Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Business combinations entered into by the Bancorp typically result in the recognition of goodwill. Acquisition activity includes acquisitions in the respective period in addition to purchase accounting adjustments related to previous acquisitions.

The Bancorp completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2024 by performing a qualitative assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit level to determine whether any indicators of impairment existed. In performing this qualitative assessment, the Bancorp evaluated events and circumstances since the last impairment analysis, macroeconomic conditions, banking industry and market conditions and key financial metrics of the Bancorp as well as reporting unit and overall Bancorp financial performance. After assessing the totality of the events and circumstances, the Bancorp determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of the Commercial Banking, Consumer and Small Business Banking and Wealth and Asset Management reporting units were less than their respective carrying amounts and, therefore, the quantitative goodwill impairment test was deemed unnecessary.

As further discussed in Note 1, the Bancorp completed an additional goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2024 to align with the annual testing date that will be used in future periods. This additional test followed the same methodology as the previously described September 30, 2024 test. This test as of October 1, 2024 also concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of the Bancorp’s reporting units were less than their respective carrying amounts.

Changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill, by reporting unit, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
