The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually during the third quarter, or from time to time when warranted by the facts and circumstances surrounding individual reporting units or the Company as a whole. The Company completed its most recent annual goodwill impairment testing during the third quarter of 2022 and analyzed certain qualitative and quantitative factors in determining whether a goodwill impairment existed. The Company's assessments reflected a number of significant management assumptions and estimates including the Company's forecast of sales growth, gross profit margins, and discount rates. Changes in these assumptions could materially impact the Company's conclusions. Based on its assessments, the Company concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill for any of its reporting units.

Although no reporting units failed the annual impairment test, in management’s opinion the goodwill balances of the Plastics - Healthcare and Protexic reporting units are at risk of impairment in the near term if each reporting unit's operations do not perform in line with management's expectations, or if there is a negative change in the long-term outlook for the business or in other factors such as the discount rate. At April 2, 2023, the total goodwill associated with the Plastics - Healthcare reporting unit was $62,963 and the total goodwill associated with the Protexic reporting unit was $29,051.

During the time subsequent to the annual evaluation, and at April 2, 2023, the Company considered whether any events and/or changes in circumstances had resulted in the likelihood that the goodwill of any of its reporting units may have been impaired. It is management's opinion that no such events and/or changes in circumstances have occurred.
