The Company estimates that amortization expense will be $10.2 million for the remaining nine months of fiscal 2019. Amortization expense for future years is estimated to be: $12.9 million in fiscal 2020, $12.2 million in 2021, $10.5 million in fiscal 2022, $7.7 million in fiscal 2023, $6.5 million in fiscal 2024 and $9.2 million cumulatively thereafter. The future amortization expense amounts represent estimates and may be impacted by future acquisitions, divestitures or changes in foreign currency exchange rates, among other causes.
Fiscal 2019 Impairment Charge
During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, within the Engineered Components & Systems segment, the Company recognized impairment charges related to the Precision Hayes and Cortland U.S. businesses in conjunction with meeting the criteria for assets classified as held for sale. See Note 5, “Divestiture Activities,” for further discussion of impairment & divestiture charges. As a result of meeting the held for sale criteria, the Company reassessed the weighted-average holding period for the associated assets which resulted in a change in our current estimated fair value. Also, the Company recognized an additional impairment charge related to the Cortland Fibron business based on a change in the anticipated sales proceeds. Accordingly, we recognized a $21.1 million impairment charge, representing the excess of net book value of assets held for sale over anticipated proceeds.

(1) The Cortland reporting unit is representative of the Cortland U.S. and Cortland Fibron businesses. The goodwill impairment charge related to Cortland U.S. and the assets held for sale impairment charge related to Cortland Fibron.
To the extent actual proceeds on the divestiture are less than current projections, or there are changes in the composition of the asset disposal group, further write-downs of the carrying value of the Precision Hayes and Cortland reporting units may be required.
