11. Goodwill

Business combinations entered into by the Bancorp typically result in the recognition of goodwill. Acquisition activity includes acquisitions in the respective period in addition to purchase accounting adjustments related to previous acquisitions. On March 22, 2019 the Bancorp completed its acquisition of MB Financial, Inc. In connection with the acquisition, the Bancorp recorded $1.8 billion of goodwill. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the Bancorp is in the process of completing its analysis of the allocation of the goodwill across its four business segments, therefore goodwill is presented as part of General Corporate and Other as of March 31, 2019.
