Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company has recorded goodwill as a result of its business combinations. Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the tangible assets and intangible assets acquired net of liabilities assumed, including noncontrolling interests. Changes in goodwill from December 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015 are related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and additions due to an acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2015 as discussed above in Note 2 - Business Combinations. The Company has also recorded other finite and indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of its various business combinations. An acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2015 as discussed above in Note 2 - Business Combinations also led to additions to intangible assets. The Company's intangible assets include facility management contracts, trade names and technology, as follows (in thousands):
|  |  | March 31, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
| Weighted Average Useful Life (years) |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net Carrying Amount |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net Carrying Amount
Facility management contracts | 15.5 |  | $ | 227,750 |  |  | $ | (59,802 | ) |  | $ | 167,948 |  |  | $ | 154,591 |  |  | $ | (56,396 | ) |  | $ | 98,195 |
Technology | 7.0 |  | 24,000 |  |  | (12,977 | ) |  | 11,023 |  |  | 24,000 |  |  | (12,120 | ) |  | 11,880 |
Trade name (Indefinite lived) | Indefinite |  | 45,200 |  |  | — |  |  | 45,200 |  |  | 45,200 |  |  | — |  |  | 45,200 |
Total acquired intangible assets |  |  | $ | 296,950 |  |  | $ | (72,779 | ) |  | $ | 224,171 |  |  | $ | 223,791 |  |  | $ | (68,516 | ) |  | $ | 155,275 |
Amortization expense was $4.3 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Amortization expense was primarily related to the U.S. Corrections & Detention and GEO Care segments' amortization of acquired facility management contracts. As of March 31, 2015, the weighted average period before the next contract renewal or extension for the acquired facility management contracts was approximately 1.8 years. Although the facility management contracts acquired have renewal and extension terms in the near term, the Company has historically maintained these relationships beyond the current contractual periods. The acquired contracts in the acquisition of the LCS Facilities do not have contract expiration dates and are perpetual in nature. Estimated amortization expense related to the Company's finite-lived intangible assets for the remainder of 2015 through 2019 and thereafter is as follows (in thousands):
Fiscal Year |  | Total Amortization Expense
Remainder of 2015 |  | $ | 14,183 |
2016 |  | 18,882 |
2017 |  | 18,850 |
2018 |  | 15,991 |
2019 |  | 15,663 |
Thereafter |  | 95,402 |
|  | $ | 178,971 |
