The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

	Year-To-Date Ended

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets, which comprise trade names and trademarks, totaled $604.5 million as of September 26, 2020, December 28, 2019 and September 28, 2019. The carrying value of the Company’s Sperry® trade name was $518.2 million as of September 26, 2020. Based on the interim impairment assessment as of September 26, 2020, it was determined there were no triggering events of impairment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. If the operating results for Sperry® were to decline in future periods compared to current projections, or if further deterioration of macroeconomic conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affect the value of the Company’s Sperry® trade name and goodwill balances, the Company may need to record a non-cash impairment charge. The Company continues to monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and actions taken by governments, businesses and individuals in response to the pandemic, on the global economy to assess the outlook for demand for our products and the impact on our business and financial performance.
