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 
Additions during period —  —  410  410 
Translation and other adjustments 2,253  4,507  9,424  16,184 
Net goodwill at December 31, 2022
 $ 364,035  $ 111,529  $ 216,451  $ 692,015 
The net goodwill balances at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 included $261,186 of accumulated impairment losses. Accumulated impairment losses at December 31, 2022 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 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 Company performed an interim assessment of its SGK Brand Solutions goodwill reporting unit as of September 1, 2022 and 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. 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 following tables summarize the carrying amounts and related accumulated amortization for intangible assets as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
