Amortization expense for intangible assets totaled $3 million, $3 million and $4 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We estimate that annual amortization expense related to intangible assets will be approximately $2 million in 2014, $1 million each year in 2015 through 2018; and the weighted average remaining amortization period is approximately 23 years.
Our annual impairment analyses for 2013, 2012 and 2011 indicated no impairment of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives. In addition, there were no events or circumstances that indicated the impairment test should be re-performed for goodwill or for intangible assets with indefinite lives for any segment at December 31, 2013.
