The Company has announced certain strategic actions, including the planned spinoff of the Network Power business, as well as the evaluation of alternatives, including potential sale, for the power generation and motors and drives businesses. These units, with goodwill of $2.2 billion, $430 million and $239 million, respectively, will be included in the Company's annual goodwill impairment review in the fourth quarter. Business conditions remain uncertain and it is possible the Company could recognize an impairment charge, or incur a future loss on the ultimate spinoff of Network Power or potential separation of the other businesses. See Note 11.
The gross carrying amount of goodwill for the Company was $7,576 million and $7,828 million as of June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. Accumulated pretax goodwill impairment losses were $646 million at the end of both periods, all in the Network Power segment. The decrease in goodwill since September 30, 2014 is primarily due to the sale of the power transmission solutions business (previously reported in the Industrial Automation segment), as well as foreign currency translation.
