Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations. As a result of the change in reporting units effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we have three reportable segments, and reporting units are determined to be the same as reportable segments. We performed a quantitative impairment assessment by estimating the fair value of our new reporting units and reallocating goodwill to the reporting units using a relative fair value method. No impairment of goodwill was identified before and after the change in reporting units. We also performed the required annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired.

Goodwill activity by reportable segment consists of the following:
