(A)
As a result of the Big Heart acquisition in 2015, we recognized a total of $3.0 billion of goodwill, representing the value we expect to achieve through the implementation of operational synergies and growth opportunities across our segments. The purchase price allocation was finalized in 2016 and included the allocation of goodwill across all reportable segments based on the synergies anticipated to be achieved by each individual reporting unit. For further discussion on the Big Heart acquisition, see Note 2: Acquisition. Additionally, the purchase price allocation was finalized for the Sahale Snacks, Inc. acquisition in 2016, resulting in an immaterial adjustment to goodwill.
(B)
The amounts classified as other represent foreign currency exchange adjustments for the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016.
