The Bancorp monitors changing customer preferences associated with the channels it uses for banking transactions to evaluate the efficiency, competitiveness and quality of the customer service experience in its consumer distribution network. As part of this ongoing assessment, the Bancorp may determine that it is no longer fully committed to maintaining full-service banking centers at certain locations. Similarly, the Bancorp may also determine that it is no longer fully committed to building banking centers on certain parcels of land which had previously been held for future branch expansion. The Bancorp closed a total of 32 banking centers throughout its footprint during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Bancorp performs assessments of the recoverability of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Impairment losses associated with such assessments and lower of cost or market adjustments were $1 million, $2 million and $9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Bancorp also recognized $8 million of impairment losses in conjunction with transferring certain parcels of land to OREO. The recognized impairment losses were recorded in other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
