In the first quarter of 2022, the Company acquired 100% of Efficient Hire, a provider of cloud recruiting, onboarding and human resources management solutions, within the Workforce Solutions operating segment, and Data Crédito, a consumer credit reporting agency in the Dominican Republic, within the International operating segment.

These acquisitions expand the Company's data assets as well as product offerings. The Company accounted for these acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value at the date of the acquisition. The primary area of the purchase price that is not yet finalized for LawLogix and Midigator is related to working capital. Accordingly, adjustments may be made to the values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the valuation date. 2021 Acquisitions and Investments. In February 2021, the Company acquired 100% of Kount, a provider of fraud prevention and digital identity solutions for $640 million within the USIS business unit.

(1)Identifiable intangible assets are further disaggregated in the following table. (2)The goodwill related to the 2022 acquisitions was recognized in the Workforce Solutions, USIS, and International operating segments. $201.7 million of goodwill related to the 2022 acquisitions was tax deductible, which excludes goodwill related to Data Crédito within International and a portion of goodwill related to Midigator within USIS. The goodwill related to the 2021 acquisitions were recognized in the Workforce Solutions, USIS and International operating segments. $1.4 billion of goodwill related to 2021 acquisitions was tax deductible, which excludes goodwill related to Kount within USIS and AccountScore within International. The primary reasons the purchase price of these acquisitions exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired, which resulted in the recognition of goodwill, were expanded growth opportunities from new or enhanced product offerings and geographies, cost savings from the elimination of duplicative activities and the acquisition of an assembled workforce that are not recognized as assets apart from goodwill.
