Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was approximately $1.1 billion of goodwill recorded in Goodwill and intangible assets, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total carrying value by reporting unit was approximately $718.7 million and $417.6 million for Direct to Consumer and All Other, respectively, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Rocket Money in 2021.

Goodwill Impairment Test

The Company completed a qualitative impairment assessment of goodwill for each reporting unit as of October 1, 2024. The qualitative assessment did not identify indicators of impairment. The Company concluded that it was more likely than not that each respective reporting unit had a fair value in excess of its carrying value. As such, further impairment assessment was not necessary.

Intangible Assets

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was approximately $91.2 million and $100.5 million of intangible assets recorded in Goodwill and intangible assets, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, which primarily consist of customer relationships and developed technology recorded in connection with the acquisition of Rocket Money.

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.
