Intangible assets related to our acquisitions are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. The change in intangible assets during the year ended January 31, 2020 is primarily due to the acquisitions of Visual Compliance, CORE, STEPcom and BestTransport, partially offset by amortization. The balance of the change in intangible assets is due to foreign currency translation. Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized into income over their useful lives. Amortization expense for existing intangible assets is expected to be $257.0 million over the following periods: $52.7 million for 2021, $48.3 million for 2022, $40.7 million for 2023, $28.9 million for 2024, $25.9 million for 2025 and $60.5 million thereafter. Expected future amortization expense is subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and assumes no future adjustments to acquired intangible assets.
