In connection with the contract renewal during the first quarter of 2016, VF determined that the trademark intangible asset related to the Rock & Republi c® brand has a finite life. Accordingly, we reclassified the $58.1 million trademark balance from indefinite-lived intangible assets to amortizable intangible assets, and commenced amortization of the trademark over its estimated useful life of 16 years. In 2016, VF recorded an impairment charge of $40.3 million to write-off the remaining trademark asset balance for the lucy® brand, which is part of the Outdoor & Action Sports Coalition. VF did not record any impairment charges in 2015 or 2014. Refer to Note T for additional information on the fair value measurements. Amortization expense (excluding impairment charges) for 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $28.4 million, $25.1 million and $29.9 million, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the years 2017 through 2021 is $30.7 million, $30.1 million, $29.4 million, $21.5 million and $20.5 million, respectively.
