As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s trade names had a net carrying amount of $646 million and $595 million, respectively. The Company believes these intangibles have indefinite lives, with the exception of the right to use the GE Transportation trade name, to which the Company had assigned a useful life of 5 years and became fully amortized in the first quarter of 2024.
Intangible assets of the Company, other than goodwill and trade names, consist of the following:
