After the acquisition of Xcerra on
October 1, 2018
we report in
two
segments, Semiconductor Test & Inspection and PCB Test. Prior year amounts would have been reported in our Semiconductor Test & Inspection segment and have been presented accordingly.

The table above excludes
$36.3
million of in-process technology which has an indefinite life and is subject to impairment or future amortization as developed technology when the projects are completed.  Changes in the carrying values of purchased intangible assets presented above are a result of the impact of fluctuation in currency exchange rates.
 
Amortization expense related to purchased intangible assets was approximately
$17.2
 million in
2018,
$4.2
 million in
2017
and
$6.9
 million in
2016.
  The increase in amortization expense in the current year is the result of amortization of assets acquired in the Xcerra transaction.  The decrease in
2017
is a result of certain intangible assets that became fully amortized in
2016.
  As of
December 29, 2018,
we expect amortization expense in future periods to be as follows:
2019
-
$38.9
 million;
2020
-
$37.1
 million;
2021
-
$33.8
 million;
2022
-
$33.7
 million
2023
-
$33.4
 million; and thereafter
$105.8
 million.
