The Company retains servicing rights on mortgages originated and sold to the secondary market. Beginning January 1, 2022, the Company elected the fair value measurement method for accounting for MSR assets, pursuant to which assets are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. Prior to this election, the Company accounted for MSR assets under the amortization method, whereby the MSR assets were recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of MSR assets was $29.0 million, and at December 31, 2021, the carrying value of MSR assets under the amortization method was $16.5 million.

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.
