Goodwill and Other Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets

A summary of the Company’s goodwill assets by reporting unit is presented in the following table:


(In thousands)	December 31, 2021		Goodwill Acquired		Impairment Loss		Goodwill Adjustments		March 31, 2022
Community banking	$	545,671	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	545,671

Total	$	655,149	$	—	$	—	$	253	$	655,402

The specialty finance unit’s goodwill increased $253,000 in the first three months of 2022 as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments related to the Canadian acquisitions.

The Company assesses each reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis and considers potential indicators of impairment at each reporting date between annual goodwill impairment tests. At October 1, 2021, the Company utilized a quantitative approach for its annual goodwill impairment tests of the banking, specialty finance and wealth management reporting units and determined that no impairment existed at that time.

At each reporting date between annual goodwill impairment tests, the Company considers potential indicators of impairment. Given the current and prior economic uncertainty and volatility surrounding COVID-19, the Company assessed whether such events and circumstances resulted in it being more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying value. Potential impairment indicators considered include the condition of the economy and banking industry; government intervention and regulatory updates; the impact of recent events to financial performance and cost factors of the reporting units; performance of the Company’s stock and other relevant events.

At the conclusion of this assessment of all reporting units, the Company determined that as of March 31, 2022, it was more likely than not that the fair value of all reporting units exceeded the respective carrying value of such reporting unit.

The core deposit intangibles recognized in connection with prior bank acquisitions are amortized over a ten-year period on an accelerated basis. The customer list intangibles recognized in connection with the purchase of life insurance premium finance assets in 2009 are being amortized over an 18-year period on an accelerated basis. The customer list and other intangibles recognized in connection with prior acquisitions within the wealth management segment are being amortized over a period of up to ten years on a straight-line basis. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of certain trade and domain names recognized in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Veterans First Mortgage in 2018. As indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, the Company assesses impairment on at least an annual basis.

Total amortization expense associated with finite-lived acquisition-related intangibles totaled approximately $1.6 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
