Business Combinations and Divestitures

On February 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Access, a bank holding company based in Reston, Virginia for a purchase price of approximately $500.0 million. Access’s common stockholders received 0.75 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of Access’s common stock, resulting in the Company issuing 15,842,026 shares of common stock. In addition, the Company paid cash of approximately $12,000 in lieu of fractional shares.

In connection with the transaction, the Company recorded $202.6 million in goodwill and $43.5 million of amortizable intangible assets, which primarily relate to core deposit intangibles. The Company currently estimates that these other intangible assets will be amortized over 5 to 10 years using various methods. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The adoption of this standard required lessees to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed the Company to not reassess the lease classification of existing leases, as well as not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease; and maintain consistent treatment of initial direct costs on existing leases. In addition, the Company elected the short-term lease exemption practical expedient in which leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company also elected the practical expedient related to accounting for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Adoption of this standard resulted in the Company recording a lease liability of $53.2 million and right of use assets of $48.9 million as of January 1, 2019. Operating leases have been included within other assets and other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The implementation of this standard resulted in a $1.1 million decrease to Retained Earnings. There was no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Refer to Note 6 "Leases" for further discussion regarding the adoption.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." This ASU amends the Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2019 using the prospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
