(2)In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we moved our Advertising Cloud offerings from our Digital Experience segment into our new Publishing and Advertising segment, which combined Advertising Cloud with our previous Publishing segment.
Certain goodwill balances were misclassified between our reportable segments, which have been updated in the above tables. The impact to our prior year disclosures was immaterial and there was no impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements resulting from the change in classification.

In fiscal 2020, and 2019, certain intangibles associated with our acquisitions in prior years became fully amortized and were removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Amortization expense related to other intangibles was $367 million, $402 million and $183 million for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 respectively. Of these amounts, $205 million, $227 million and $91 million were included in cost of sales for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 respectively.
Other intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 15 years. As of November 27, 2020, we expect the estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years to be as follows:
