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. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment annually during the third fiscal quarter, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In testing goodwill for impairment, we utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. When performing the qualitative assessment, we consider the following factors: changes in the Company's stock price or market capitalization, changes in the industry and competitive environment, budget-to-actual revenue and profitability performance from the prior year and projected revenue and profitability trends for future years at the reporting unit level. If our qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, we perform a quantitative assessment by comparing the carrying value to the fair value of the reporting units. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, the amount of impairment is computed as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. Any impairment charges could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and net asset value in the quarter in which we recognize the impairment charge.
We performed the required annual goodwill impairment testing for all reporting units as of February 28, 2025, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. As a result of our qualitative assessment, we determined that it was not necessary to perform the quantitative assessment. The next annual goodwill impairment assessment by reporting unit is scheduled to be performed in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, in connection with our annual strategic planning process, we noted a continued deterioration of the long-term forecast for our Printed Circuit Board (“PCB”) business, which is part of our PCB and Component Inspection reportable segment. In addition, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we completed an internal reorganization affecting the composition of reporting units within our Specialty Semiconductor Process and PCB and Component Inspection reportable segments. The downward revision of financial outlook for PCB and the reorganization of reporting units triggered goodwill impairment tests. As a result of our quantitative assessment before reorganization, we recorded a total goodwill impairment charge of $230.4 million in the PCB reporting unit, which is part of the PCB and Component Inspection reportable segment, in the three months ended December 31, 2024. No goodwill impairment was
identified in the Specialty Semiconductor Process reportable segment. We assessed for impairment subsequent to the reorganization and noted no impairment. The goodwill balances of our new reporting units after reorganization were allocated on a relative fair value basis.
To determine the fair value of a reporting unit, we utilized income and market approaches and applied a weighting of 75 percent and 25 percent, respectively. The income approach is estimated through discounted cash flow analysis. This valuation technique requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions, including long-term growth rates, discount rates and other inputs. The market approach estimates the fair value of the reporting unit by utilizing the market comparable method, which is based on revenue and earnings multiples from comparable companies. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease the fair value of our reporting units, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.
The following table presents changes in goodwill carrying value by reportable segment during the nine months ended March 31, 2025:
(In thousands) Semiconductor Process Control Specialty Semiconductor Process PCB and Component Inspection Total
Balances as of June 30, 2024 $ 753,018  $ 681,858  $ 580,850  $ 2,015,726

Balances as of March 31, 2025 $ 755,224  $ 681,858  $ 350,450  $ 1,787,532 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we identified an impairment indicator within our PCB and Component Inspection reportable segment due to the deterioration in long-term forecast for the PCB and Display businesses. As a result of our quantitative assessment, we recorded a total goodwill impairment charge of $192.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we decided to exit the Display business by announcing the end of manufacturing of most Display products but continue to provide services to the installed base of Display products for existing customers. The exit of the business did not qualify as a discontinued operation under the relevant accounting guidance, but the decision triggered a quantitative impairment assessment for the Display reporting unit, which resulted in a total goodwill impairment charge of $70.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, goodwill is net of accumulated impairment losses of $277.6 million, $144.2 million and $70.5 million in the Semiconductor Process Control, Specialty Semiconductor Process and PCB and Component Inspection reportable segments, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, following the internal reorganization noted above, goodwill is net of accumulated impairment losses of $277.6 million and $70.5 million in the Semiconductor Process Control and PCB and Component Inspection reportable segments, respectively.
Purchased Intangible Assets
Changes in the gross carrying amount of intangible assets result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions. The components of purchased intangible assets as of the dates indicated below were as follows:

Purchased intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be fully recoverable. Impairment indicators primarily include declines in our operating cash flows from the use of these assets. If impairment indicators are present, we are required to perform a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to these long-lived assets to their carrying value.
As of March 31, 2025, there were no impairment indicators for purchased intangible assets.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we identified an impairment indicator for the long-lived assets in our PCB and Component Inspection reportable segment due to the downward revision of financial outlook for the PCB business as noted above. The internal reorganization described above was also considered a trigger for impairment analysis of the long-lived assets of the Specialty Semiconductor Process and PCB and Component Inspection reportable segments.
In connection with the evaluation of goodwill impairment, we assessed tangible and intangible assets for impairment prior to performing the goodwill impairment tests. We first performed a recoverability test for each affected asset group by comparing projected undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of each asset group to its carrying value. The tests indicated that the undiscounted cash flows of all asset groups in the Specialty Semiconductor Process reportable segment were sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset groups. However, the tests indicated that the undiscounted cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset groups in the PCB and Component Inspection reportable segment. We then compared the carrying value of the individual long-lived assets within those asset groups against their fair value in order to measure the impairment loss. Determining the fair value involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue forecasts, terminal growth rate, tax rate and a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for company-specific risk.
We recorded a total purchased intangible assets impairment charge of $8.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. No impairment was identified for other long-lived asset groups of the Company in the three months ended December 31, 2024.
As part of the evaluation of goodwill impairment in the PCB and Component Inspection reportable segment in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 noted above, the Company assessed long-lived assets for impairment prior to performing the goodwill impairment test. As a result, we recorded a total purchased intangible asset impairment charge of $26.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, in connection with the Company's decision to exit the Display business, as described above, an immaterial amount of purchased intangible assets were abandoned.
Amortization expense for purchased intangible assets was $53.9 million and $169.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, and $57.8 million and $180.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively.
Based on the purchased intangible assets gross carrying amount recorded as of March 31, 2025, the remaining estimated annual amortization expense is expected to be as follows:
Fiscal year ending June 30: Amortization (In thousands)
2025 (remaining three months) $ 50,903 
2026 195,869 
2027 123,357 
2028 48,123 
2029 35,237 
2030 and thereafter 15,836 
Total $ 469,325 
The expected amortization expense is an estimate. Actual amounts of amortization may differ from estimated amounts due to additional intangible asset acquisitions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, impairment of intangible assets and other events.
