In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recognized impairment charges totaling $24.9 million on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. Specifically, the Company's impairment analysis resulted in impairment charges of $19.6 million on goodwill at our SpeeCo reporting unit and $3.2 million on our PBL reporting unit. Through March 31, 2014, these are the only impairments of goodwill recognized by the Company. In addition, impairment charges totaling $2.1 million were recognized on the Carlton and SpeeCo trade name intangible assets. Determining the fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets is a complex process involving the projection of future expected cash flows and then discounting those projected cash flows to present value. The process involves numerous significant assumptions about future events and is highly judgmental in nature. Certain of the Company's goodwill reporting units have limited amounts of headroom or excess of estimated fair value over the recorded values of their net assets. Certain of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets have limited amounts of headroom or excess of estimated fair value over the recorded values. Significant adverse developments or changes in assumptions related to these goodwill reporting units or other intangible assets could result in additional impairment charges being recognized in the future. See additional information regarding the annual impairment analysis of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Amortization expense for these intangible assets, included in cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was as follows:
