Non-amortizable intangible assets substantially consist of trademarks from PMI’s acquisitions in Indonesia and Mexico. The decrease since December 31, 2019 was due to currency movements of ($108 million).

The decrease in the gross carrying amount of amortizable intangible assets from December 31, 2019, was mainly due to currency movements of ($40 million).

The change in the accumulated amortization from December 31, 2019, was mainly due to the 2020 amortization of $37 million, partially offset by currency movements of ($19 million).

Amortization expense for each of the next five years is estimated to be $73 million or less, assuming no additional transactions occur that require the amortization of intangible assets.

During the second quarter of 2020, PMI completed its annual review of goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets for potential impairment, and no impairment charges were required as a result of this review.
