cost of certain materials, labor, and other inflationary pressures have had an unfavorable impact on the reporting unit's results of operations. 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, goodwill write-downs may be necessary in future periods.
