The change in the Financial Services segment goodwill balance from June 30, 2020 is the result of a change in the foreign currency exchange rates on the EduPristine goodwill balance recorded in the Indian Rupee compared to the U.S. dollar.

Amortization expense for amortized intangible assets was $2.5 million and $5.0 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and $2.6 million and $5.1 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. Estimated intangible asset amortization expense is as follows (in thousands):

	Financial
Fiscal Year	Services
2021 (remaining)	$	5,036
2022		9,943
2023		9,792
2024		9,509
2025		7,933
Thereafter		15,360
Total	$	57,573

All amortizable intangible assets except ACAMS customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis. The amount amortized for ACAMS customer relationships is based on the estimated retention of the customers, giving consideration to the revenue and cash flow associated with these existing customers.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets related to trade names, Title IV eligibility and accreditations, and intellectual property are not amortized, as there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, economic or other factors that limit the useful life of these intangible assets to the reporting entity.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist. Our annual testing date is May 31.

Adtalem has four reporting units that contained goodwill as of the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. These reporting units constitute components for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by segment management and the Board. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit containing the goodwill exceeds the fair value of that reporting unit, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the fair value of the reporting unit goodwill is less than the carrying amount of the goodwill, up to the amount of goodwill recorded. In analyzing the results of operations and business conditions of all four reporting units, as of December 31, 2020, it was determined that no triggering event had occurred that would indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit had exceeded its fair value.

Adtalem has four reporting units that contained indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, management first analyzes qualitative factors, including results of operations and business conditions of the four reporting units that contained indefinite-lived intangible assets, significant changes in cash flows at the individual indefinite-lived intangible asset level, if applicable, as well as how much previously calculated fair values exceed carrying values to determine if it is more likely than not that the intangible assets associated with these reporting units have been impaired. In qualitatively assessing the indefinite-lived intangible assets of the four reporting units, it was determined that it was more likely than not that these assets’ fair values exceeded their carrying values as of December 31, 2020.

These interim triggering event conclusions were based on the fact that the annual impairment review of Adtalem’s reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets resulted in no impairments as of the end of fiscal year 2020, and that no interim events or deviations from planned operating results occurred as of December 31, 2020 that would cause management to reassess these conclusions. Although the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a negative effect on the

operating results of all four reporting units that contain goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, at this time none of the effects are considered significant enough to create a triggering event. The effects are currently projected to be short-term and would not significantly decrease long-term cash flow projections; however, should economic conditions continue to deteriorate, the revenue and operating results could also deteriorate to the point where a triggering event would exist and require reassessment of the fair values of goodwill and intangible assets and potential impairments.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit or an intangible asset involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Management bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable at the time, but such assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainty. Actual results may differ from those estimates, which could lead to future impairments of goodwill or intangible assets.
