 generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease contract at commencement date. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately for real estate leases. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments that adjust periodically based on changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Subsequent increases in the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The ROU assets and lease liabilities are not re-measured as a result of changes in the CPI. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for our financing leases is comprised of the amortization of the right-of-use asset and interest expense recognized based on the effective interest method. We use the long-lived assets impairment accounting guidance to determine whether an ROU asset is impaired, and if impaired, the amount of loss to recognize. Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. These could include vacating the leased space, obsolescence, or physical damage to a facility. If an impairment loss is recognized for a ROU asset, the adjusted carrying amount of the ROU asset would be its new accounting basis. The remaining ROU asset (after the impairment write-down) is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. Branch Acquisition On February 10, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of three branches in southern California, whereby we assumed $376 million in deposits and purchased $21 million in loans. The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in recording goodwill of $12 million, and a core deposit intangible of $11 million. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill is recorded upon completion of a business combination as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill has been determined to have an indefinite useful life and is not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances occur that indicate it is more likely than not the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value necessitating an impairment test. The Company performs its annual impairment testing in the third quarter of each year, or sooner if a triggering event occurs. Triggering events include
