In July 2025, the Company combined its reporting units to align with its three operating segments. No reallocation of goodwill was necessary, and the goodwill of the existing reporting units was combined in the new reporting units. The reporting unit level is consistent with the level at which the CODM assesses the performance of the Company and makes decisions concerning the allocation of resources.

Due to the change in composition of the Company's reporting units, management performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill for impairment immediately before and after the change as of July 1, 2025.

The quantitative analysis uses a blend of both income and market approaches to value the reporting units and compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. Goodwill is considered impaired if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill.

The income approach, which is the primary valuation approach, consists of discounting projected long-term future cash flows, which are derived from internal forecasts and economic expectations for the respective reporting units. The significant inputs to the income approach include expected future cash flows, long-term target equity ratios, and the discount rate. The market approaches incorporate comparable public company information, valuation multiples, and consideration of a market control premium along with data related to comparable observed purchase transactions in the financial services industry for the reporting units.

The results of the interim quantitative goodwill impairment tests indicated that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values by more than 10% both immediately prior to and immediately after the realignment. Therefore, there was no goodwill impairment.

The Company performed its annual impairment assessment of goodwill on October 1, 2025 by performing a qualitative assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit level based on factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, financial services industry considerations, regional economic conditions, general Company performance, and reporting unit performance. No impairment was indicated for any reporting unit.

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.
