The decrease in indefinite-lived intangible trademarks / trade names is the result of a $158 impairment charge recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 associated with certain acquired trade names. The remaining net book value of the trade names are reflected in definite-lived trademarks / trade names at September 30, 2016. See Note 4 for additional information.

The aggregate pre-tax amortization expense from continuing operations for definite-lived intangible assets was $46 and $272 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, and $50 and $305 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The estimated aggregate pre-tax amortization expense from continuing operations for the remainder of 2016 and each of the next five years is approximately $58, $207, $208, $211, $193 and $152, respectively.
