completing its acquisition accounting and working capital adjustments for certain prior year acquisitions. At December 31,
2024, goodwill is presented net of accumulated impairment losses of $90.0 million, all of which were recorded during the year
ended December 31, 2024 and are included in our Other category as described above. There were no accumulated impairment
losses as of December 31, 2023.

1 The weighted-average useful life calculation excludes fully amortized intangible assets.
Changes in foreign exchange rates resulted in $69.6 million and $32.4 million decreases to the carrying values of other
intangible assets in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible
assets for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $230.8 million, $225.4 million and $227.2 million,
respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company wrote-off the gross carrying amounts and the related
accumulated amortization of fully amortized intangible assets of approximately $70.3 million which were no longer being used.
Due to rebranding activity during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reassessed the useful lives of certain
trademarks. This resulted in a reclassification of $13.3 million from indefinite to finite-lived assets as of December 31, 2024. At
the time of change in estimate, which was applied prospectively, the Company tested these trademarks for impairment, which
resulted in no impairment charge.
