Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change to indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred (i.e., a triggering event). Synovus conducted a goodwill impairment assessment as of December 31, 2019, following Synovus' reorganization, applying ASC 350-20-35-3A Goodwill Subsequent Measurement - Qualitative Assessment Approach and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. See "Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 19 -Segment Reporting" to the consolidated financial statements of Synovus' 2019 Form 10-K for information on Synovus' reorganization during 2019. During the second quarter of 2020, Synovus assessed the indicators of goodwill impairment for each reporting unit and noted certain events related to COVID-19 that indicated it was more likely than not that goodwill was impaired, necessitating an interim test. Triggering events included Synovus' stock price trading below book value for the entire quarter, a n extremely low interest rate environment, as well as general economic uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, which has led to an economic recession. As such, Synovus performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2020, which included determining the estimated fair value of each reporting unit, utilizing a combination of discounted cash flow and market-based approaches, and comparing that fair value to each reporting unit's carrying amount. The discounted cash flow method included updated internal forecasts, long-term profitability targets, growth rates and discount rates. The market approach was based on a comparison of certain financial metrics of Synovus' reporting units to guideline public company peers. The income-based discounted cash flow approach was more heavily weighted (60%) than the market-based approach (40%) due to significant volatility in the market since the pandemic was declared a National Emergency. Based on assessments performed at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded its carrying amount at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020; therefore, goodwill is not impaired. However, the excess of fair value over the carrying amount for the Community Banking and Wholesale Banking reporting units was significantly less than the excess at December 31, 2019. Due to the high degree of subjectivity involved in estimating the fair value of Synovus' reporting units, a significant decline in Synovus' expected future cash flows or estimated growth rates due to further deterioration in the economic environment, or a prolonged decline in the price of Synovus' common stock, may necessitate additional future interim assessments that could result in a goodwill impairment charge that is material to Synovus' results from operations, but would not materially impact our financial condition.
Schedule of Other Intangible Assets | The following table shows the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of other intangible assets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which primarily consist of core deposit intangible assets acquired in the FCB acquisition. The CDI is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately ten years utilizing an accelerated method. Aggregate other intangible assets amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Aggregate other intangible assets amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $2.4 million and $5.8 million, respectively.
