FARMERS NATIONAL BANC CORP /OH/ Goodwill & Intangibles Disclosure
NOTE 10 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill associated with the Company’s purchases of Crest in December 2024, Emlenton in January 2023 and other past acquisitions totaled $167.5 million at both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, which is determined through an impairment test. Management performs goodwill impairment testing on an annual basis as of September 30, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. As of September 30, 2025, no events or changes in circumstances indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit was below its carrying value. The Company will continue to monitor its goodwill for possible impairment.

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.
