2021 Goodwill Activity The goodwill acquired in U.S. Domestic Package and Supply Chain Solutions related to our October 2021 acquisition of Roadie. The purchase price allocation for acquired businesses may be modified for up to one year from the date of acquisition if additional facts or circumstances lead to changes in our preliminary purchase accounting estimates. See note 9 for further discussion of business acquisitions. The remaining change in goodwill for both Supply Chain Solutions and International Package was attributable to the impact of changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar on the translation of non-U.S. Dollar goodwill balances. 2020 Goodwill Activity As of December 31, 2020 we classified our UPS Freight reporting unit as held for sale, which resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of $494 million within Supply Chain Solutions. The remaining change in goodwill for both Supply Chain Solutions and International Package was due to immaterial purchase accounting adjustments and the impact of changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar on the translation of non-U.S. Dollar goodwill balances. Goodwill Impairment We did not record any impairments of goodwill during 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we determined that our UPS Freight reporting unit should be classified as held for sale. Accordingly, we tested goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2020, and determined that the fair value of the reporting unit had decreased. For the year ended December 31, 2020, a goodwill impairment charge of $494 million, representing the remaining goodwill balance for UPS Freight, is included within Other expenses in the statements of consolidated income. We did not record any goodwill impairments during 2019. Cumulatively, we have recorded $1.1 billion of goodwill impairment charges in Supply Chain Solutions, while our International and U.S. Domestic Package segments have not recorded any goodwill impairment charges.

A trade name and licenses with carrying values of $200 and $4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021 are deemed to be indefinite-lived intangible assets, and therefore are not amortized. Impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets are performed annually. Our annual impairment test as of July 1, 2021 indicated that the fair value of the trade name, which is associated with our truckload brokerage business, remained greater than its carrying value, but that the excess was less than 10 percent. There were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate the carrying amount of our indefinite-lived intangible assets may have been impaired as of December 31, 2021. All of our other recorded intangible assets are deemed to be finite-lived intangibles, and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Impairment tests for these intangible assets are only performed when a triggering event occurs that may indicate that the carrying value of the intangible may not be recoverable. Impairments of finite-lived intangible assets were $19, $13, and $2 million in 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets was $475, $416 and $377 million in each of 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Expected amortization of finite-lived intangible assets recorded as of December 31, 2021 for the next five years is as follows (in millions): 2022—$540; 2023—$472; 2024—$392; 2025—$314; 2026—$222. Amortization expense in future periods will be affected by business acquisitions and divestitures, software development, licensing agreements, purchase of development areas or similar franchise rights and other factors.
