Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Columbia had $1.0 billion in goodwill as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, which represents the excess of the total acquisition price paid over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of fair value of liabilities assumed in connection with the Merger. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for potential impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company performed its annual impairment assessment as of October 31, 2023. No events or circumstances since the annual impairment test were noted that would indicate it was more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.

Core deposit intangible assets values were determined based on the present value of the expected cost savings attributable to the core deposit funding relative to an alternative source of funding. The intangible assets are being amortized on an accelerated basis over a period of 10 years. No impairment losses have been recognized in the periods presented.
