Goodwill is subject to an annual assessment for impairment at the reporting unit level. The goodwill on
Emera’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2023, primarily related to TECO Energy
(reporting units with goodwill are TEC, PGS, and NMGC).
 
In 2023, Emera performed qualitative impairment assessments for NMGC and PGS, concluding that the
FV of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts, and as such, no quantitative
assessments were performed and
no
 
impairment charges were recognized. Given the length of time
passed since the last quantitative impairment test for the TEC reporting unit, Emera elected to bypass a
qualitative assessment and performed a quantitative impairment assessment in Q4 2023 using a
combination of the income approach and market approach. This assessment estimated that the FV of the
TEC reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, including goodwill, and as a result
no
 
impairment
charges were recognized.
In 2022, the Company elected to bypass a qualitative assessment and performed a quantitative
impairment assessment for GBPC, using the income approach. It was determined that the FV did not
exceed its carrying amount, including goodwill. As a result of this assessment, a goodwill impairment
charge of $
73
 
million was recorded in 2022, reducing the GBPC goodwill balance to nil as at December
31, 2022. This non-cash charge is included in “GBPC impairment charge” on the Consolidated
Statements of Income.
