Amortization expense

Amortization expense with respect to finite-lived intangibles amounted to $3.7 million, $4.3 million and $4.5 million for the years ended January 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The estimated amortization expense with respect to intangibles for the next five years is as follows:

Year Ending January 31,	Amortization Expense
	(In thousands)
2023	$	3,318
2024		3,097
2025		3,027
2026		2,965
2027		2,706

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and measured for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Change in Goodwill

Changes in the amounts of goodwill for each of the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 are summarized by reportable segment as follows (in thousands):

	Wholesale		Retail		Total
January 31, 2020	$	260,622		—	$	260,622

Impairment

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired and accounted for under the purchase method. The Company reviews and tests its goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may be impaired. The Company performs its goodwill test as of January 31 of each year using a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test using an income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis methodology. The discounted cash flow approach requires that certain assumptions and estimates be made regarding industry economic factors and future profitability. The Company also performs its annual test for intangible assets with indefinite lives as of January 31 of each year using a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test using a relief from royalty method, another form of the income approach. The relief from royalty method requires assumptions regarding industry economic factors and future profitability.

The Company performed its annual tests of its wholesale reporting unit and its indefinite-lived trademarks as of January 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 and determined that no impairment existed at those dates. The results of the Company’s annual tests determined that the estimated fair values of its wholesale reporting unit and its indefinite-lived trademarks were substantially in excess of their carrying values.

The Company’s indefinite-lived trademark balance is primarily composed of the Donna Karan/DKNY trademark that was acquired in fiscal 2017.

The fair value of the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are considered a Level 3 valuation in the fair value hierarchy.
