Intangible assets are recorded net of accumulated amortization (for definite-lived components) and impairment (for indefinite-lived components). We recognized $78.7 million of cumulative impairment charges related to our trademarks as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

On October 22, 2024, we acquired a domain name that we had previously licensed (the “Acquired Domain Name”). In exchange for the Acquired Domain Name, we are required to disburse monthly interest-free cash payments totaling $31.4 million through June 2040 (the “Acquired Domain Name Obligation”).

We account for the Acquired Domain Name as a definite-lived intangible asset under ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. The acquisition cost of the Acquired Domain Name was $17.3 million, which will be amortized over a period of 15.6 years (the “Acquired Domain Name Term”). As of December 31, 2024, the Acquired Domain Name had a carrying value of $17.3 million, which is recorded in Intangible assets – net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We account for the Acquired Domain Name Obligation as a liability for which we will accrue interest over the Acquired Domain Name Term at an effective interest rate of 8.6% per annum. As of December 31, 2024, the Acquired Domain Name Obligation had a carrying value of $17.2 million, $0.6 million of which is recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining $16.6 million is recorded in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $0.2 million of interest for the Acquired Domain Name Obligation, which is recorded in Interest expense – net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, our intangible assets increased primarily as a result of our investments in the Acquired Domain Name and other various capitalized development costs. Amortization expense on our definite-lived intangible assets was $42.4 million, $15.7 million, and $7.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, which is recorded in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, we incurred losses of $0.2 million, $0.6 million, and $0.3 million, respectively, on asset disposals related to our definite-lived intangible assets, which are recorded in General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The estimated future amortization expense related to our definite-lived intangible assets (other than work in progress capitalized development costs) at December 31, 2024 is as follows (in thousands):
