White Mountains accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, White Mountains recognizes and measures the assets acquired, including other intangible assets, and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration liabilities, at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the amount paid to acquire a business over the fair value of identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. The estimated acquisition date fair values, generally consisting of other intangible assets and contingent consideration liabilities, may be recorded at provisional amounts in circumstances where the information necessary to complete the acquisition accounting is not available at the reporting date. Any such provisional amounts are finalized as measurement period adjustments within one year of the acquisition date.

The following tables present the economic life, acquisition date fair value, accumulated amortization, impairments and net carrying value for goodwill and other intangible assets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
