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

	Year-To-Date Ended
(In millions)	October 2, 2021		September 26, 2020
Goodwill balance at beginning of the year	$	442.4	$	438.9
Acquisition of a business (see Note 17)	117.4		—
Foreign currency translation effects	(4.3)		(1.1)
Goodwill balance at end of the quarter	$	555.5	$	437.8

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets, which comprise trade names and trademarks, totaled $718.3 million, $382.3 million, and $604.5 million as of October 2, 2021, January 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recognized a $222.2 million impairment charge for the decline in the value of the Sperry® trade name. The carrying value of the Company’s Sperry® and trade name was $296.0 million as of October 2, 2021. Based on the interim impairment assessment as of October 2, 2021, it was determined there were no triggering events of impairment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. If the operating results for Sperry® decline in future periods compared to current projections, there are changes in the assumptions and estimates the Company uses to value the Sperry® trade name that adversely affect such value, such as an increase in the discount rate or in the assumed tax rate, or macroeconomic conditions deteriorate further due to the COVID-19 pandemic and adversely affect the value of the Company’s Sperry® trade name balance, the Company may need to record a non-cash impairment charge.
