Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets [Abstract]

(4) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The components of goodwill and other intangible assets are as follows:

In Millions		Nov. 27, 2016		May 29, 2016
Goodwill	$	8,679.1	$	8,741.2
Other intangible assets:
Intangible assets not subject to amortization:
Brands and other indefinite-lived intangibles		4,125.4		4,147.5
Intangible assets subject to amortization:
Franchise agreements, customer relationships, and other finite-lived intangibles		513.7		536.9
Less accumulated amortization		(151.7)		(145.8)
Intangible assets subject to amortization, net		362.0		391.1
Other intangible assets		4,487.4		4,538.6
Total	$	13,166.5	$	13,279.8

Based on the carrying value of finite-lived intangible assets as of November 27, 2016, annual amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is estimated to be approximately $27 million

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during fiscal 2017 were as follows:

In Millions		U.S. Retail		International		Convenience Stores and Foodservice		Joint Ventures		Total
Balance as of May 29, 2016	$	6,292.9	$	1,121.0	$	921.1	$	406.2	$	8,741.2
Divestiture		-		-		(2.3)		-		(2.3)

currency translation		-		(40.8)		-		(19.0)		(59.8)
Balance as of Nov. 27, 2016	$	6,292.9	$	1,080.2	$	918.8	$	387.2	$	8,679.1

The changes in the carrying amount of other intangible assets during fiscal 2017 were as follows:

In Millions		U.S. Retail		International		Joint Ventures		Total
Balance as of May 29, 2016	$	3,211.7	$	1,263.9	$	63.0	$	4,538.6
Other activity, primarily foreign currency translation		(1.8)		(50.5)		1.1		(51.2)
Balance as of Nov. 27, 2016	$	3,209.9	$	1,213.4	$	64.1	$	4,487.4

Our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset testing was performed on the first day of the second quarter of fiscal 2017. As of the assessment date, there was no impairment of any of our goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets as their related fair values were substantially in excess of the carrying values, except for the Immaculate Baking brand and the Latin America reporting unit. The excess fair value above the carrying value of this brand asset and reporting unit is as follows:

In Millions		Carrying Value	Excess Fair Value Above Carrying Value
Immaculate Baking	$	12.0	17%
Latin America	$	523.0	15%

In addition, while having significant coverage as of our fiscal 2017 assessment date, the Progresso, Green Giant and Food Should Taste Good brand assets had risk of decreasing coverage. We will continue to monitor these businesses for potential impairment.
