Amortization expense of other intangible assets was $316.4 and $262.1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. An evaluation of the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is required to be performed on an annual basis and on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. In the first quarter of 2020, changes in facts and circumstances and general market declines from the coronavirus global pandemic (COVID-19) resulted in reduced expectations of near term future operating results. The Company considered these circumstances and the potential long-term impact on revenues and cash flows associated with its trade names and reporting units and determined that an indicator of possible impairment did not exist. While we have concluded that a triggering event did not occur during the first nine months of 2020, a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic could further impact market conditions and expectations of future operating results. The Company will perform the annual analysis during the fourth quarter of 2020.
