8. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
The Company’s goodwill balance was $38.8 million at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. There were no changes in the Company’s goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
As of December 31, 2025, based on the Company’s qualitative assessment, which considered the Company’s continued profitability, positive equity, average community bank merger deal values realized during 2025, net interest margin, allowance for credit losses, and continued growth in its core deposit portfolio, the Company concluded that the goodwill of the Company’s reporting unit, the Bank, was not more likely than not impaired.

About Goodwill & Intangibles Disclosures
Goodwill and intangible asset disclosures reveal the premium paid in acquisitions and how management assesses whether that premium retains its value. Since goodwill is no longer amortized under US GAAP, the annual impairment test is the only mechanism that adjusts carrying values downward — making the assumptions behind that test critically important for investors.
Key signals: a history of goodwill impairments suggests management consistently overpays for acquisitions. Watch the gap between reporting unit fair value and carrying amount — when fair value exceeds carrying amount by less than 10-20%, a small decline in business performance could trigger a write-down. For finite-lived intangibles, examine useful life assumptions across customer relationships, technology, and trade names; aggressive estimates inflate near-term earnings. Compare total intangibles-to-total-assets ratios against peers to assess acquisition dependency. Rising goodwill as a percentage of equity can signal balance sheet fragility.
