Goodwill

We review goodwill for impairment on a reporting unit basis annually during the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company performed a qualitative assessment by reporting unit as of October 1, 2024. This assessment included consideration of key factors including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, financial performance, and other relevant entity and reporting unit-specific events. Based on our qualitative assessment, we determined it was not more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. As such, it was not necessary to perform a quantitative test. There have been no significant events or circumstances affecting the valuation of goodwill subsequent to the qualitative assessment performed as of October 1, 2024.

Allocation of Goodwill to Reporting Segment

The following table shows our goodwill balances by reportable segment: 

(In millions)	Food		Protective		Total
Gross Carrying Value at December 31, 2022	$	572.2	$	1,792.0	$	2,364.2
Accumulated amortization	(49.0)		(140.7)		(189.7)
Carrying Value at December 31, 2022	$	523.2	$	1,651.3	$	2,174.5
Acquisition(1)	707.4		—		707.4
Currency translation	4.7		6.1		10.8
Gross Carrying Value at December 31, 2023	$	1,284.3	$	1,798.1	$	3,082.4
Accumulated amortization	(49.1)		(140.8)		(189.9)
Carrying Value at December 31, 2023	$	1,235.2	$	1,657.3	$	2,892.5

(1)Represents amounts allocated to goodwill resulting from acquisitions, primarily for Liquibox. See Note 5, "Acquisitions," for further details.

(2)The change in accumulated amortization from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024 is due to the impact of foreign currency translation.

As noted above, it was determined under a qualitative assessment that there was no impairment of goodwill. However, if we become aware of indicators of impairment in future periods, we may be required to perform an interim assessment for some or all of our reporting units before the next annual assessment. Examples of relevant factors we consider on an interim basis may include a decrease in expected net earnings, adverse market conditions, a decline in current market multiples, a decline in our common stock price, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climates, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, leadership changes, unanticipated competition, strategic decisions made in response to economic or competitive conditions, or a more likely than not expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or disposed of. In the event that significant adverse changes lead to a decrease in the valuation of one or more of our reporting units, we may have to recognize a non-cash impairment of goodwill, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Expected future cash flows associated with the Company's intangible assets are not expected to be materially affected by the Company's intent or ability to renew or extend the arrangements. Based on our experience with similar agreements, we expect to continue to renew contracts held as intangibles through the end of the remaining useful lives.
