Provisions for impairment of goodwill and/or other intangible assets could arise in a future period due to significant and unanticipated changes in circumstances, such as declines in profitability and cash flow due to long-term deterioration in macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, the loss of key customers, changes in technology or markets, changes in key personnel or litigation, a sustained decrease in share price and/or other events. As of 2025 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  14
Developed technology  5
Internally developed software  5
Patents  15
Trademarks  9
Other  50
The weighted-average amortization period for all amortizable intangible assets on a combined basis is 11 years. Intangible asset renewal costs are expensed as incurred.
The aggregate amortization expense was $22.7 million in 2025, $25.3 million in 2024 and $27.1 million in 2023. Based on current levels of amortizable intangible assets and estimated weighted-average useful lives, estimated annual amortization expense is expected to be $18.5 million in 2026, $16.0 million in 2027, $13.2 million in 2028, $10.8 million in 2029, and $9.8 million in 2030.
