Acquisitions Note 10 – Acquisitions

Goodwill arises from business combinations and is generally determined as the excess of fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquired entity, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exists that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed.

On December 31, 2021, Financial completed its acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Pettyjohn, Wood & White, Inc. (“PWW”), a Lynchburg, Virginia-based investment advisory firm with approximately $650 million in assets under management and advisement at the time of the acquisition. The acquisition was undertaken to enhance Financial’s service line offerings as well as augment its noninterest income streams. Following the acquisition, PWW operates as a subsidiary of Financial. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The fair values were subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred upon closing on December 31, 2021 totaled $10.5 million, which was paid in cash. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were $9.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, resulting in an acquisition date balance of goodwill totaling approximately $3.0 million. The principal component of the assets acquired was $8.4 million of amortizable intangible assets, which primarily relate to the value of customer relationships acquired with the acquisition of PWW. The Company is amortizing these intangible assets over a 15-year period using the straight-line method. The Company has selected September 1 of each year as the date to perform the annual impairment test. The Company performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill at September 1, 2022, and concluded that no impairment existed. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet.

In accordance with the acquisition agreement, a working capital adjustment was paid in 2022 totaling approximately $818 thousand to the former owners of PWW. As such, Financial adjusted the total consideration transferred by increasing its investment in PWW by the amount of cash paid and also recorded a corresponding increase to the balance of goodwill. Additionally, in 2022, it was determined a valid IRC 338(h)(10) election was filed, which in effect, will treat the acquisition of PWW’s outstanding shares as an asset acquisition for tax purposes. The balance of goodwill was reduced by $1.8 million with a corresponding increase to deferred income taxes (included in the other assets caption) to appropriately reflect this determination. The adjusted balance of goodwill of $2.1 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
