GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS | (6) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company's annual impairment testing of goodwill was performed during the third quarter of 2012. As a result of that testing, the Company determined that its goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired, as the valuation of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. The Company continues to monitor changes in the global economy that could impact future operating results of its reporting units. If such conditions arise, the Company will test a given reporting unit for impairment prior to the annual test. Amortized Intangible Assets The components of amortized intangible assets at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:
|  | As of December 29, 2012 |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Weighted Average Life |
Customer Relationships |  | $ | 170,556 |  | $ | 62,957 |  |  | 13 years |
Proprietary Software & Database |  |  | 3,073 |  |  | 2,795 |  |  | 6 years |
Patents & Proprietary Technology |  |  | 9,953 |  |  | 5,517 |  |  | 8 years |
Non-compete Agreements |  |  | 1,807 |  |  | 1,542 |  |  | 6 years |
|  | $ | 185,389 |  | $ | 72,811 |  |  |  |
|  | As of December 31, 2011
--- | --- | ---
|  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Weighted Average Life
Customer Relationships |  | $ | 155,629 |  | $ | 50,107 |  | 13 years
Proprietary Software & Database |  |  | 3,116 |  |  | 2,711 |  | 6 years
Patents & Proprietary Technology |  |  | 9,489 |  |  | 3,863 |  | 8 years
Non-compete Agreements |  |  | 1,812 |  |  | 1,307 |  | 6 years
|  | $ | 170,046 |  | $ | 57,988 |  |
Amortization expense for intangible assets was $14,332, $14,833, and $11,873 for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively. Estimated annual amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets is as follows:
|  | Estimated Amortization Expense |
--- | --- | --- | ---
2013 |  | $ | 14,909 |
2014 |  |  | 14,480 |
2015 |  |  | 13,581 |
2016 |  |  | 13,008 |
2017 |  |  | 12,998 |
The useful lives assigned to finite-lived intangible assets include consideration of factors such as the Company's past and expected experience related to customer retention rates, the remaining legal or contractual life of the underlying arrangement that resulted in the recognition of the intangible asset and the Company's expected use of the intangible asset. Non-amortized intangible assets Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. The carrying values of trade names at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:
|  | December 29, 2012 |  | December 31, 2011 |  | Year Acquired |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Webforge |  | $ | 17,411 |  | $ | 16,659 |  |  | 2010 |
Newmark |  |  | 11,111 |  |  | 11,111 |  |  | 2004 |
Ingal EPS/Ingal Civil Products |  |  | 9,189 |  |  | 8,792 |  |  | 2010 |
Donhad |  |  | 6,932 |  |  | 6,633 |  |  | 2010 |
Pure Metal Galvanizing |  |  | 2,022 |  |  | — |  |  | 2012 |
PiRod |  |  | 1,750 |  |  | 1,750 |  |  | 2001 |
Industrial Galvanizers |  |  | 4,030 |  |  | 3,856 |  |  | 2010 |
Other |  |  | 7,247 |  |  | 7,224 |  |  |  |
|  | $ | 59,692 |  | $ | 56,025 |  |  |  |
The Company's trade names were tested for impairment separately from goodwill in the third quarter of 2012. The values of the trade names were determined using the relief-from-royalty method. The Company determined that the value of its trade names were not impaired. In 2011, the Company determined the PiRod and Industrial Galvanizers of America trade names were impaired. The evaluations of these trade names were completed in the fourth quarter of 2011, which resulted in a write down of $3,779. In its determination of these intangible assets as indefinite-lived, the Company considered such factors as its expected future use of the intangible asset, legal, regulatory, technological and competitive factors that may impact the useful life or value of the intangible asset and the expected costs to maintain the value of the intangible asset. The Company expects that these intangible assets will maintain their value indefinitely. Accordingly, these assets are not amortized. Goodwill The carrying amount of goodwill by segment as of December 29, 2012 was as follows:
|  | Engineered Infrastructure Products Segment |  | Utility Support Structures Segment |  | Coatings Segment |  | Irrigation Segment |  | Other |  | Total |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---

The Company examined the goodwill assigned to its reporting units in the third quarter of 2012 and determined that the goodwill on its consolidated balance sheet at December 29, 2012 was not impaired. The acquisition amount arose from the acquisition of Pure Metal Galvanizing. The carrying amount of goodwill by segment as of December 31, 2011 was as follows:
|  | Engineered Infrastructure Products Segment |  | Utility Support Structures Segment |  | Coatings Segment |  | Irrigation Segment |  | Other |  | Total |

The impairment charge relates to an Irrigation segment retail operation. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company decided to dispose of this operation and, accordingly, all of the goodwill assigned to that operation was written off. The goodwill from acquisitions arose from the acquisition of a Brazilian irrigation monitoring company.
