During the second half of the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company initiated a strategy to transition the majority of its chronic condition management Clients and members to the Teladoc Health brand on a phased basis, with a smaller subset continuing to be served under the Livongo trade name beyond 2024. In connection with the brand strategy, the Company accelerated the amortization of intangible assets that are associated with the Livongo trademark, increasing amortization of intangible assets expense beginning in the second half of the year ended December 31, 2023 and continuing through the year ended December 31, 2024, with corresponding reductions thereafter.

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company initiated a strategy to transition the remainder of its chronic condition management Clients and members to the Teladoc Health brand by December 31, 2026. In connection with the brand strategy, the Company has decreased the remaining useful life of the related trademarks asset, which increased amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 by $7.7 million, or $0.04 per share, and will increase amortization expense for the year ending December 31, 2026 by $30.7 million.
Periodic amortization of intangible assets that will be charged to expense over the remaining life of the intangible assets as of December 31, 2025 was as follows (in thousands):

Refer to Note 7. “Goodwill” for the results of impairment testing of the Company’s intangible assets, including goodwill.

Net cloud computing costs, which are primarily related to the implementation of the Company's customer relationship management (“CRM”) and enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems, are recorded in “Other assets” within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, those costs were $45.4 million and $44.8 million, respectively. The associated expense for cloud computing costs, which is recorded in general and administration expense, was $8.4 million and $5.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The capitalized cloud computing implementation costs are amortized over the shorter of the term of the related cloud computing arrangement or the period of benefit from the right to access the hosted software. The amortization period will be periodically reassessed to determine if it continues to be reasonable.
