Goodwill, end of year  $2,628   $
   $2,628   $2,628   $6,756   $9,384 

 

Based on the qualitative analysis performed for the goodwill related to our non-standard auto segment as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2023, we concluded that goodwill was not impaired. We performed a quantitative assessment of the goodwill related to the Westminster acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2023, which is allocated to our commercial segment, and concluded that the goodwill was fully impaired as of December 31, 2023, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $6,756 in the current year. The determination of the fair value of the reporting unit was based on a combination of a market approach that considered benchmark company market multiples, and an income approach that utilized discounted cash flows. Under the income approach, we determined fair value based on the present value of the most recent cash flow projections for the reporting unit as of the date of the analysis and calculated a terminal value utilizing a terminal growth rate. The significant assumptions under this approach include, among others: income projections, new product introductions, customer behavior, competitor pricing, operating expenses, the discount rate, and the terminal growth rate. The cash flows used to determine fair value are dependent on a number of significant management assumptions such as our expectations of future performance and the expected future economic environment, which are partly based upon our historical experience. Our estimates are subject to change given the inherent uncertainty in predicting future results. Additionally, the discount rate and the terminal growth rate are based on our judgment of the rates that would be utilized by a hypothetical market participant.

 

We determined during our reviews that there were no impairments of goodwill for any reporting units during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

We determined during our reviews that there were no impairments of other indefinite-lived intangible assets or finite-lived intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

 

Amortization expense was $455, $472, and $472 during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

 

Other intangible assets that have finite lives, including trade names and distribution networks, are amortized over their useful lives. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated amortization of other intangible assets with finite lives for the next five years in the period ending December 31, 2028, and thereafter is as follows:

 

Year ending December 31,    
2024  $422 
2025   422 
2026   422 
2027   422 
2028   422 
Thereafter   3,401 
Total other intangible assets with finite lives  $5,511
