The Company estimates that amortization expense will be $5.1 million for the remaining three months of fiscal 2017. Amortization expense for future years is estimated to be: $20.2 million in fiscal 2018, $19.6 million in 2019, $18.9 million in fiscal 2020, $18.0 million in fiscal 2021, $16.0 million in fiscal 2022 and $34.8 million thereafter. The future amortization expense amounts represent estimates and may be impacted by future acquisitions, divestitures or changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Fiscal 2016 Interim Impairment Charge
The prolonged unfavorable conditions in the global oil & gas markets, including additional cuts in projected capital spending by energy customers, reduced exploration, drilling and commissioning activities and excess capacity in the industry were expected to have an adverse impact on the future financial results of the Cortland and Viking businesses.  Accordingly, during the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recognized a $140.9 million impairment charge (as a result of lower projected future sales and profits) related to the Cortland and Viking businesses.
Additionally, weakness in off-highway vehicle and agricultural markets coupled with challenging overall industrial fundamentals, reductions in OEM customer build rates and production schedules and delays in the start of production by certain European OEMs for new or updated design models resulted in reduced sales and profitability of the maximatecc business. As a result of lower projected sales and profits, during the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recognized a $45.7 million impairment charge related to the maximatecc business.
A summary of the second quarter fiscal 2016 impairment charge by reporting unit is as follows (in thousands):
