Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. If the carrying amount of goodwill or an intangible asset with an indefinite life exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in the amount equal to the excess.

The amounts of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were as follows (in millions):



	Goodwill											Indefinite-Lived Assets – Trade Names
	North America			Latin America		Africa/Asia Pacific			Total			North America			Europe		Total
Balance, December 31, 2015	$	16.5		$	3.9	$	1.8		$	22.2		$	0.3		$	0.4	$	0.7

Balance, September 30, 2016	$	8.3		$	3.9	$	—		$	12.2		$	0.4		$	0.4	$	0.8

The amounts of other intangible assets, excluding capitalized software, were as follows (in millions):



	September 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Amortized intangible assets:
Amortized intangible assets	$	108.9		$	129.4
Accumulated amortization	(83.1		)	(87.9		)
Foreign currency translation adjustment	(5.2		)	(5.6		)
Amortized intangible assets, net	$	20.6		$	35.9

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $7.4 million and an impairment charge on the amortized intangible assets of $4.7 million related to the automotive business. Refer to Note 4 - Restructuring for further details.

Amortized intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Other intangible assets have been determined to have a useful life in the range of 7 to 12 years. The approximate weighted average useful life of the amortized intangible assets is 10 years. For customer relationships, the Company has accelerated the amortization expense to align with the historical customer attrition rates. All other amortized intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. The amortization of intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and October 2, 2015 was $6.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively. The estimated amortization expense during the twelve month periods beginning September 30, 2016 through October 1, 2021 and thereafter, based on exchange rates as of September 30, 2016, is $5.7 million, $3.4 million, $2.8 million, $2.8 million, $2.7 million and $3.2 million thereafter.

The Company capitalizes costs for internal use software incurred during the application development stage. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software will be amortized once the product is ready for its intended use, using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is three years.
