During 2023, the Company recorded $460.9 million of gross identifiable intangible assets identified in connection with the Validus Acquisition. See “Note 3. Acquisition of Validus” for additional information regarding the Validus Acquisition.
The Company recorded amortization expense of $57.6 million and an impairment loss of $13.8 million related to other intangible assets during 2024 (2023 - $13.6 million and $Nil, respectively).
In accordance with the Company’s established accounting policy, the Company reviewed its finite lived intangible assets for indicators of impairment throughout 2024, testing for impairment as appropriate. During 2024, the Company amalgamated and merged certain Validus Re entities into the Company. As a result of management’s review and analysis, it was determined that certain licenses associated with these entities were either cancelled upon amalgamation or merger, or that there was no new business written using these licenses in 2024, and no new business would be incepting using these licenses on a go forward basis. Accordingly, and in connection with the Company’s impairment testing performed, it was determined that the licenses associated with these acquired Validus entities, which was initially reflected as an indefinite lived intangible asset of $13.9 million at the time of the acquisition of Validus, should be written down to $Nil. The Company recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $13.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.
In performing the impairment assessment, the Company first assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Based on its qualitative assessment, the Company determined it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill and other intangible assets in question were less than their respective carrying amounts. The qualitative assessment included the following factors which the Company determined had not significantly deteriorated given specific facts and circumstances: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market conditions; costs factors; and overall financial performance. Other than the intangible assets impaired as noted above, and normal course amortization of intangible assets, in accordance with the Company’s established accounting policy, there were no adjustments to carried goodwill and other intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2024.
The remaining useful life of intangible assets with finite lives ranges from 0.2 to 13.8 years, with a weighted-average amortization period of 12.7 years. Expected amortization of the other intangible assets, including other intangible assets recorded in investments in other ventures, under equity method, is shown below:
