Goodwill is net of accumulated impairment losses of $277.6 million, which were recorded prior to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. The changes in the goodwill balance during the nine months ended March 31, 2017 resulted from foreign currency translation adjustments.
The Company performed a qualitative assessment of the goodwill by reporting unit as of November 30, 2016 during the three months ended December 31, 2016 and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its carrying amount. As of December 31, 2016, the Company's assessment indicated that goodwill in the reporting units was not impaired. There have been no significant events or circumstances affecting the valuation of goodwill subsequent to the qualitative assessment performed in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.
