[1] As described above, this accelerated amortization relates to the mthree trademark.
[2] The Research segment was previously referred to as Research Publishing & Platforms.
[3] On January 1, 2020, Wiley acquired mthree, a talent placement provider that addresses the IT skills gap by finding, training, and placing job-ready technology talent in roles with leading corporations worldwide. Its results of operations are included in our Education Services segment. In late May 2022, Wiley renamed the mthree talent development solution to Wiley Edge and discontinued use of the mthree trademark during the three months ended July 31, 2022. As a result of these actions, we determined that a revision of the useful life was warranted and the intangible asset was fully amortized over its remaining useful life resulting in accelerated amortization expense of $4.6 million in the three months ended July 31, 2022. This amortization expense was an adjustment to the Education Services Adjusted contribution to profit. In addition, it was included in Depreciation and amortization in the table above for segment reporting.
