The community banking segment's goodwill increased $69.4 million in the first nine months of 2015 as a result of the acquisitions of Delavan, Suburban, North Bank and CFIS. The specialty finance segment's goodwill decreased $2.9 million in the first nine months of 2015 as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments related to the Canadian acquisitions.

At June 30, 2015, the Company utilized a qualitative approach for its annual goodwill impairment test of the community banking segment and determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment existed at that time. The annual goodwill impairment tests of the specialty finance and wealth management segments will be conducted at December 31, 2015.
