The Company paid $1.0 million in cash and recorded a $0.1 million intangible asset for a noncompete agreement, a $0.4 million customer list intangible and $0.5 million of goodwill in conjunction with the acquisition. The effects of the acquired assets have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Revenues of approximately $0.1 million and direct expenses of approximately $0.1 million were included in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2022. On May 13, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Elmira Savings Bank (“Elmira”), a New York State chartered savings bank headquartered in Elmira, New York, for $82.2 million in cash. The acquisition enhances the Company’s presence in five counties in New York’s Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions. In connection with the acquisition, the Company acquired approximately $583.4 million of identifiable assets, including $437.0 million of loans, $11.3 million of investment securities, and $8.0 million of core deposit intangibles, as well as $522.3 million of deposits. Goodwill of $42.2 million was recognized as a result of the merger. The effects of the acquired assets and liabilities have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. The Company also recognized a $3.9 million acquisition-related provision for credit losses for loans acquired in the transaction. Revenues of approximately $12.1 million and direct expenses of approximately $3.1 million from the Elmira branch network, which may not include certain shared expenses, were included in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company incurred certain transaction-related costs in 2022 in connection with the Elmira acquisition. On January 1, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiary OneGroup, completed acquisitions of certain assets of three insurance agencies for an aggregate amount of $2.5 million in cash. The Company recorded a $2.5 million customer list intangible asset in conjunction with the acquisitions. The effects of the acquired assets have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Revenues of approximately $0.9 million and direct expenses of approximately $0.4 million were included in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2022. On August 2, 2021, the Company, through its subsidiary OneGroup, completed its acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of the Thomas Gregory Associates Insurance Brokers, Inc. (“TGA”), a specialty-lines insurance broker based in the Boston, Massachusetts area, for $11.6 million in cash plus contingent consideration with a fair value at acquisition date of $1.5 million. The Company recorded a $10.9 million customer list intangible asset and $2.2 million of goodwill in conjunction with the acquisition. The effects of the acquired assets and liabilities have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Revenues of approximately $3.1 million and $0.6 million and direct expenses of approximately $1.8 million and $0.6 million from TGA were included in the consolidated income statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The acquisition of TGA includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company based on the future retained revenue of TGA over a three-year period. Amounts are payable in two payments, the first of which is two years after the acquisition date, and the second is three years after the acquisition date. The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between zero and $3.4 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $1.5 million was estimated by applying the income approach, a measure that is based on significant Level 3 inputs not readily observable in the market. Key assumptions at the date of acquisition include (1) a discount rate range of 0.82% to 1.09% to present value the payments and (2) probability adjusted level of retained revenue between $2.3 million and $3.8 million. The contingent consideration related to the TGA acquisition was revalued at December 31, 2022. The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could pay under the agreement remained at between zero and $3.4 million. Key assumptions include (1) a discount rate range of 5.87% to 6.21% applied to present value the payments and (2) probability adjusted level of retained revenue between $3.1 million and $3.2 million. A revaluation was previously performed at June 30, 2022, resulting in a $0.5 million adjustment to the fair value of the contingent consideration. Based on the results of the December revaluation, the Company recorded a reduction of $0.3 million acquisition-related contingent consideration adjustment as of December 31, 2022 in the consolidated statements of income related to the TGA acquisition. The total net adjustment for 2022 was $0.2 million, for an adjusted fair value of $1.7 million at December 31, 2022. On July 1, 2021, the Company, through its subsidiary BPA, completed its acquisition of FBD for $15.4 million in cash plus contingent consideration with a fair value at acquisition date of $1.4 million. The Company recorded a $14.0 million customer list intangible asset and $2.1 million of goodwill in conjunction with the acquisition. The effects of the acquired assets have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Revenues of approximately $3.5 million and $2.8 million and direct expenses of approximately $4.1 million and $2.5 million from FBD were included in the consolidated income statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The acquisition of FBD includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company based on the future retained revenue of FBD over a two-year period. Amounts are payable three years after the acquisition date. The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between zero and $2.7 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $1.4 million was estimated by applying the income approach, a measure that is based on significant Level 3 inputs not readily observable in the market. Key assumptions at the date of acquisition include (1) a discount rate of 1.05% to present value the payment and (2) probability adjusted level of retained revenue between $5.6 million and $5.8 million. The contingent consideration related to the FBD acquisition was revalued at December 31, 2022. The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could pay under the agreement remained at between zero and $2.7 million. Key assumptions include (1) a discount rate of 6.09% applied to present value the payment, and (2) probability adjusted level of retained revenue between $4.9 million and $5.1 million. A revaluation was previously performed at June 30, 2022, resulting in a $0.1 million adjustment to the fair value of the contingent consideration. Based on the results of the December revaluation, the Company recorded an additional $0.4 million acquisition-related contingent consideration adjustment in the consolidated statements of income related to the FBD acquisition. The total adjustment for 2022 was $0.5 million, for an adjusted fair value of $1.1 million at December 31, 2022. On June 1, 2021, the Company, through its subsidiary OneGroup, completed its acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of NuVantage Insurance Corp. (“NuVantage”), an insurance agency headquartered in Melbourne, Florida. The Company paid $2.9 million in cash and recorded a $1.4 million customer list intangible asset and $1.4 million of goodwill in conjunction with the acquisition. The effects of the acquired assets and liabilities have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Revenues of approximately $1.3 million and $0.7 million and direct expenses of approximately $1.3 million and $0.6 million from NuVantage were included in the consolidated income statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. On June 12, 2020, the Company completed its merger with Steuben Trust Corporation (“Steuben”), parent company of Steuben Trust Company, a New York State chartered bank headquartered in Hornell, New York, for $98.6 million in Company stock and cash, comprised of $21.6 million in cash and the issuance of 1.36 million shares of common stock. The merger extended the Company’s footprint into two new counties in Western New York State, and enhanced the Company’s presence in four Western New York State counties in which it currently operates. In connection with the merger, the Company added 11 full-service offices to its branch service network and acquired $607.8 million of assets, including $339.7 million of loans and $180.5 million of investment securities, as well as $516.3 million of deposits. Goodwill of $20.0 million was recognized as a result of the merger. The effects of the acquired assets and liabilities have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Revenues, excluding interest income on acquired investments, interest income on acquired consumer indirect loans, and revenues associated with acquired loans and deposits consolidated into the legacy branch network, of approximately $11.4 million, $13.1 million and $7.7 million and direct expenses, which may not include certain shared expenses, of approximately $4.8 million, $5.1 million and $2.6 million from Steuben were included in the consolidated income statements for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company incurred certain transaction-related costs in connection with the Steuben acquisition. The assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management’s best estimates using information available at the dates of the acquisitions. During 2022, the carrying amount of other liabilities associated with the FBD acquisition was adjusted as a result of an adjustment to working capital based on the purchase agreement, for a total net increase to goodwill of $0.1 million. During the third quarter of 2022, the carrying amount of premises and equipment, other assets, and other liabilities related to the Elmira acquisition were adjusted upon receipt of new information as a result of adjustments to fair value and deferred income taxes. The adjustments resulted in a net decrease of $4.9 million to goodwill recognized from the Elmira acquisition at September 30, 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the carrying amount of loans, other assets and other liabilities related to the Elmira acquisition were adjusted upon receipt of new information as a result of adjustments to loan escrow balances, deferred income taxes and benefits accruals. The adjustments resulted in a net decrease to goodwill of $3.6 million. The above referenced acquisitions generally expanded the Company’s geographical presence in New York, Florida, Massachusetts and Minnesota, and management expects that the Company will benefit from greater geographic diversity and the advantages of other synergistic business development opportunities. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed after considering the measurement period adjustments described above: ​

Borrowings assumed with the Elmira acquisition included FHLB borrowings with a fair value of $17.6 million, with maturity dates ranging from January 2023 through March 2027 and a weighted average interest rate of 2.48%. The core deposit intangibles related to the Elmira and Steuben acquisitions and other intangibles related to the NuVantage acquisition and three of the OneGroup acquisitions completed in 2022 are being amortized using an accelerated method over an estimated useful life of eight years. The other intangibles associated with the fourth remaining OneGroup acquisition completed in 2022 are being amortized using an accelerated method over their estimated useful life of ten years. The other intangibles related to the TGA and FBD acquisitions are being amortized using an accelerated method over their estimated useful life of 13 years and 15 years, respectively. The goodwill, which is not amortized for book purposes, was assigned to the Banking segment for the Elmira and Steuben acquisitions, the All Other segment for the NuVantage, TGA and JMD acquisitions, and the Employee Benefit Services segment for the FBD acquisition. Goodwill arising from the Elmira, FBD and Steuben acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill arising from the JMD, NuVantage and TGA acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes. ​ Direct costs related to the acquisitions were expensed as incurred. Merger and acquisition integration-related expenses amount to $5.0 million, $0.7 million and $4.9 million during 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and have been separately stated in the consolidated statements of income. Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited) The following unaudited condensed pro forma information assumes the Elmira acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2021 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the Steuben acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2019 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The pro forma information does not include amounts related to the OneGroup acquisitions completed in 2022 or the NuVantage, FBD, and TGA acquisitions completed in 2021 as the amounts were immaterial. The table below has been prepared for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have been attained had the acquisitions occurred as of the beginning of the year presented, nor is it indicative of the Company’s future results. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma information does not reflect management’s estimate of any revenue-enhancing opportunities nor anticipated cost savings that may have occurred as a result of the integration and consolidation of the acquisitions. The pro forma information set forth below reflects the historical results of Elmira and Steuben combined with the Company’s consolidated statements of income with adjustments related to (a) certain purchase accounting fair value adjustments and (b) amortization of customer lists and core deposit intangibles. Acquisition expenses related to the Elmira transaction totaling $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 were included in the pro forma information as if they were incurred in 2021. Acquisition expenses related to the Steuben transaction totaling $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 were adjusted in the pro forma information as if they were incurred in 2019. ​
