 Converted; Sustainable Fiber Solutions – Containerboard & Corrugated; Sustainable Fiber Solutions – Land Management; and Integrated Solutions. As a result of this segment realignment, the Company allocated goodwill to the reporting units existing under the new organizational structure on a relative fair value in the first quarter of 2025.

In conjunction with the goodwill allocation described above, we tested our reporting units for potential impairment immediately before and after the segment realignment and concluded that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying value.

For the Customized Polymer Solutions – Small Plastics/Jerrycans reporting unit, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 2%, so no impairment was deemed to exist. The low headroom is due to various acquisitions related to this reporting unit in recent years. We expect the headroom of this reporting unit to grow after synergies from those acquisitions are realized and the acquired businesses are fully integrated into our network.

For all other reporting units with goodwill balances, the fair value exceeded the carrying value by at least 26%, so no impairment was deemed to exist.

As a result of its pending sale, the Containerboard Business is presented as discontinued operations and Sustainable Fiber Solutions – Containerboard & Corrugated is no longer an operating reporting unit beginning in the third quarter of 2025. Goodwill associated with the Sustainable Fiber Solutions – Containerboard & Corrugated reporting unit has been removed from continued operations presentation.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit as of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 (recasted from the 2024 10-K by allocating goodwill to reporting units under the new organizational structure on a relative fair value basis, with goodwill associated with discontinued operations removed from presentation):
