Amortization expense for intangible assets for continuing operations was $46.0 million and $48.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $93.1 million and $98.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets for discontinued operations was nil and $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and nil and $41.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization expense was nil for 2019 as the Company ceased amortizing other finite-lived intangible assets relating to businesses which satisfied the criteria to be classified as held for sale during the second quarter of 2018. The Company has historically performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment as of the first day of the third fiscal quarter of each year (July 1). During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company decided to change the date of its annual impairment assessment from July 1 to December 1. The change was made to more closely align the impairment assessment date with the Company’s annual planning and budgeting process as well as its long-term planning and forecasting process. The Company has determined this change in accounting principle is preferable and will not affect the consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to the authoritative accounting literature, in 2019 the Company will perform an impairment assessment as of the first day of its third fiscal quarter of 2019 (July 1) as well as December 1 to ensure that the change in impairment assessment date did not delay or avoid an impairment charge.
