Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets [Abstract]

7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Business segments are based on segment leadership structure, which reflects how segment performance is monitored and assessed. We have five major business segments: Retail and Business Banking, Commercial Banking, Automobile Finance and Commercial Real Estate (AFCRE), Regional Banking and The Huntington Private Client Group (RBHPCG), and Home Lending. A Treasury / Other function includes, along with technology and operations, other unallocated assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense.

A rollforward of goodwill by business segment for the first three-month period of 2015 is presented in the table below:

		Retail &

During the 2015 first quarter, Huntington completed the acquisition of Macquarie and recorded $155.8 million of goodwill and $8.2 million of other intangible assets. For additional information on the acquisition, see Business Combinations footnote.

Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis at October 1 of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. As a result of the 2014 first quarter reorganization in our reported business segments, goodwill was reallocated among the business segments. Immediately following the reallocation, impairment of $3.0 million was recorded in the Home Lending reporting segment.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Huntington’s other intangible assets consisted of the following:

			Gross				Net
			Carrying		Accumulated		Carrying
(dollar amounts in thousands)			Amount		Amortization		Value

	Core deposit intangible	$	400,058	$	(374,940)	$	25,118
