transaction, refer to note 4.
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, 2024, related to TECO Energy,
 
Inc. (reporting
units with goodwill are TEC, PGS, and NMGC).
 
On August 5, 2024, Emera announced an agreement to sell
 
NMGC. As the expected transaction
proceeds on the pending sale will be less than the NMGC carrying
 
amount, the Company performed a
quantitative goodwill impairment assessment for the NMGC
 
reporting unit. It was determined that the
NMGC carrying amount exceeded the FV of the expected transaction
 
proceeds, and as a result, a non-
cash goodwill impairment charge of $
210
 
million, pre-tax, was recorded in Q3 2024, reducing the
 
NMGC
reporting unit goodwill balance to $
303
 
million as at December 31, 2024. This non-cash charge
 
is
included in “Impairment charges” on the Consolidated
 
Statements of Income.
In 2024, a qualitative assessment was performed for TEC
 
given the significant excess of FV over carrying
amounts calculated during the last quantitative test in
 
Q4 2023. Management concluded it was more likely
than not that the FV of this reporting unit exceeded
 
its carrying amount, including goodwill. As such, no
quantitative testing was required. Given the length of time
 
passed since the last quantitative impairment
test for the PGS reporting unit, Emera elected to bypass
 
a qualitative assessment and performed a
quantitative impairment assessment in Q4 2024 using a combination
 
of the income and market approach.
This assessment estimated that the FV of the PGS reporting
 
unit exceeded its carrying amount, including
goodwill, and as a result, no impairment charges were
 
recognized.
