Note 6 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

At year end, goodwill and other intangible assets are summarized as follows:

Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. The Bancorp’s goodwill relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of the Bancorp to provide quality, cost effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. Goodwill is tested annually 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. There has not been any impairment of goodwill identified or recorded.

In addition to goodwill, a core deposit intangible was established from previous acquisitions. The Bancorp had core deposit intangible balances of $3.3 million and $4.8 million as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The table below summarizes the annual amortization:

For the RYFL acquisition, as part of the fair value of certificates of deposit, a fair value premium was established of $1.0 million. Approximately $217 thousand and $541 thousand of amortization was taken as income during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization to be recorded in future periods is $124 thousand in 2024, $72 thousand in 2025, and $54 thousand thereafter.
