Amortizing intangibles primarily consist of computer software, tradenames and customer relationships. All amortizing intangibles have been assigned an estimated finite useful life, and such intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the number of years that approximate their respective useful lives, generally three to ten years. Total amortization expense was $2.7 million and $4.3 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total amortization expense was $5.5 million and $8.7 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, no impairment charges were recorded to intangible assets.

The following is the future estimated amortization expense related to amortizing intangibles as of June 30, 2026:
