Significant and unanticipated changes in circumstances, such as declines in profitability and cash flow due to significant and long-term deterioration in macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, the loss of key customers, changes in technology or markets, significant changes in key personnel or litigation, a significant and sustained decrease in share price and/or other events, including effects from the sale or disposal of a reporting unit, could require a provision for impairment of goodwill and/or other intangible assets in a future period. As of March 28, 2020, the company had no accumulated impairment losses.

The weighted-average amortization periods related to other intangible assets are as follows:


			In Years
Customer relationships			15
Developed technology			2
Internally developed software			6
Patents			7
Trademarks			5
Other			39

Snap-on is amortizing its customer relationships on both an accelerated and straight-line basis over a 15-year weighted-average life; the remaining intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis. The weighted-average amortization period for all amortizable intangibles on a combined basis is 11 years.

The company’s customer relationships generally have contractual terms of three to five years and are typically renewed without significant cost to the company. The weighted-average 15-year life for customer relationships is based on the company’s historical renewal experience. Intangible asset renewal costs are expensed as incurred.

The aggregate amortization expense was $5.7 million and $5.4 million for the respective three months ended March 28, 2020, and March 30, 2019. Based on current levels of amortizable intangible assets and estimated weighted-average useful lives, estimated annual amortization expense is expected to be $21.6 million in 2020, $19.0 million in 2021, $15.9 million in 2022, $13.4 million in 2023, $10.6 million in 2024, and $6.3 million in 2025.
