Indefinite lived intangible assets - Carrying value

	December 31,		December 31,
	2016		2015
Trade names	$	860.5	$	860.0

The increase in indefinite lived intangible assets is due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

In 2014, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $5.0 for an intangible asset related to the Consumer Domestic segment. This charge is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in this segment and was the result of reduced sales and profitability related to the product line. The amount of the charge was determined from estimating that future cash flows would not be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the asset.

The Company determined that the carrying value of all trade names as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, was recoverable based upon the forecasted cash flows and profitability of the brands. The Company continues to monitor performance and should there be any significant change in forecasted assumptions or estimates, including sales, profitability and discount rate, the Company may be required to recognize an impairment charge.

Intangible amortization expense amounted to approximately $46.0 for 2016, $39.9 for 2015 and $31.7 for 2014, respectively. The Company estimates that intangible amortization expense will be approximately $49.0 in 2017 and approximately $40.0 to $50.0 annually over the next five years.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

	Consumer			Consumer			Specialty
	Domestic			International			Products		Total
Balance at December 31, 2014	$	1,242.2		$	62.6		$	20.2	$	1,325.0
VI-COR acquired goodwill		0.0			0.0			29.9		29.9
Balance at December 31, 2015	$	1,242.2		$	62.6		$	50.1	$	1,354.9
Toppik acquired goodwill		38.7			13.6			0.0		52.3
Anusol acquired goodwill		0.0			37.8			0.0		37.8
Other		(0.8	)		(0.1	)		0.0		(0.9	)
Balance at December 31, 2016	$	1,280.1		$	113.9		$	50.1	$	1,444.1

The result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test, performed in the beginning of the second quarter of 2016, determined that the estimated fair value substantially exceeded the carrying values of all reporting units. The determination of fair value contains numerous variables that are subject to change as business conditions change and therefore could impact fair value in the future. The Company has never incurred a goodwill impairment charge.
