During 2025, the Corporation completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2025 by using a quantitative assessment for the Consumer Banking reporting unit and a qualitative assessment for the remaining six reporting units. Based on the assessments, the Corporation concluded that none of its reporting units are at risk of impairment, as each of the reporting units’ fair values are substantially in excess of their carrying values. For more information regarding the nature of and accounting for the Corporation’s annual goodwill impairment testing, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles.
