 assumptions to those used in its October 1, 2024 quantitative valuations, and the sensitivity of the October 1, 2024 quantitative results to changes in assumptions as of December 31, 2024. Based on these considerations, Truist concluded that it was not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of one or more of its reporting units is below its respective carrying amount as of December 31, 2024.

Prior to the January 1, 2024 realignment of certain business activities described above, the Company also performed quantitative goodwill impairment analyses for its former CB&W and C&CB reporting units as of October 1, 2023. Based on the results of the prior year impairment analyses, the Company concluded as of October 1, 2023 that the carrying values of the former CB&W and C&CB reporting units exceeded their respective fair values, which resulted in a non-cash, non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge of $6.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. This prior year goodwill impairment charge was primarily due to the continued impact of higher interest rates and discount rates on the former CB&W and C&CB reporting units, and a sustained decline in the banking industry share prices, including Truist’s through the October 1, 2023 date of the prior year quantitative analyses.

Income Taxes

Truist is subject to income tax laws of the U.S., its states, and the municipalities in which the Company conducts business. In estimating the net amount due to or to be received from tax jurisdictions either currently or in the future, the Company assesses the appropriate tax treatment of transactions and filing positions after considering statutes, regulations, judicial precedent, and other pertinent information. The income tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant government taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining the tax accruals and in evaluating the Company’s tax positions, including evaluating uncertain tax positions. Changes in the estimate of accrued taxes occur periodically due to changes in tax rates, interpretations of tax laws and new judicial guidance, the status of examinations by the tax authorities, and newly enacted statutory and regulatory guidance that could impact the relative merits and risks of tax positions. These changes, when they occur, impact tax expense and can materially affect operating results. Truist reviews tax
