Based on the Company’s step one goodwill impairment test, which was performed in the fourth quarter for each of the fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016, the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the reporting unit’s book value and, therefore, goodwill was not impaired.
The increase in goodwill during fiscal year 2018 related primarily to the acquisitions of MPI Research and KWS BioTest in the DSA reportable segment, an immaterial acquisition of an Australian business in the Manufacturing reportable segment, and the impact of foreign exchange.

The increase in intangible assets, net during the fiscal year 2018 related primarily to the acquisitions of MPI Research and KWS BioTest in the DSA reportable segment. During fiscal year 2017, the Company divested the CDMO business, which resulted in a net decrease of $16.8 million and $0.3 million to client relationships and backlog, respectively.
Amortization expense of definite-lived intangible assets, including client relationships, for fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $64.8 million, $41.4 million and $41.7 million, respectively. As of December 29, 2018, estimated amortization expense for intangible assets for each of the next five fiscal years is expected to be as follows:
