The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of the Company's reporting units.  In fiscal 2021, the Company concluded it is more likely than not that the fair values of the reporting units containing goodwill exceeded the related carrying value pursuant to a qualitative assessment
completed as of October 30, 2021. In fiscal 2020, the Company performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment assessments at October 24, 2020 pursuant to a quantitative assessment and prior to finalizing the impairment testing a triggering event occurred, which due to unfavorable economics in the biodiesel industry, the Company made the decision to shut down processing operations at its biodiesel facilities located in the United States and Canada, and there are no current plans to resume biodiesel production at these facilities in the future. As a result, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges in fiscal 2020 of approximately $31.6 million. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion on asset impairment. Based on the Company's annual impairment testing at October 24, 2020, the remaining reporting units fair value exceeded their carrying value. In fiscal 2019, the fair values of the Company’s reporting units containing goodwill exceeded the related carrying value pursuant to a quantitative assessment completed as of October 26, 2019.
