Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]



10.	Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The gross carrying amount and accumulated impairment of goodwill by segment at the end of each period were as follows:



	March 25, 2016					September 25, 2015
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Impairment			Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Impairment
Specialty Brands	$	3,438.3	$	—		$	3,442.4	$	—
Specialty Generics	207.0		—			207.0		—
Nuclear Imaging	119.5		(119.5		)	119.5		(119.5		)
Total	$	3,764.8	$	(119.5	)	$	3,768.9	$	(119.5	)

During the six months ended March 25, 2016, the gross carrying value of goodwill within the Specialty Brands segment decreased by $4.1 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to changes in tax balances in the purchase price allocations, which included a decrease of $6.2 million from the Therakos Acquisition offset by an increase of $2.6 million from the Ikaria Acquisition. The remaining decrease in goodwill is attributed to a favorable net working capital settlement from the Therakos Acquisition offset by goodwill from the Hemostasis Acquisition.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of intangible assets at the end of each period were as follows:



	March 25, 2016				September 25, 2015
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Amortizable:
Completed technology	$	10,020.1	$	1,104.4	$	9,896.0	$	765.8
Licenses	185.1		106.1		185.1		99.8
Customer relationships	28.3		6.1		28.1		4.4
Trademarks	82.2		8.1		82.1		6.2
Other	6.7		6.7		6.7		6.7
Total	$	10,322.4	$	1,231.4	$	10,198.0	$	882.9
Non-Amortizable:
Trademarks	$	35.0			$	35.0
In-process research and development	299.3				316.2
Total	$	334.3			$	351.2

During the three months ended March 25, 2016, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling $16.9 million related to certain Specialty Brands in-process research and development intangible assets acquired as part of the CNS Therapeutics acquisition in fiscal 2013. The valuation method used to approximate fair value was based on the estimated discounted cash flows for the respective asset, and the impairment charges resulted from delays in anticipated FDA approval, higher than expected development costs and lower than previously anticipated commercial opportunities.

Intangible asset amortization expense within continuing operations was $175.0 million and $122.9 million during the three months ended March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015, respectively. Intangible asset amortization expense within continuing operations was $348.4 million and $247.7 million during the six months ended March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense on intangible assets owned by the Company is expected to be as follows:




Remainder of fiscal 2016	$	353.0
Fiscal 2017	700.8
Fiscal 2018	691.8
Fiscal 2019	691.5
Fiscal 2020	691.3
