The results of operations of these businesses are included within the International and Children's Book Publishing & Distribution segments, respectively.

Intangible assets with definite lives consist principally of customer lists and intellectual property rights. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The weighted-average remaining useful life of all definite-lived intangible assets is approximately 3.7 years. Intangible assets with indefinite lives consist principally of trademark and trademark rights.
