Amortization expense for amortized intangible assets was $97.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. There was no amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2021 or 2020. Future intangible asset amortization expense, by reporting unit, is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal Year	Walden
2023	$	61,239
2024		35,644
2025		11,220
2026		11,220
2027		1,394
Total	$	120,717

Curriculum is amortized on a straight-line basis. Student relationships is amortized based on the estimated retention of the students and giving consideration to the revenue and cash flow associated with these existing students.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets related to trade names and Title IV eligibility and accreditations 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. There were no triggering events in fiscal year 2022. Our annual testing date is May 31.

Adtalem has four reporting units that contained goodwill as of May 31, 2022. These reporting units constitute components for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by segment management. 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, it was determined that a quantitative impairment analysis was not necessary for any reporting unit to determine if the carrying values of the reporting unit exceeded their fair values as of the May 31, 2022 annual impairment review date because it was determined to be more likely than not that fair value exceeded carrying value.

Adtalem has four reporting units that contained indefinite-lived intangible assets as of May 31, 2022. 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 the May 31, 2022 annual impairment review date.
