During 2023, the acquisitions of Augmenta, Bennamann and Hemisphere led to an increase in goodwill for Agriculture of $76 million, $118 million and $111 million, respectively. Goodwill related to the acquisitions was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Measurement period adjustments were recorded in 2024 reducing goodwill by $3 million for Hemisphere. During the fiscal year 2023, measurement period adjustments were recorded reducing goodwill by $14 million and $3 million for Augmenta and Bennamann, respectively. The valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were finalized for Hemisphere as of December 31, 2024 and for Augmenta and Bennamann as of March 31, 2024.
Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level. Under the goodwill impairment test, CNH’s estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. CNH has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if a triggering event occurs. At December 31, 2024 the Company completed its annual impairment assessment and concluded there were no impairments to
goodwill for any of the reporting units. As of December 31, 2024 the estimated fair values of each reporting units with goodwill exceeded the carrying value by more than 58%.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s other intangible assets and related accumulated amortization consisted of the following:
