Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Other Intangible AssetsIn connection with the acquisition of Cedar Creek, we acquired certain intangible assets. As of September 26, 2020, our intangible assets consist of goodwill and other intangible assets including customer relationships, noncompete agreements, and trade names.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets (including customer relationships, noncompete agreements, and trade names) acquired, and liabilities assumed, under acquisition accounting for business combinations. As of September 26, 2020, goodwill was $47.8 million.

Goodwill is not subject to amortization but must be tested for impairment at least annually. This test requires us to assign goodwill to a reporting unit and to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount. We evaluate goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. In addition, we will evaluate the carrying value for impairment between annual impairment tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Such events and indicators may include, without limitation, significant declines in the industries in which our products are used, significant changes in capital market conditions, and significant changes in our market capitalization. Our one reporting unit has a fair value that exceeds its book value as of September 26, 2020.

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

On September 26, 2020, the gross carrying amounts, accumulated amortization, and net carrying amounts of our definite-lived intangible assets were as follows:


	Gross carrying amounts		Accumulated Amortization		(1)	Net carrying amounts
	(In thousands)
Customer relationships	$	25,500	$	(9,131)		$	16,369
Noncompete agreements	8,254		(5,079)			3,175
Trade names	6,826		(5,601)			1,225
Total	$	40,580	$	(19,811)		$	20,769

(1) Intangible assets, except customer relationships, are amortized on a straight-line basis. Customer relationships are amortized on a double declining balance method.

Amortization Expense

The weighted average estimated useful life remaining for customer relationships, noncompete agreements, and trade names is approximately 10 years, 2 years, and 1 year, respectively. Amortization expense for the definite-lived intangible assets was $1.8 million and $5.6 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 26, 2020, respectively. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2019, amortization expense was $2.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively.

Estimated amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets for the remaining portion of 2020 and the next five fiscal years is as follows:
