Intangible Assets Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of core deposit intangibles, developed technology, customer relationships and other intangible assets which include trade names, backlog and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are amortized on either a straight-line or an accelerated basis over their estimated useful lives and the amortization expense is typically recorded in other noninterest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

On February 1, 2026, the Bancorp completed its acquisition of Comerica Incorporated. In connection with the acquisition, the Bancorp recorded a $1.2 billion core deposit intangible asset with a weighted-average amortization period of 10 years. The fair value of the core deposit intangible is as of March 31, 2026 and subject to change as additional information becomes available. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the Bancorp is in the process of identifying and assessing other intangible assets acquired in the Comerica transaction.

The details of the Bancorp’s intangible assets are shown in the following table:
