In connection with the 2015 acquisitions, goodwill of $31.2 million was recorded for the businesses acquired that were included within Quanta’s Electric Power Infrastructure Services Division and $20.6 million was recorded for businesses included within Quanta’s Oil and Gas Infrastructure Services Division on the dates of acquisition. In connection with the 2014 acquisitions, goodwill of $72.3 million was recorded for the businesses included within Quanta’s Electric Power Infrastructure Services Division and $94.1 million was recorded for businesses included within Quanta’s Oil and Gas Infrastructure Services Division based on fair market values of assets and liabilities on the dates of acquisition.
