GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES | GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The table below shows our goodwill balances by segment at June 30, 2026. We had no changes to the carrying amount of goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

(1)We had no accumulated impairment losses related to our goodwill as of June 30, 2026. Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $58.9 million and $44.4 million, respectively, of other indefinite-lived intangible assets included in other long-term assets on our balance sheets. These assets consist of $24.1 million of spectrum frequencies, which enable our utilities to transmit data and voice communications over a wavelength dedicated to us throughout our service territories. We also have $5.2 million of other indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of a MGU trade name from a previous acquisition. In October 2025, we entered into an option agreement for exclusive rights to purchase land for future generation development in Wisconsin. We have made two annual option payments and incurred total costs of $29.6 million and $15.1 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, with a right to exercise our option before December 31, 2030. Finite-Lived Intangible Assets At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $18.6 million and $17.4 million, respectively, of finite-lived intangible assets included in other long-term assets on our balance sheets. These assets largely consist of a PPA for Maple Flats Solar Energy Center LLC acquired by WECI in November 2024, with a gross carrying amount of $18.8 million. The PPA is being amortized over a useful life of 15 years and expires in 2039. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accumulated amortization related to the intangible assets was $2.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Amortization was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Amortization to be recorded as a decrease to operating revenues is expected to be $1.3 million in each of the next five years. Intangible Liabilities The intangible liabilities below were all obtained through acquisitions by WECI.
