The Company recorded amortization expense within Intangible amortization and impairments in the Consolidated Statements of Income for these relationships of $20.6 million and $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Based on relationships existing as of March 31, 2021, the Company estimates that its consolidated amortization expense will be approximately $23 million for the remainder of 2021, approximately $30 million in each of 2022 and 2023, approximately $20 million in each of 2024 and 2025, and approximately $10 million in 2026.

As of March 31, 2021, no impairments of indefinite-lived acquired client relationships were indicated.
