Annual amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is estimated to be approximately $10.0 million per year. The weighted average life of the intangible assets subject to amortization was 20 years at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Gross and net carrying amounts of intangible assets subject to amortization at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:



	December 31, 2016							December 31, 2015
	Gross		Accumulated Amortization			Net		Gross		Accumulated Amortization			Net

The Company assessed the Applebee's tradename for impairment in accordance with its policy described in Note 2. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of the Applebee's tradename and concluded the fair value exceeded the carrying amount. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company performed a qualitative test of the Applebee's tradename and concluded it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value exceeded the carrying amount. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company performed a quantitative test of the Applebee's tradename and concluded the fair value exceeded the carrying amount.

There were no impairments recorded resulting from these assessments in 2016, 2015 or 2014. The Company considers an intangible asset at risk when its fair value is not higher than its carrying amount by more than 10%. Based on the amount by which the fair value of the Applebee's tradename exceeded the carrying value, the Applebee's tradename was not at risk as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.
