(B)    In the third quarter of 2023, we acquired Sauna360 and during the third quarter of 2024, we recognized $2 million of goodwill in our Plumbing Products segment related to this acquisition (refer to Note B for additional information). In the second quarter of 2024, we recognized $4 million of goodwill in our Decorative Architectural Products segment related to an immaterial acquisition.
Other indefinite-lived intangible assets were $79 million and $108 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and principally included registered trademarks.
We completed our annual impairment testing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarters of 2024, 2023 and 2022. We recognized a $15 million non-cash impairment charge within our Decorative Architectural Products segment to other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to competitive market conditions and increased cost of capital in our lighting business. We recognized a $19 million and $7 million non-cash impairment charge within our Decorative Architectural Products segment to goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2022 due to competitive market conditions, higher inflationary costs and increased cost of capital in our lighting business. There was no impairment of goodwill for any of our reporting units or of our other indefinite-lived intangible assets in any of these years, other than as disclosed above.
The carrying value of our definite-lived intangible assets was $140 million (net of accumulated amortization of $102 million) at December 31, 2024 and $269 million (net of accumulated amortization of $120 million) at December 31, 2023 and principally included customer relationships with a weighted average amortization period of 13 years in 2024 and 16 years in 2023. Amortization expense related to the definite-lived intangible assets was $29 million, $31 million and $29 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
At December 31, 2024, amortization expense related to the definite-lived intangible assets during each of the next five years will be as follows: 2025 – $19 million; 2026 – $18 million; 2027 – $17 million; 2028 – $14 million and 2029 – $14 million.
The decrease in our indefinite-lived intangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets is primarily a result of the divestiture of Kichler.
