During the first quarter of 2016, the Company completed its valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities of the 2015

acquisitions of XE Corporation (“XE”) and IME(M) Sdn Bhd (“IME”), which included an adjustment to goodwill and acquired intangible assets.

Estimated amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives, before income taxes, as of June 30, 2016, is expected to total $12.4 million for the remainder of 2016, $22.9 million for 2017, $20.6 million for 2018, $19.9 million for 2019, $19.3 million for 2020 and $18.3 million for 2021.

The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is performed during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. The annual impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2015 resulted in no impairment charge.

Determining the fair value of reporting units requires significant management judgment in estimating future cash flows and assessing potential market and economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s operations will not perform as expected, or that the estimates or assumptions included in the 2015 annual impairment test could change, which may result in the Company recording material non-cash impairment charges during the year in which these changes take place.
