Acquisitions, Investments and Dispositions | Acquisitions and Investments Sempra Solar In December 2018, the Clean Energy Businesses completed their acquisition of Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC, a Sempra Energy subsidiary, for $1,609 million, including working capital and other closing adjustments of $69 million. In 2019, Con Edison finalized the purchase price allocation and reclassified approximately $100 million which primarily decreased property, plant and equipment and asset retirement obligations, the impact of which was not material to earnings. The reclassification was recorded within the one year available to finalize the purchase price allocation. The acquired company has ownership interests in 981 megawatts (AC) of operating renewable electric production projects, including its 379 megawatts (AC) share of projects in which its subsidiaries had a 50 percent ownership interest (Acquired JV Interests) and the Clean Energy Businesses had the remaining ownership interests (Previously-Owned JV Interests), and certain development rights with respect to solar electric production and energy storage projects. At the acquisition date, the acquired company’s subsidiaries had $1,354 million of tangible assets consisting mostly of property, plant and equipment, $878 million of intangible assets mostly arising from power purchase agreements, $4 million of other noncurrent assets, $568 million of project debt (including, in each case, amounts associated with the Acquired JV Interests) and $28 million of asset retirement obligation liabilities. The weighted average amortization period for these intangible assets is 16 years. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest attributable to the tax equity investors (see below) was $100 million. The acquisition date valuation was performed using a discounted cash flow approach. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined based on significant estimates and assumptions that are judgmental in nature, including projected amounts and timing of future cash flows, discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows and future power prices. Upon completion of the acquisition, the acquisition date fair value of the Previously-Owned JV Interests increased from $437 million to $568 million and Con Edison recognized a pre-tax gain of $131 million ($89 million or $0.28 per share net of taxes). Prior to the acquisition, Con Edison had been accounting for the Previously-Owned JV Interests under the equity method. Upon completion of the acquisition, Con Edison is accounting for Acquired JV Interests and the Previously-Owned JV Interests on a consolidated basis. Certain projects acquired have tax equity investors to which a percentage of earnings, tax attributes and cash flows are allocated. See Note R. Con Edison's revenues and net income for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 as reported and pro forma to account on a consolidated basis for the acquisition as if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2017 instead of December 13, 2018 are as follows:
| Years ended December 31,
(Millions of Dollars) | 2018 | 2017
As Reported |  |
Revenue | $12,337 | $12,033
Net income | 1,382 | 1,525
PRO FORMA SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION |  |
If Acquired January 1, 2017 (a)(b) |  |
Revenue | $12,655 | $12,331
Net income | 1,279 | 1,612
(a) Reflects the following material adjustments: •included additional interest expense of $37 million and $38 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively, that would have been incurred if $825 million that was borrowed in December 2018 under a variable rate term loan agreement to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition had instead been borrowed for such purpose on January 1, 2017 at a fixed rate of 4.64% per annum; and •with respect to the Previously-Owned JV Interests: eliminated the $131 million purchase accounting gain (pre-tax) that Con Edison recognized upon the completion of the acquisition in 2018 and reflected the $131 million purchase accounting gain in 2017; recorded the corresponding increase to the book value of the related net utility plant and power purchase agreement intangible asset as of January 1, 2017 instead of December 13, 2018, and included the increased depreciation and amortization expense in 2018 and 2017; and eliminated $33 million and $32 million of other income that Con Edison had recorded in 2018 and 2017, respectively, under the equity method of accounting. (b) Recalculating each investor’s claim on the investee’s assets under the contractual liquidation waterfall as if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2017 is impracticable. Accordingly, no HLBV adjustments were made.
