In the first nine months of 2017, goodwill increased by approximately $2.0 billion, which primarily related to the Newell Tools and Craftsman brand acquisitions. The goodwill amounts for these and other 2017 acquisitions are subject to change based upon the allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Refer to Note F, Acquisitions, for further discussion.
