Goodwill

On July 1, 2020, FHN completed its merger-of-equals transaction with IBKC. In connection with the merger, FHN recorded a $531 million purchase accounting gain, based on fair value estimates.

On July 17, 2020, FHN completed its purchase of 30 branches from Truist Bank. In relation to the acquisition, FHN recorded $78 million in goodwill, based on fair value estimates. See Note 2 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information regarding these transactions.

FHN performed the required annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2020. The annual impairment test did not indicate impairment in any of FHN’s reporting units as of the testing date. Following the testing date, management evaluated the events and circumstances that could indicate that goodwill might be impaired and concluded that a subsequent interim test was not necessary.
As further discussed in Note 13 - Business Segment Information, FHN reorganized its management reporting structure during the fourth quarter of 2020 and, accordingly, its segment reporting structure and goodwill reporting units. In connection with the reorganization, management reallocated goodwill to the new reporting units using a relative fair value approach.

Accounting estimates and assumptions were made about FHN’s future performance and cash flows, as well as other prevailing market factors (e.g., interest rates, economic trends, etc.) when determining fair value as part of the goodwill impairment test. While management used the best information available to estimate future performance for each reporting unit, future adjustments to management’s projections may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the estimates.


The following is a summary of goodwill by reportable segment included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
