In-process R&D represents the fair value of incomplete research and development that has not yet reached technological feasibility. Per discussion below, this balance has been written off as a result of the impairment analyses performed during the second and fourth quarters of the year ended December 31, 2022.

Impairment expense for both finite and indefinite-lived intangible assets was $110.4 million, zero, and zero for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets was $9.7 million, $8.2 million, and $3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the Company expects to record the following amortization expense:

(In thousands)
For the Years Ending December 31,	Estimated Amortization Expense
2023	$	5,431
2024		4,606
2025		4,434
2026		4,136
2027		3,382

Impairment testing as of June 30, 2022

In the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company experienced a significant decline in its market capitalization. In July 2022, the Company abandoned an in-process research and development project within the asset group acquired in the acquisition of Global Cooling and revised its forecasts for net income and net cash flows to be generated by that asset group. The Company determined that these three events constituted interim triggering events that required further analysis with respect to potential impairment to goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles, and definite-lived intangibles. The Company performed an interim quantitative impairment test as of the June 30, 2022 balance sheet date.

To assess any potential impairment of goodwill, the Company compared the carrying value of its single reporting unit against its market capitalization, noting that the market capitalization exceeded the carrying value. As such, goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2022.

The abandonment of the aforementioned in-process research and development project resulted in an $8.0 million non-cash impairment charge during the three months ended June 30, 2022 in the line item Intangible asset impairment charges in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, which represents the entirety of the asset’s carrying value.

In order to determine the fair value of our in-process research and development intangible assets not related to the abandoned project, the Company utilized an average of a discounted cash flow analysis and comparable public company analysis. The key assumptions associated with determining the estimated fair value include projected future revenue growth rates, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margins, the terminal growth rate, and the discount rate. As a result of the changes in these assumptions, we recognized a $50.9 million non-cash impairment charge during the three months ended June 30, 2022 in the line item Intangible asset impairment charges in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, which represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s in-process research and development intangible assets and their carrying value.

In order to determine the fair value of the acquired technology, customer relationships, tradename, and non-compete definite-lived intangible assets, the Company utilized the excess earnings approach, distributor method, relief from royalty method, and with and without approach, respectively. The key assumptions associated with determining the estimated fair value include (i) the amount and timing of projected future cash flows (including revenue and expenses), (ii) the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows, (iii) the assessment of the asset’s life cycle, and (iv) the competitive trends impacting the asset. As a result of the analysis, we recognized non-cash impairment charges of $3.5 million, $1.5 million, $5.9 million, and $4,000 during the period ended June 30, 2022 for the acquired technology, customer relationships, tradename, and non-compete definite-lived intangible assets, respectively, in the line item Intangible asset impairment charges in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, which represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s definite-lived intangible assets and their carrying values.

Impairment Testing as of October 1, 2022

The Company annually performs an impairment assessment as of October 1. To assess any potential impairment of goodwill, the Company compared the carrying value of its single reporting unit against its market capitalization, noting that the market capitalization exceeded the carrying value. As such, goodwill was not impaired as of October 1, 2022.

In order to determine the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired from Global Cooling, which included an in-process research and development project, the Company utilized a discounted cash flow analysis. The key assumptions associated with determining the estimated fair value include projected future revenue growth rates, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margins, the terminal growth rate, and the discount rate. As a result of the changes in these assumptions, we recognized a $8.5 million non-cash impairment charge during the year-ended December 31, 2022 in the line item Intangible asset impairment charges in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, which represents full impairment of the carrying value of the Company’s in-process research and development intangible asset as of October 1, 2022.

In order to determine the fair value of the acquired technology, customer relationships, tradename, and non-compete definite-lived intangible assets acquired from Global Cooling, the Company utilized the excess earnings approach, distributor method, relief from royalty method, and with and without approach, respectively. The key assumptions associated with determining the estimated fair value include (i) the amount and timing of projected future cash flows (including revenue and expenses), (ii) the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows, (iii) the assessment of the asset’s life cycle, and (iv) the competitive trends impacting the asset. These assumptions differed from those incorporated into the forecasts during impairment testing as of June 30, 2022 in through the areas of (i) estimated market growth, (ii) estimated market share capture, (iii) product profitability, and (iv) development costs. As a result of the analysis, we recognized non-cash impairment charges of $10.5 million, $4.7 million, $15.9 million, and $800,000 during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2022 for the acquired technology, customer relationships, tradename, and non-compete definite-lived intangible assets, respectively, in the line item Intangible asset impairment charges in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, which represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s definite-lived intangible assets and their carrying values. The carrying value of the acquired technology, customer relationships, tradename, and non-compete definite-lived intangible assets were $38.4 million, $16.0 million, $29.6 million, and $2.0 million respectively prior to the impairment charges.

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates and market factors. Estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit, indefinite-lived intangible assets, and definite-lived intangible assets requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry, economic, and regulatory conditions. These assumptions and estimates include projected future revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, terminal growth rates, discount rates, royalty rates and other market factors. If current expectations of future growth rates, margins and cash flows are not met, or if market factors outside of our control change significantly, then our reporting unit, indefinite-lived intangible assets, and definite-lived intangible assets might become impaired in the future, negatively impacting our operating results and financial position. As the carrying amounts of the Company’s indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangible assets were impaired as of June 30, 2022 and October 1, 2022 and written down to fair value, those amounts are more susceptible to an impairment risk if there are unfavorable changes in assumptions and estimates.
