Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

The Company historically recognized $4.5 million in goodwill as the result of the acquisition of 50% of TAV on September 1, 2021, and an additional $2.0 million in goodwill as a result of the business combination with Omega Title Florida, LLC ("OTF") on August 1, 2022. The fair value of goodwill as of the date of these acquisitions was principally based on Level 3 inputs, such as values obtained from public and private market comparisons. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, the Company did not record any goodwill impairment losses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company’s goodwill is allocated to the Title Insurance Segment. See Note 8, Segment Information for allocation of goodwill and intangible assets to the Company’s segments.
