NOTE 22 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and certain other intangibles generally arise from business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill totaled $3.6 million at both December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and represents the excess of the total acquisition price paid over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of the fair values of liabilities assumed in the Branch Purchase on February 24, 2023, and the purchase of four retail bank branches from Bank of America on January 22, 2016. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis at December 31 of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company performed an impairment analysis at December 31, 2024 and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed.

Core deposit intangible (“CDI”) is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable, with any changes in estimated useful life accounted for prospectively over the revised remaining life. As of December 31, 2024, management believes that there have been no events or changes in the circumstances that would indicate a potential impairment of CDI.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s other intangible assets comprised solely of CDI for the years indicated:

	Other Intangible Assets
			Accumulated
	Gross CDI		Amortization			Net CDI
Balance, December 31, 2022	$	7,490	$	(4,121	)	$	3,369
Additions as a result of the Branch Acquisition		17,438		—			17,438
Amortization		—		(3,464	)		(3,464	)
Balance, December 31, 2023		24,928		(7,585	)		17,343
Amortization		—		(3,633	)		(3,633	)
Balance, December 31, 2024	$	24,928	$	(11,218	)	$	13,710

The CDI represents the fair value of the intangible core deposit base acquired in business combinations. The CDI will be amortized on an accelerated basis over 10 years for the CDI related to the Branch Acquisition, on a straight-line basis over 10 years for the CDI related to the Anchor Bank acquisition on November 2018 and on an accelerated basis over approximately nine years for the CDI related to the purchase of four retail bank branches from Bank of America on January 22, 2016. Total amortization expense was $3.6 million, $3.5 million and $691,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Amortization expense for CDI is expected to be as follows for the years ended December 31:

2025	$	3,192
2026		2,845
2027		2,500
2028		2,110
2029		1,283
Thereafter		1,780
Total	$	13,710
