Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The following table shows the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by business segment:



	United States			United Kingdom		Hain Pure Protein		Rest of World		Total
Balance as of June 30, 2017 (a)	$	591,416		$	329,135	$	41,089	$	98,341	$	1,059,981
Reallocation of goodwill between reporting units (b)	(35,519		)	35,519		—		—		—
Translation and other adjustments, net	—			10,785		—		2,915		13,700
Balance as of September 30, 2017 (a)	$	555,897		$	375,439	$	41,089	$	101,256	$	1,073,681

(a) The total carrying value of goodwill is reflected net of $126,577 of accumulated impairment charges, of which $97,358 related to the Company’s United Kingdom operating segment and $29,219 related to the Company’s Europe operating segment.

(b) Effective July 1, 2017, due to changes to the Company’s internal management and reporting structure, the United Kingdom operations of the Ella’s Kitchen^® brand, which was previously included within the United States reportable segment, was moved to the United Kingdom reportable segment. Goodwill totaling $35,519 was reallocated to the United Kingdom reportable segment in connection with this change. See Note 1, Business, and Note 15, Segment Information, for additional information on the Company’s operating and reportable segments.

The Company performs its annual test for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible asset impairment as of the first day of the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. In addition, if and when events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of its reporting units or indefinite-life intangible assets below their carrying value, an interim test is performed.

The change in operating segments as described above was deemed a triggering event, resulting in the Company performing an interim goodwill impairment analysis on the reporting units impacted by this segment change as of immediately before and immediately after the change. There were no impairment indicators resulting from this analysis, and there were no impairment charges recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Other Intangible Assets

The following table sets forth balance sheet information for intangible assets, excluding goodwill, subject to amortization and intangible assets not subject to amortization:



	September 30, 2017			June 30, 2017
Non-amortized intangible assets:
Trademarks and tradenames (a)	$	431,321		$	424,817
Amortized intangible assets:
Other intangibles	253,087			247,712
Less: accumulated amortization	(105,989		)	(99,261		)
Net carrying amount	$	578,419		$	573,268

(a) The gross carrying value of trademarks and tradenames is reflected net of $60,202 of accumulated impairment charges.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not amortized, consist primarily of acquired trade names and trademarks. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated on an annual basis, in conjunction with the Company’s evaluation of goodwill. In assessing fair value, the Company utilizes a “relief from royalty” methodology. This approach involves two steps: (i) estimating the royalty rates for each trademark and (ii) applying these royalty rates to a projected net sales stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine fair value. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds the fair value of the asset, the carrying value is written down to fair value in the period identified. The result of this assessment for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 indicated that the fair value of certain of the Company’s tradenames was below their carrying value, and therefore an impairment charge of $14,079 ($7,579 in the United Kingdom segment and $6,500 in the United States segment) was recognized during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. There were no other impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2017, and no impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Amortizable intangible assets, which are deemed to have a finite life, primarily consist of customer relationships and are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 25 years. Amortization expense included in continuing operations was as follows:



	Three Months ended September 30,
	2017		2016
Amortization of intangible assets	$	4,911	$	4,728
