     At March 31, 2015, the Company had goodwill of $31.6 million recorded on its consolidated balance sheet. The entire amount of the goodwill in all periods presented relates to the North America segment. The Company did not record any impairments during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, as there were no events that triggered an impairment analysis.

     During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, net sales of Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj fragrances fell significantly below expectations. The Company reviewed these license agreements for potential impairment. Given the significant decline in net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, and the expectation for a continued decline of sales in future periods, the Company determined that these intangible assets were fully impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of approximately $39.6 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 to write off the carrying values of both the Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj licenses.

     Amortization expense was $3.0 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $12.1 million and $14.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At March 31, 2015, the Company estimated annual amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years as shown in the following table. Future acquisitions, renewals or impairment events could cause these amounts to change.
