As a result of the operating segment realignment discussed in Note 19 - Segment Information, the composition of the Company's reporting units for the evaluation of goodwill impairment has changed. Historically, the Company's reporting units were identified at the operating segment level, which consisted of AgroFresh Core and AgroFresh Fruit Protection and all of the Company's goodwill was assigned to the AgroFresh Fruit Protection reporting unit. Effective December 31, 2021, the Company concluded that it has one operating segment and one reporting unit, which resulted in the reassignment of its goodwill to its stand-alone reporting unit. Prior to the change, the Company tested goodwill for impairment at the previous reporting unit, which did not result in any impairment charge. Based upon the Company's impairment assessment at the new reporting unit (consolidated AgroFresh), the Company determined the carrying amount of the consolidated entity exceeded its fair value. As a result, the Company recorded $6.4 million in goodwill impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company’s intangible assets at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of the following:
