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			Rest of World			Total
Balance as of June 30, 2018 ^(a)	$	552,814	$	377,163		$	94,159		$	1,024,136
Translation and other adjustments, net	—		(5,203		)	(2,070		)	(7,273		)
Balance as of March 31, 2019^(a)	$	552,814	$	371,960		$	92,089		$	1,016,863

(a) The total carrying value of goodwill is reflected net of $134,277 of accumulated impairment charges, of which $97,358 related to the Company’s United Kingdom operating segment, $29,219 related to the Company’s Europe operating segment and $7,700 related to the Company’s Hain Ventures operating segment (formerly known as the Cultivate operating segment).

Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, operations of Hain Pure Protein have been classified as discontinued operations as discussed in Note 5, Discontinued Operations. Therefore, goodwill associated with Hain Pure Protein is presented as current assets of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.

During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company updated the forecasted operating results for each of its reporting units based on the most recent financial results. The updated forecasts reflected lower projected short-term revenue growth and profitability than previously expected, primarily in its United States segment. In connection with the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended December 31, 2018, the Company assessed qualitative and quantitative factors, which included sensitivity analyses, and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting units exceeded its carrying amount.

There were no events or circumstances that warranted an interim impairment test for goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company will continue to monitor impairment indicators and financial results in future periods.

Other Intangible Assets

The following table sets forth Consolidated Balance Sheet information for intangible assets, excluding goodwill, subject to amortization and intangible assets not subject to amortization:



	March 31, 2019			June 30, 2018
Non-amortized intangible assets:
Trademarks and tradenames ^(a)	$	364,068		$	385,609
Amortized intangible assets:
Other intangibles	236,333			239,323
Less: accumulated amortization	(124,819		)	(114,545		)
Net carrying amount	$	475,582		$	510,387

(a) The gross carrying value of trademarks and tradenames is reflected net of $83,734 and $65,834 of accumulated impairment charges at March 31, 2019 and at June 30, 2018, respectively.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not amortized, consist primarily of acquired tradenames and trademarks. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated on an annual basis in conjunction with the Company’s evaluation of goodwill, or on an interim basis if and when events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of its indefinite-life intangible assets below their carrying value. 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 asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, the carrying value is written down to fair value in the period identified. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined that an indicator of impairment existed in certain of the Company’s indefinite-lived tradenames. The result of this assessment for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 indicated that the fair value of certain of the Company’s tradenames was below their carrying value, and therefore an impairment charge of $17,900 was recognized ($11,300 in the United States segment, $2,787 in the United Kingdom segment and $3,813 in the Rest of World). During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, an impairment charge of $5,632 ($5,100 in the Rest of World and $532 in the United Kingdom segment) related to certain of the Company’s tradenames was recognized.

There were no events or circumstances that warranted an interim impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Amortized 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 March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Amortization of acquired intangibles	$	3,802	$	4,713	$	11,567	$	13,859
