Intangible asset amortization expense was $234.9 million in 2022 ($129.2 million in 2021 and $83.4 million in 2020). Annual amortization expense is estimated to be $234.8 million in 2023, $234.0 million in 2024, $233.0 million in 2025, $230.0 million in 2026 and $226.0 million in 2027.

The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment testing as of the first day of the fourth quarter for each of 2022, 2021 and 2020 and concluded that as of each such date there was no impairment of goodwill for any of its reporting units.

The annual assessment performed in 2022 for the Rebar Fabrication reporting unit used forward-looking projections and included continued positive future cash flows. The fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 34 % in the most recent assessment. Although profitability fluctuates year-to-year, we currently expect the reporting unit to be profitable in 2023. If our assessment of the relevant facts and circumstances changes, or the actual performance of this reporting unit falls short of expected results, non-cash impairment charges may be required. Total goodwill associated with the Rebar Fabrication reporting unit as of December 31, 2022 was $347.6 million. An impairment of goodwill may also lead us to record an impairment of other intangible assets. Total finite-lived intangible assets associated with the Rebar Fabrication reporting unit as of December 31, 2022 was $36.3  million.

There are no significant historical accumulated impairment charges, by segment or in the aggregate, related to goodwill.
