Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The net carrying value of Goodwill as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 by segment was as follows:
  20202019
Oral, Personal and Home Care  
North America$912 $737 
Latin America171 212 
Europe2,415 2,234 
Asia Pacific190 186 
Africa/Eurasia121 124 
Total Oral, Personal and Home Care3,809 3,493 
Pet Nutrition15 15 
Total Goodwill$3,824 $3,508 

The change in the amount of Goodwill during 2020 is primarily due to the acquisition of hello (see Note 3, Acquisitions for further information) and the impact of foreign currency translation.

Other intangible assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were comprised of the following:

Total Other intangible assets$3,553 $(659)$2,894 $3,217 $(550)$2,667 

The change in the net carrying amounts of Other intangible assets during 2020 was primarily due to the acquisition of hello (see Note 3, Acquisitions for further information) and amortization expense of $88. Annual estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years is expected to be approximately $83.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the first quarter of 2020, the Company assessed whether a “triggering event” had occurred indicating a possible impairment of its goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets. As a result of this assessment, the Company determined that a “triggering event” had occurred relative to its recently acquired Filorga skin health business and, as required, performed a quantitative analysis, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, of the value of the Filorga reporting unit and its indefinite-life intangible assets. Based on the analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of the Filorga reporting unit and the related indefinite-life intangible assets continued to exceed their carrying values and were not impaired.

As of the date of the annual goodwill impairment test, the fair value of the Filorga reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. Either a reduction in the long-term growth rate of 50 basis points or an increase in the discount rate of 25 basis points would result in the fair value of the Filorga reporting unit exceeding its carrying value by less than 5%. As of the date of the annual impairment test, the fair value of the Filorga indefinite-life intangible assets exceeded their carrying value by less than 10%. Either a reduction in the long-term growth rate of 50 basis points or an increase in the discount rate of 25 basis points would result in the fair value of the Filorga indefinite-life intangible assets approximating their carrying value.
Determining the fair value of the Filorga reporting unit and indefinite-life intangible assets requires significant judgments and estimates by management regarding several key inputs, including future cash flows consistent with management’s strategic plans, sales growth rates and the selection of royalty rates and a discount rate, among others. Estimating sales growth rates requires significant judgment by management in areas such as future economic conditions, category and industry growth rates, product pricing, consumer tastes and preferences and future expansion expectations.

Given the inherent uncertainties in estimating the future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on global macroeconomic conditions and interest rates in general and on the Filorga business in particular, actual results may differ from management’s current estimates and could have an adverse impact on one or more of the assumptions used in our quantitative models related to the Filorga reporting unit and the related indefinite-life intangible assets, resulting in potential impairment charges in subsequent periods. Given the recent acquisition of Filorga, where there is inherently a lower surplus of fair value over carrying value, management will continue to assess triggering events that may necessitate additional qualitative or quantitative analyses of our reporting units and indefinite-life intangible assets in future periods.

Except for the recently acquired Filorga business, as described above, where there is inherently a lower surplus of fair value over carrying value, the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units substantially exceeds the recorded carrying value. The fair value of the Company’s indefinite-life intangible assets other than Filorga exceeds their recorded carrying value by at least 20%. Therefore, it is not reasonably likely that significant changes in these estimates would occur that would result in an impairment charge related to these assets.
