Net of $4.8 million of accumulated goodwill impairment losses.

 

Intangible assets consist of reacquired franchise rights. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the intangible assets at December 25, 2018 were $15.4 million and $13.4 million, respectively. As of December 26, 2017, the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the intangible assets was $15.4 million and $12.7 million. We amortize reacquired franchise rights on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the franchise operating agreements, which varies by restaurant.  Amortization expense for the next five years is expected to range from $0.2 million to $0.7 million. Refer to note 4 for discussion of the acquisitions completed for the years ended December 25, 2018 and December 26, 2017.
