We conduct our annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year, as well as whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible impairment. In performing this test, we utilize a third-party valuation specialist to assist management in determining the fair value of our reporting units. Fair value of each reporting unit is estimated based on a combination of discounted cash flows and the use of pricing multiples derived from an analysis of comparable public companies multiplied against historical and/or anticipated financial metrics of each reporting unit. These calculations contain uncertainties as they require management to make assumptions including, but not limited to, market comparables, future cash flows of the reporting units, and appropriate discount and long-term growth rates. This fair value determination is categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2025, accumulated goodwill impairment losses were $1,435.5 million. All remaining goodwill is attributable to our Driveline reporting unit. On July 1, 2025, we completed the sale of AAM India Manufacturing Corporation Pvt., Ltd. to Bharat Forge Limited. As a result, we have removed $8.3 million of goodwill associated with this business from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025 that had previously been classified as held-for-sale. See Note 2 - Acquisitions and Dispositions for more detail. Other Intangible Assets The following table provides a reconciliation of the gross carrying amount and associated accumulated amortization for AAM's other intangible assets, which are all subject to amortization:

Amortization expense for our intangible assets was $20.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and $20.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and was $61.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $62.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Estimated amortization expense for the years 2025 through 2029 is expected to be approximately $80 million per year on an AAM standalone basis without giving effect to amortization expense that could be incurred in connection with the Business Combination.
