Goodwill Associated with Acquisitions and Divestitures

The net goodwill reduction of $0.7 million in 2019 within the Performance Materials segment was due to a goodwill reduction of $1.3 million as a result of post-closing purchase price adjustments in the second and third quarters of 2019 related to the acquisition of Interface Performance Materials on August 31, 2018, partially offset by acquisition activity in the second quarter of 2019 resulting in a goodwill addition of $0.6 million.

The additional goodwill of $131.5 million in 2018 within the Performance Materials segment results from the two acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2018. The Interface acquisition accounted for $131.0 million of the $131.5 million increase. The amount allocated to goodwill was reflective of the benefits the Company expected to realize from the expansion of the Company's engineered materials offering, new product development and Interface's assembled workforce. None of the goodwill associated with the Interface acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Goodwill Impairment

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company performed its annual impairment analysis of the goodwill in the Performance Materials reporting unit (PM reporting unit) and in the Technical Nonwovens reporting unit (TNW reporting unit). The Company used the qualitative method to analyze the goodwill for the TNW reporting unit by considering capital markets environment, economic conditions, industry trends, results of operations, and other factors. The Company also considered changes in assumptions used in the Company's most recent quantitative annual testing, including results of operations, the magnitude of excess of fair value over carrying value and other factors. As a result of this qualitative analysis, the Company concluded that the TNW reporting unit's fair value more likely than not exceeds its carrying value and as a result, the quantitative impairment assessment was not required to be completed.

For the PM reporting unit, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $63.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2019. See Note 7, Impairment, to these Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the goodwill impairment.
