(1)At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the gross carrying amount for customer relationships and trade names includes cumulative impairment charges of $49 million and $1 million, respectively, which were recorded in 2021.

Our customer relationships and trade names are being amortized over a weighted-average life of approximately 20 years. Amortization expense of our identifiable intangible assets was $1 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of our intangible assets are also impacted by the effect of exchange rate changes. Total estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2022 is $3 million and for each of the fiscal years 2023-2027 is $4 million.

In the first quarter of 2022, we concluded that the continued impacts of the U.K. energy crisis, including higher natural gas prices due in part to recent geopolitical events, triggered an impairment test of the long-lived assets in our U.K. asset groups. This test indicated that no long-lived asset impairment existed as the undiscounted estimated future cash flows were in excess of the carrying values for each of the U.K. asset groups. See Note 5—United Kingdom Energy Crisis and Impairment Charges for additional information. Long-lived assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 include approximately $400 million, $25 million of which consists of customer relationships and trade names, related to the U.K. asset groups.
