Products intangible assets have an estimated useful life of 10 years. Some trademarks and certifications have indefinite lives and some have useful lives of 5 years to 10 years. Developed technology has estimated useful lives of 15 years to 20 years. Customer relationships intangibles have useful lives of 2 years to 17 years. The other category of intangibles has an estimated useful life of 5 years. The weighted average useful life for the definite-lived intangibles is 13 years.
Intangible assets held in non-U.S. entities are valued in foreign currencies; accordingly, changes in indefinite life intangible assets, such as certifications, at March 31, 2026 and 2025 were the result of foreign currency translation adjustments. Foreign currency translation adjustments also impacted finite life intangible assets held in non-U.S. entities.
The Company recorded amortization expense of $13,428, $13,681, and $10,158 in fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively for intangible assets. Annual amortization of intangible assets for the next five fiscal years and thereafter will approximate the following:

About Goodwill & Intangibles Disclosures

Goodwill and intangible asset disclosures reveal the premium paid in acquisitions and how management assesses whether that premium retains its value. Since goodwill is no longer amortized under US GAAP, the annual impairment test is the only mechanism that adjusts carrying values downward — making the assumptions behind that test critically important for investors.

Key signals: a history of goodwill impairments suggests management consistently overpays for acquisitions. Watch the gap between reporting unit fair value and carrying amount — when fair value exceeds carrying amount by less than 10-20%, a small decline in business performance could trigger a write-down. For finite-lived intangibles, examine useful life assumptions across customer relationships, technology, and trade names; aggressive estimates inflate near-term earnings. Compare total intangibles-to-total-assets ratios against peers to assess acquisition dependency. Rising goodwill as a percentage of equity can signal balance sheet fragility.
