Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is tested annually, or more often than annually, if circumstances warrant, for impairment. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is indicated, and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the financial statements. Goodwill totaled $1.31 billion and $1.15 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Goodwill increased $164.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the Spirit acquisition, along with adjustments related to the continued assessment of the fair value and assumed tax position of the Landmark and Triumph acquisitions.

Goodwill impairment was neither indicated nor recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2022 or the year ended December 31, 2021. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company performed an annual goodwill impairment analysis and concluded no impairment existed. Also during the second quarter of 2022, the Company’s share price began to decline as markets in the United States responded to record inflation and other economic pressures. As a result of the effect on share price, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment and concluded no impairment existed during the period.

Core deposit premiums represent the value of the relationships that acquired banks had with their deposit customers and are amortized over periods ranging from 10 years to 15 years and are periodically evaluated, at least annually, as to the recoverability of their carrying value. Other intangible assets represent the value of other acquired relationships, including relationships with trust and wealth management customers, and are being amortized over various periods ranging from 10 years to 15 years.
