Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisitions and Investments | ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS 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. During the fourth quarter of 2019 we acquired the assets of a multi-site reference laboratory business in the mid-west of the U.S. for $50.0 million in cash. This acquisition expands our national reference laboratory presence in the U.S., and was accounted for as a business combination. We finalized the valuation of the fair value of the assets acquired during the first quarter of 2020. The fair value of the assets acquired consists of $26.9 million in intangible assets, primarily for customer relationships, with a weighted average life of 13.8 years, $0.2 million of tangible assets, and $22.9 million of goodwill, representing synergies within our reference laboratory portfolio. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Pro forma information has not been presented for this acquisition because such information is not material to the financial statements. The results of operations have been included in our CAG segment since the acquisition date. The acquisition expenses incurred were not material. During the third quarter of 2018, we acquired substantially all of the assets of a software company for $25.0 million. This acquisition expands the IDEXX suite of veterinary software offerings and further underscores our commitment to investing in software innovations that advance the veterinary profession. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The fair value of the assets acquired consist of $2.6 million in technology intangible assets, $2.4 million in customer relationship intangible assets, $0.3 million of net liabilities, and $20.3 million of goodwill, representing synergies with our current software product offerings. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Pro forma information has not been presented for this acquisition because such information is not material to the financial statements. The results of operations have been included in our CAG segment since the acquisition date. The acquisition expenses incurred were not material.
