Acquisitions [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS ﻿ We believe that our acquisitions of businesses and other assets enhance our existing businesses by either expanding our geographic range and customer base or expanding our existing product lines. We had no acquisitions during the first quarter of 2018. During the first quarter of 2017, we acquired a reference laboratory in Austria for approximately €1.3 million, with the majority of the acquisition price valued as an intangible asset. This acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of a business and t he results of operations of this reference laboratory have been included in our CAG segment since the acquisition date. Pro forma information has not been presented for this business acquisition because such information is not material to our financial statements.
