Goodwill
The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment and in total:
(in millions)PharmaceuticalMedical (1)Total
Balance at June 30, 2022$2,673 $3,182 $5,855 
Foreign currency translation adjustments and other— (6)(6)
Goodwill impairment— (863)(863)
Balance at December 31, 2022$2,673 $2,313 $4,986 
(1)At December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Medical segment accumulated goodwill impairment loss was $4.4 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively.
Due to certain reductions in our long-term financial plan assumptions made during the three months ended December 31, 2022, including those related to Cardinal Health branded medical products sales growth, we elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform quantitative goodwill impairment testing for the Medical Unit. This quantitative testing resulted in the carrying amount of the Medical Unit exceeding the fair value, resulting in a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $709 million. The impairment charge recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2022 was driven primarily by the impact of the reductions in our long-term financial plan assumptions.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we performed quantitative goodwill impairment testing for the Medical Unit, which resulted in a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $154 million driven by an increase in the discount rate primarily due to an increase in the risk-free interest rate. The cumulative pre-tax goodwill impairment charges of $863 million were recognized in impairments and (gain)/loss on disposal of assets, net in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings/(loss) for six months ended December 31, 2022.
Our determinations of the estimated fair value of the Medical Unit at December 31, 2022 and at September 30, 2022 were based on a combination of the income-based approach (using a terminal growth rate of 2 percent), and the market-based approaches. For the income-based approach, we used discount rates of 10.5 percent for both periods. Additionally, we assigned a weighting of 80 percent to the discounted cash flow method, 10 percent to the guideline public company method, and 10 percent to the guideline transaction method. Our fair value estimates utilize significant unobservable inputs and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements.
The carrying value of the Medical Unit at December 31, 2022 after recognizing the impairment charges was $6.2 billion, of which $1.1 billion was goodwill.
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we performed quantitative goodwill impairment testing for the Medical Unit. This quantitative testing resulted in the carrying amount of the Medical
Unit exceeding the fair value, resulting in a pre-tax impairment charge of $1.3 billion recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2021.
