Goodwill

Gross goodwill, accumulated impairments, and accumulated divestiture related write-offs were determined beginning January 1, 2002, when a change in accounting requirements resulted in goodwill being assessed for impairment rather than being amortized. Gross goodwill of $200.0 million with accumulated impairments and accumulated divestiture-related write-offs of $114.1 million and $85.9 million, respectively, were previously allocated to the non-strategic segment, resulting in $0 net goodwill allocated to the non-strategic segment as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The regional banking and fixed income segments do not have any accumulated impairments or divestiture related write-offs.

On July 1, 2020, FHN completed its merger-of-equals transaction with IBERIABANK Corporation. In connection with the merger, FHN recorded a $532.2 million purchase accounting gain, based on preliminary fair value estimates.

On July 17, 2020, FHN completed its purchase of 30 branches from Truist Bank. In relation to the acquisition, FHN recorded $77.6 million in goodwill, based on preliminary fair value estimates. See Note 2 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information regarding these transactions.

FHN performed the required annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2019. The annual impairment test did not indicate impairment in any of FHN’s reporting units as of the testing date. Following the testing date, management evaluated the events and circumstances that could indicate that goodwill might be impaired and concluded that a subsequent interim test was not necessary. FHN is currently in the process of performing its annual impairment test as of October 1, 2020.



The following is a summary of goodwill by reportable segment included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
