addition of goodwill

though I would rewrite the sentence somewhat to something like:

"The amount reported under intangible assets includes the addition of goodwill" or "..includes newly acquired goodwill". Normally this would be followed by the amount of the addition.

Please note that unlike in German, you can't have "a" goodwill in English. It's a collective noun.
