(1)The year-over-year change in net carrying amount reflects foreign currency translation for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022. As of April 2, 2022, the Company had accumulated impairment charges of $249 million related to the Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets.

Reacquired rights relate to the Company’s reacquisition of the rights to use the Michael Kors trademarks and to import, sell, advertise and promote certain of its products in the previously licensed territories in the Greater China region and are being amortized through March 31, 2041, the expiration date of the former licensing agreement. The trademarks relate to the Michael Kors brand name and are amortized over twenty years. Customer relationships are generally amortized over five to eighteen years. Amortization expense for the Company’s definite-lived intangibles was $49 million, $47 million and $49 million, respectively, for each of the fiscal years ended April 2, 2022, March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill included the Versace and Jimmy Choo brands, which were recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Versace and Jimmy Choo, and have an indefinite life due to being essential to the Company’s ability to operate the Versace and Jimmy Choo businesses for the foreseeable future.

Estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years is as follows (in millions):


Fiscal 2023	$	45
Fiscal 2024	45
Fiscal 2025	45
Fiscal 2026	45
Fiscal 2027	45
Fiscal 2028 and thereafter	384
Total	$	609

The future amortization expense above reflects weighted-average estimated remaining useful lives of nineteen years for reacquired rights, one year for trademarks and eleven years for customer relationships.

(1)The Company recorded impairment charges of $94 million during Fiscal 2021 related to the Jimmy Choo wholesale and licensing reporting units.

The Company’s goodwill and the Versace and Jimmy Choo brands are not subject to amortization but are evaluated for impairment annually in the last quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever impairment indicators exist. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis. The Company performed its goodwill impairment assessment for its Michael Kors reporting units using a qualitative assessment. Based on the results of the Company’s qualitative impairment assessment, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Michael Kors’ reporting units exceeded their carrying value and, therefore, were not impaired.

The Company performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis for both the Versace and Jimmy Choo reporting units, using a combination of income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of each brands’ reporting units. The Company also elected to perform an impairment analysis for both the Versace and Jimmy Choo brand indefinite-lived intangible assets using an income approach to estimate the fair values. Based on the results of these assessments, the Company determined there was no impairment for the Jimmy Choo and Versace reporting units or brand intangible assets, as the fair values of the reporting units and the brand intangible assets exceeded the related carrying amounts.

In Fiscal 2021, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $94 million related to the Jimmy Choo Wholesale and Jimmy Choo Licensing reporting units and impairment charges of $69 million related to the Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets. In Fiscal 2020, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $171 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Jimmy Choo Licensing reporting units and impairment charges of $180 million related to the Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets. The impairment charges were recorded within impairment of assets on our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the fiscal years ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020.
