NOTE 5: GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment. The Enterprise Inkjet Systems, Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology and Eastman Business Park segments do not have goodwill and are therefore not presented:

(in millions)	Print Systems			Flexographic Packaging		Software and Solutions		Consumer and Film		Consolidated Total
Balance as of December 31, 2016	$	56		$	20	$	6	$	6	$	88
Impairment		(56	)		—		—		—		(56	)
Balance as of September 30, 2017	$	-		$	20	$	6	$	6	$	32

Gross goodwill and accumulated impairment losses were $96 million and $8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2016 and $96 million and $64 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2017.

The Print Systems segment has two goodwill reporting units: Prepress Solutions and Electrophotographic Printing Solutions. The Software and Solutions segment has two goodwill reporting units: Kodak Technology Solutions and Unified Workflow Solutions. The Consumer and Film segment has two goodwill reporting units: Consumer Products and Motion Picture, Industrial Chemicals and Films. The Flexographic Packaging segment, Enterprise Inkjet Systems segment, Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology segment and Eastman Business Park segment all have one goodwill reporting unit. Goodwill is recorded in the Prepress Solutions, Flexographic Packaging, Unified Workflow Solutions and Consumer Products reporting units.

Given the decline in Kodak’s financial projections for the year and its market capitalization from the last goodwill impairment test (December 31, 2016), Kodak performed an interim goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2017. Kodak utilized the discounted cash flow method and guideline public company method for the reporting units with goodwill. For these reporting units, Kodak selected equal weighting of the guideline public company method and the discounted cash flow method as the valuation approaches produced comparable ranges of fair value. Fair values for the other reporting units were estimated using the discounted cash flow method only.

Based upon the results of Kodak’s September 30, 2017 analysis, Kodak concluded that the Prepress Solutions reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded its fair value and recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment loss of $56 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. No impairment of goodwill was indicated for the other reporting units.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization by major intangible asset category as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:

	September 30, 2017
(in millions)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net		Weighted-Average Amortization Period
Technology-based	$	105	$	60	$	45	6 years
Kodak trade name		40		-		40	Indefinite life
Customer-related		11		6		5	6 years
Other		2		-		2	21 years
Total	$	158	$	66	$	92

	December 31, 2016
(in millions)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net		Weighted-Average Amortization Period
Technology-based	$	122	$	57	$	65	6 years
Kodak trade name		40		-		40	Indefinite life
Customer-related		26		12		14	6 years
Other		2		-		2	21 years
Total	$	190	$	69	$	121

In the third quarter of 2017, due to canceling its copper mesh touch screen program, Kodak wrote off related intangible assets with a gross carrying amount of $33 million and accumulated amortization of $21 million and recorded an impairment charge of $12 million.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $5 million and $4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively, and $14 million and $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2017, Kodak recorded $4 million to adjust the Prosper intangible asset carrying value to the amount that would have been recorded had the Prosper intangible assets been continuously classified as held and used. Refer to Note 10, “Other Operating Expense (Income), net” and Note 21, “Discontinued Operations”.

Estimated future amortization expense related to intangible assets that are currently being amortized as of September 30, 2017, is as follows:

(in millions)
Q4 2017	$	4
2018		12
2019		8
2020		6
2021		4
2022 and thereafter		18
