Goodwill acquired during 2021 primarily relates to the acquisitions of: (i) Tango Telecom Limited; (ii) Kitewheel, LLC; (iii) Keydok, LLC; and (iv) DGIT Systems Pty Ltd, as well as the additional investment in MobileCard Holdings, LLC. See Note 7 for discussion regarding these acquisitions.

The adjustments during 2022 related to prior acquisitions are primarily a result of the finalization of the purchase accounting for MobileCard Holdings, LLC and DGIT Systems Pty Ltd. See Notes 7 and 8 for further discussion, to include management's decision to dissolve the MobileCard business resulting in the impairment charge recorded above.

Other Intangible Assets. Our other intangible assets subject to ongoing amortization consist of acquired customer contracts and software.

(1)
Acquired customer contracts represent assets acquired in our prior business acquisitions. Acquired customer contracts are amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from one to twenty years based on the approximate pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be realized, with the amortization expense included as cost of revenue in our Income Statements.

 

The remaining weighted-average amortization period of the acquired customer contract as of December 31, 2022 was approximately 81 months. Based on the net carrying value of these acquired customer contracts, the estimated amortization for each of the five succeeding fiscal years ending December 31 will be: 2023 – $9.7 million; 2024 – $8.5 million; 2025 – $7.7 million; 2026 – $5.9 million; and 2027 – $3.1 million.

 

Software. Software consists of: (i) software and similar intellectual property rights from various business acquisitions; and (ii) internal use software. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying values of our software assets were as follows (in thousands):

Acquired software represents software intangible assets acquired in our prior business acquisitions, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from four to eight years. The amortization of acquired software is reflected as a cost of revenue in our Income Statements.
(3)
Internal use software represents: (i) third-party software licenses; and (ii) the internal and external costs related to the implementation of the third-party software licenses. Internal use software is amortized over its estimated useful life ranging from one to ten years.

The remaining weighted-average amortization period of the software intangible assets as of December 31, 2022 was approximately 30 months. Based on the net carrying value of these intangible assets, the estimated amortization for each of the four succeeding fiscal years ending December 31 will be: 2023 – $12.3 million; 2024 – $5.2 million; 2025 – $3.5 million; and 2026 – $1.8 million; with the software intangible assets being fully amortized by the end of 2026.

Customer contract incentives consist principally of incentives provided to new or existing customers to convert their customer accounts to, or retain their customer accounts on, our solutions. Customer contract incentives are amortized ratably over the contract period to include renewal periods, if applicable, which as of December 31, 2022, have termination dates that range from 2024 to 2026. The amortization of customer contract incentives is reflected as a reduction of revenue in our Income Statements.
(5)
Capitalized costs are related to: (i) customer conversion/set-up activities; and (ii) direct material costs to fulfill long-term revenue management solutions and managed services arrangements. These costs are amortized over the contract period based on the transfer of goods or services to which the assets relate, which as of December 31, 2022, range from 2023 to 2036, and are included in cost of revenue in our Income Statements.
(6)
Capitalized commission fees are incremental commissions paid as a result of obtaining a customer contract. These fees are amortized over the contract period based on the transfer of goods or services to which the assets relate, which as of December 31, 2022, range from 2023 to 2028, and are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in our Income Statements. Incremental commission fees incurred as a result of obtaining a customer contract are expensed when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.
