We perform our annual goodwill impairment test for each of our reporting units as of July 1 of each fiscal year, in conjunction with our annual strategic planning process. We also test goodwill for impairment whenever events or circumstances occur which, in our judgment, could more likely than not reduce the fair value of one or more reporting units below its carrying value. Potential impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, (i) the results of our most recent annual or interim impairment testing, in particular the magnitude of the excess of fair value over carrying value observed, (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts, and the magnitude thereof, if any, and (iii) declines in Baker Hughes' market capitalization below its book value, and the magnitude and duration of those declines, if any.
During the first quarter of 2023, we completed a review to assess whether indicators of impairment existed. As a result of this assessment, we concluded that no indicators existed that would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying value. There can be no assurances that future sustained declines in macroeconomic or business conditions affecting our industry will not occur, which could result in goodwill impairment charges in future periods.

Intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis with estimated useful lives ranging from 1 to 35 years. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $63 million and $55 million, respectively.
Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2023 and each of the subsequent five fiscal years is expected to be as follows:
