Goodwill and Other Intangibles
NOTE 13: GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
GOODWILL
The recoverable amount of the Bank’s CGUs or groups
 
of CGUs is determined from internally
 
developed valuation models that consider
 
various factors and
assumptions such as forecasted earnings, growth
 
rates, discount rates, and terminal
 
growth rates. Management is required
 
to use judgment in estimating the
recoverable amount of the CGUs or groups
 
of CGUs,
 
and the use of different assumptions and estimates
 
in the calculations could influence the
 
determination of
the existence of impairment and the valuation
 
of goodwill. Management believes that the assumptions
 
and estimates used are reasonable and
 
supportable. Where
possible, assumptions generated internally
 
are compared to relevant market information.
 
The carrying amounts of the Bank’s CGUs or groups
 
of CGUs are
determined by management using risk-based
 
capital models to adjust net assets and liabilities
 
by CGU. These models consider various
 
factors including market
risk, credit risk,
 
and operational risk, including investment
 
capital (comprised of goodwill and other intangibles).
 
As at the date of the last impairment test,
 
the
amount of capital not directly attributable
 
to the CGUs and held within the Corporate
 
segment was approximately $
22.9
 
billion (2024 – $
11.5
 
billion) and primarily
related to treasury assets and excess capital
 
managed within the Corporate segment.
 
The Bank’s capital oversight committees provide
 
oversight to the Bank’s
capital allocation methodologies.
Key Assumptions
The recoverable amount of each CGU or group
 
of CGUs has been determined based on its estimated
 
value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use, estimated
 
future
cash flows based on the Bank’s internal forecast
 
are discounted using an appropriate pre-tax
 
discount rate.
The following were the key assumptions
 
applied in the goodwill impairment testing:
Discount Rate
The pre-tax discount rates used reflect
 
current market assessments
 
of the risks specific to each group of
 
CGUs and are dependent on the risk profile
 
and capital
requirements of each group of CGUs.
Forecasted Earnings
The earnings included in the goodwill impairment
 
testing for each group of CGUs were based
 
on the Bank’s internal forecast, which projects
 
expected cash flows
over the next five years,
 
with the exception of the U.S. Personal and
 
Commercial Banking group of CGUs
 
where cash flow projections covering a
 
seven year
period were used, which more closely aligns
 
with the long-term strategic growth plan for
 
the business.
Terminal Growth Rates
Beyond the Bank’s internal forecast, cash flows
 
were assumed to grow at a steady terminal
 
growth rate. Terminal growth rates were based on the expected long-
term growth of gross domestic product and
 
inflation and ranged from
3.7
% to
4.2
% (2024 –
2.0
% to
4.1
%).
In considering the sensitivity of the key assumptions
 
discussed above, management determined
 
that a reasonably
 
possible change in any of the above
 
would not
result in the recoverable amount of any of
 
the groups of CGUs to be less than their carrying
 
amount.
