The duration and severity of COVID-19 could result in future impairment charges to our reportable segments’ goodwill balances. While we have concluded that a triggering event did not occur during the nine months ended September 26, 2020, a prolonged pandemic could significantly impact our results of operations and result in changes to the assumptions we utilize in determining the estimated fair values of goodwill, which could trigger an impairment.

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

In connection with the Smartrac acquisition, we acquired approximately $78 million of identifiable intangible assets, which consisted of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, and patents and other acquired technology. We utilized the income approach to estimate the fair values of acquired identifiable intangibles, primarily using Level 3 inputs. The discount rate we used to value these assets was 13.5%.

The table below summarizes the amounts and useful lives of these intangible assets as of the acquisition date.

			Amortization
	Amount		period
	(in millions)		(in years)
Patents and other acquired technology	$	60.0	11
Customer relationships		16.0	6
Trade names and trademarks		2.0	5
