Cumulative goodwill impairment losses are not material. The change in goodwill and other intangible asset values presented in the tables above include the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments which are primarily related to the devaluation of the Nigerian Naira.

Annual impairment testing

At December 30, 2023, goodwill and other intangible assets amounted to $7.0 billion, consisting primarily of goodwill and brands. Within this total, approximately $1.8 billion of non-goodwill intangible assets were classified as indefinite-lived, including $1.6 billion related to trademarks, comprised principally of Pringles and cracker-related trademarks. The majority of all goodwill and other intangible assets are recorded in our North America operating segment.

The Company's annual reporting unit goodwill impairment testing, performed through the fourth quarter of 2023, consisted of quantitative testing due primarily to the passage of time since the last quantitative test. No heightened risk or qualitative indicators of goodwill impairment of any reporting units was identified.

The Company's annual intangible asset impairment testing was also performed through the fourth quarter of 2023 consisting of qualitative or quantitative testing for all significant intangible assets. As a result of the annual impairment testing the Company recognized a non-cash impairment of $34 million in selling, general and administrative expense related to a brand in the North America operating segment that primarily relates to snack category products. In performing the quantitative test of this brand, fair value was determined using a relief from royalty valuation method that includes estimates, and significant assumptions, of future cash flows to be generated from that asset based on estimates of future sales, royalty rate and discount rate consistent with rates used by market participants. After the impairment, the carrying value of this brand was $150 million at December 30, 2023. No other heightened risk or qualitative indicators of impairment of any other intangible assets was identified.
