(1) DSA includes accumulated impairment losses of $1 billion, which were recognized in fiscal years 2008 and 2010.
(2) Manufacturing includes an accumulated impairment loss of $215 million, which was recognized in fiscal year 2024.
As of the beginning of fiscal 2025, the Company has combined the Discovery Services and Safety Assessment reporting units into a single reporting unit consistent with recent changes to the DSA integrated operating structure.
The increase in goodwill during the three months ended March 29, 2025 is primarily related to the effect of foreign exchange; partially offset by a divestiture of a site in the DSA reportable segment.

The decrease in intangible assets for the three months ended March 29, 2025 related primarily to the accelerated amortization of certain CDMO client relationships in the Biologics Solutions reporting unit, normal amortization over the useful lives, and a divestiture of a site in the DSA reportable segment.
Amortization expense of definite-lived intangible assets for three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 was $65.3 million and $32.6 million, respectively. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 29, 2025 includes $35.5 million of accelerated amortization expense as a result of a decrease in the remaining useful life of certain client relationships due to a loss of key customers in 2025 which was identified in fiscal year 2024.
