GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In 2013, as a result of operating losses and restructuring activities at one of the Kaplan International businesses, Kaplan recorded an intangible and other long-lived assets impairment charge of $3.3 million. The Company estimated the fair value of the student and customer relationships and database and technology intangible assets using the excess earnings method, and the fair value of the trade name and trademarks intangible assets using the relief from royalty method.
As part of the Company’s annual impairment review in 2012, the KTP reporting unit failed the step one goodwill impairment test, and, therefore, a step two analysis was performed. As a result of the step two analysis, the Company recorded a goodwill and other long-lived asset impairment charge of $111.6 million. The Company estimated the fair value utilizing a discounted cash flow model, supported by a market approach. The impairment charge was the result of a slowdown in enrollment growth at KTP, operating losses for the preceding three years and other factors. A substantial portion of the impairment charge was due to the amount of unrecognized intangible assets identified in the step two analysis.
Amortization of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, was $13.6 million, $20.9 million and $22.2 million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets is estimated to be approximately $11 million in 2014, $9 million in 2015, $8 million in 2016, $5 million in 2017, $4 million in 2018 and $3 million thereafter.
