Goodwill of $895.5 million as of 2016 year end includes, on a preliminary basis, $131.3 million of non-tax-deductible goodwill from the 2016 acquisitions of Car-O-Liner and Sturtevant Richmont. The preliminary goodwill from Car-O-Liner of $128.1 million as of 2016 year end is distributed as follows: $125.6 million in the Repair Systems & Information Group and $2.5 million in the Commercial & Industrial Group. The preliminary goodwill from Sturtevant Richmont of $3.2 million as of 2016 year end is included in the Commercial & Industrial Group. The preliminary purchase prices for the Car-O-Liner and Sturtevant Richmont acquisitions are subject to the finalization of working capital adjustments that are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2017. See Note 2 for additional information on acquisitions. As the purchase accounting valuations for the acquired net assets of Car-O-Liner were not complete as of December 31, 2016, the allocation of the purchase price, and resulting goodwill, has been prepared on a preliminary basis and changes to the allocations will occur as fair value estimates of the acquired net assets, including intangible assets, are determined. Additional disclosures related to other intangible assets as of 2016 and 2015 year end are as follows:
|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
(Amounts in millions) |  | Gross Carrying Value |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |  |  | Gross Carrying Value |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |

The gross carrying value of non-amortized trademarks as of 2016 year end includes $3.7 million related to the Sturtevant Richmont acquisition. Significant and unanticipated changes in circumstances, such as declines in profitability and cash flow due to significant and long-term deterioration in macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, the loss of key customers, changes in technology or markets, significant changes in key personnel or litigation, a significant and sustained decrease in share price and/or other events, including effects from the sale or disposal of a reporting unit, could require a provision for impairment of goodwill and/or other intangible assets in a future period. As of 2016 year end, the company had no accumulated impairment losses. The weighted-average amortization periods related to other intangible assets are as follows:
|  | In Years
Customer relationships |  | 15
Internally developed software |  | 3
Patents |  | 8
Trademarks |  | 6
Other |  | 39
Snap-on is amortizing its customer relationships on both an accelerated and straight-line basis over a 15 year weighted-average life; the remaining intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis. The weighted-average amortization period for all amortizable intangibles on a combined basis is 11 years. The company’s customer relationships generally have contractual terms of three to five years and are typically renewed without significant cost to the company. The weighted-average 15 year life for customer relationships is based on the company’s historical renewal experience. Intangible asset renewal costs are expensed as incurred. The aggregate amortization expense was $24.2 million in 2016 and $24.7 million in both 2015 and 2014. Based on current levels of amortizable intangible assets and estimated weighted-average useful lives, estimated annual amortization expense is expected to be $23.2 million in 2017, $20.8 million in 2018, $17.5 million in 2019, $13.9 million in 2020, and $12.2 million in 2021.
