(1) Primarily currency translation adjustments and purchase price allocation-related adjustments. In connection with our annual impairment testing of goodwill conducted in the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded an impairment charge o f $36 million for all of the goodwill attributable to our FedEx Dataworks, Inc. (“FedEx Dataworks”) reporting unit. The key factors contributing to the goodwill impairment were underperformance of the ShopRunner business during 2023, including base business erosion, and the failure to attain the level of operating synergies and revenue and profit growth anticipated at the time of acquisition. Based on these factors, our outlook for the business changed in the fourth quarter of 2023. Our other reporting units with significant recorded goodwill include FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, and FedEx Freight. We evaluated these reporting units during the fourth quarters of 2023 and 2022 and the estimated fair value of each of these reporting units exceeded their carrying values as of the end of 2023 and 2022; therefore, we do not believe that any of these reporting units were impaired as of the balance sheet dates. OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. The summary of our intangible assets and related accumulated amortization at May 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows (in millions):
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $52 million in 2023, $52 million in 2022, and $49 million in 2021. Expected amortization expense for the next five years is as follows (in millions):
