Intangible amortization expense amounted to $10.7 and $7.6 for the first three months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company estimates that intangible amortization expense will be approximately $40.0 in 2015 and approximately $38.0 in each of the next five years.

The carrying amount of goodwill as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, is as follows:

	Consumer		Consumer		Specialty
	Domestic		International		Products		Total
Balance at December 31, 2014	$	1,242.2	$	62.6	$	20.2	$	1,325.0

Balance at March 31, 2015	$	1,242.2	$	62.6	$	49.8	$	1,354.6

The 2015 increase in goodwill and amortizable assets is due to the VI-COR Acquisition, which is deductible for U.S. tax purposes.
