The useful life of the customer relationships was determined to be 10 to 26 years, based primarily on the consistent and predictable revenue source associated with the existing customer base, the present value of which extends through the amortization period. The useful life of the non-compete agreements was determined to be the length of the non-compete agreements, which range from one to five years. The useful life of the technology and know-how was determined to be 10 to 15 years. The useful life of the trade names was determined to be indefinite primarily due to their history and reputation in the marketplace, the Company’s expectation that the trade names will continue to be used, and the conclusion that there are currently no other factors identified that would limit their useful life. The Company will continue to evaluate the useful life assigned to its amortizable customer relationships and noncompete agreements in future periods. During 2023 a quantitative test was performed for goodwill and the other indefinitely lived intangible assets and no indication of impairment was identified. During 2022, a qualitative test was performed for goodwill and the other indefinitely lived intangible assets and no indication of impairment was identified. The Company estimates that amortization expense for its intangible assets subject to amortization will be approximately $4.2 million per year for the next two years, $3.7 million for the next year, $3.3 million for the next year, $3.0 million for the next year and then $2.2 million per year thereafter.
