The aggregate amortization expense for other intangibles with finite lives, ranging from 2 to 68 years, for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $2.2 million, $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Amortization expense is estimated to be $1.8 million for 2023, $1.7 million for 2024, $1.6 million for 2025, and $1.5 million for 2026 and 2027. The weighted-average remaining amortization period is approximately 12.0 years. The weighted-average remaining amortization period by intangible asset class; land use rights, 52.3 years; trademark, 12.4 years; technology, 8.1 years and customer relationships, 10.3 years. Goodwill and other intangible assets are generally recorded as a result of a business acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable net assets acquired during a business combination and is not subject to amortization but is subject to annual impairment testing. Intangible assets with definite lives, consisting primarily of purchased customer relationships, patents, technology, customer backlog, trademarks and land use rights, are generally amortized over periods from 2 to 68 years. The Company’s intangible assets with finite lives are generally amortized over the period in which the economic benefits of the intangibles are consumed, using either a projected cash flow basis method or the straight-line method. The straight-line method is used in circumstances in which it better reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise expire compared to using a projected cash flow basis method. An evaluation of the remaining useful life of intangible assets with a determinable life is performed on a periodic basis and when events and circumstances warrant an evaluation. The Company assesses intangible assets with a determinable life for impairment consistent with its policy for assessing other long-lived assets. Goodwill and intangible assets are also reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently when changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may be impaired, or in the case of finite-lived intangible assets, when the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such events or changes may include, but are not limited to, a significant deterioration in overall economic conditions, changes in the business climate of the Company's industry, overall performance indicators, a decline in the Company's market capitalization, business reorganization or restructuring or disposal of all or part of a reporting unit. Impairment charges are recognized pursuant to FASB ASC 350-20, “Goodwill.” The Company's goodwill is tested for impairment at a level referred to as the reporting unit. The Company may use both quantitative and qualitative approaches when testing goodwill for impairment. For selected reporting units where the qualitative approach is utilized, a qualitative evaluation of events and circumstances impacting the reporting unit is performed to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount. If that determination is made, no further evaluation is necessary. Otherwise, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test on the reporting unit. For the quantitative approach, the Company uses a combination of the income approach, which uses a discounted cash flow methodology, and the market approach, which uses comparable market multiples in computing fair value by reporting unit. The Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value to assess if goodwill has been impaired. The fair value estimates are subjective and sensitive to significant assumptions, such as revenue growth rates, operating margins, the WACC, and estimated market multiples, of which are affected by expectations of future market or economic conditions. The Company believes that the methodologies, significant assumptions, and weightings used are reasonable and result in appropriate fair values of the reporting units. Given the continued decline in the Company’s results in the Asia-Pacific region, the Company's reassessment of future forecasts and the rising interest rate environment, the Company concluded that an indicator of impairment was present and conducted an interim impairment review of its goodwill in the Asia-Pacific reporting unit as of September 30, 2022. The Company reviewed current results and reassessed its previous forecasts for this reporting unit and determined the market headwinds faced in the region, particularly China, would linger for longer than previously expected as the region began to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. The rising interest rate environment was also a factor in the decision to perform an interim impairment assessment, given the related impact to the discounted cash flow calculation. The interim impairment assessment was performed utilizing the same methodologies as the annual assessments discussed above and included revised projections, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including forecasted revenues, expenses and cash flows. Based on the interim impairment assessment, the Asia-Pacific reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded its fair value by more than the carrying amount of goodwill, which was caused by both a reduction in forecasted results and an increase in the weighted average cost of capital due to rising interest rates. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $6.5 million as of September 30, 2022. This charge was identified separately in the consolidated income statement and impacted income from operations. No other goodwill impairment charges have been recorded in recent periods. No other indicators of impairment were identified for the Company’s other reporting units. Total combined goodwill for the remaining reporting units was $28.0 million as shown in the following table:

The 2022 additions to goodwill relate to the anticipated synergies of acquiring Maxxweld Conectores Eletricos Ltda. and Holplast, s.r.o., while the reduction in goodwill in Asia-Pacific is due to the impairment discussed above. See Note 17 for additional information about acquisitions of businesses. Impairment assessments inherently involve management judgments regarding a number of assumptions such as those described above. Due to the multiple variables inherent in arriving at the estimates of the reporting unit's fair value, differences in assumptions could have an effect on the estimated fair value of a reporting unit and could result in goodwill impairment charges in a future period. The Company’s only intangible asset with an indefinite life is goodwill. The Company’s goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
