The useful life of intangible assets reflects the period the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Intangible assets are amortized over the useful lives of the assets utilizing the straight-line method, which is materially consistent with the pattern in which the expected benefits will be consumed, calculated using undiscounted cash flows.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, amortization expense of $90,000 and $0.3 million, respectively, was recorded to “cost of revenue” and $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, was recorded to “selling, general and administrative.” For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, amortization expense of $88,000 and $148,000, respectively, was recorded to “cost of revenue” and $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was recorded to “selling, general and administrative.” Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2018 is $0.3 million. Estimated amortization expense for the years 2019 through 2022 is $1.2 million each year. The expected amortization expense is an estimate and actual amounts could differ due to additional intangible asset acquisitions, changes in foreign currency rates or impairment of intangible assets.
