We recorded amortization expense associated with definite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 of $40 million, $47 million and $41 million, respectively. We utilize the straight-line method of amortization,

recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2017, we impaired intangible assets by $1 million.

The estimated future amortization expense for our definite-lived intangible assets is as follows:


Year	Amount
	(in millions)
2020	$	43
2021	34
2022	33
2023	31
2024	30

Acquisitions

Acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2019 were not material individually or in the aggregate. As a result of certain acquisitions, our Automotive segment allocated $8 million to goodwill and $1 million to definite-lived intangible assets during 2019. In addition, as a result of certain acquisitions, our Home Fashion segment allocated $22 million to goodwill and $1 million to definite-lived intangible assets during 2019 and our Metals segment allocated $4 million and $6 million to goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets, respectively, also during 2019.

Impairment of Goodwill

When performing the quantitative analysis for goodwill impairment testing, we base the fair value of our reporting units on consideration of various valuation methodologies, including projecting future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved (“DCF”). Assumptions used in a DCF require the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates and terminal values, growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The forecasted cash flows are based on current plans and for years beyond that plan, the estimates are based on assumed growth rates. We believe that our assumptions are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying businesses. The discount rates, which are intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections, used in a DCF are based on estimates of the weighted-average cost of capital of a market participant. Such estimates are derived from our analysis of peer companies and consider the industry weighted average return on debt and equity from a market participant perspective.

Automotive

We perform the annual goodwill impairment test for our Automotive segment as of October 1 of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, coinciding with our annual goodwill impairment analysis, we reorganized our Automotive segment's reporting units. Prior to the reorganization, our Automotive segment had two reporting units, Pep-Boys and AutoPlus, with all of its goodwill allocated to the Pep-Boys reporting unit. A goodwill impairment analysis just prior to the reorganization did not have an impact on the Pep-Boys reporting unit goodwill. Upon reorganization of the reporting units, a portion of the Pep-Boys reporting unit was reallocated to the AutoPlus reporting unit, which resulted in our Automotive segment continuing to have two redefined reporting units, Service and Parts. As a result, a portion of the goodwill was reallocated using a relative fair value allocation approach, which resulted in approximately 27% of the goodwill being reallocated to the Parts reporting unit. Based on our annual goodwill impairment analysis for our Automotive segment, which reflected our reorganized reporting units, we determined that the carrying value of its Parts reporting unit exceeded its fair value and as a result, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $87 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, which represented the full amount of the goodwill allocated to the Parts reporting unit. This impairment was the result of our reporting unit reorganization, which resulted in a significant amount of carrying value of net assets being reallocated to the Parts reporting unit, primarily for inventory, with a significantly lesser fair value due to the future projected cash flows of the Parts reporting unit, which resulted in the Parts reporting unit having a carrying value in excess of its fair value. Therefore, the goodwill reallocated to the Parts reporting unit was immediately impaired. We also determined that the fair value of our Automotive

segment's Service reporting unit was significantly in excess of its carrying value and therefore, no additional impairment is required. During 2019, our Automotive segment considered qualitative factors to determine that goodwill at its Service reporting unit does not require further testing for impairment.
