The Company recorded amortization expense of $71.1 million and an impairment loss of $Nil related to other intangible assets during 2025 (2024 - $57.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively).
In performing the impairment assessment, the Company first assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Based on its qualitative assessment, the Company determined it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill and other intangible assets in question were less than their respective carrying amounts. The qualitative assessment included the following factors which the Company determined had not significantly deteriorated given specific facts and circumstances: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market conditions; costs factors; and overall financial performance. Other than normal course amortization of intangible assets, in accordance with the Company’s established accounting policy, there were no adjustments to carried goodwill and other intangible assets during 2025.
During 2024, the Company amalgamated and merged certain Validus Re entities into the Company. As a result of management’s review and analysis, it was determined that certain licenses associated with these entities were either cancelled upon amalgamation or merger, or that there was no new business written using these licenses in 2024, and no new business would be incepting using these licenses on a go forward
basis. Accordingly, and in connection with the Company’s impairment testing performed, it was determined that certain licenses associated with these acquired Validus entities, which were initially reflected as indefinite lived intangible assets of $13.9 million at the time of the acquisition of Validus, should be written down to $Nil. The Company recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $13.8 million during 2024.
The remaining useful life of intangible assets with finite lives ranges from 1.83 years to 12.83 years, with a weighted-average amortization period of 11.89 years. Expected amortization of the other intangible assets, including other intangible assets recorded in investments in other ventures, under equity method, is shown below:
