Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combinations | NOTE 4· Business Combinations Acquisitions in 2014 During the six months ended June 30, 2014, Brown & Brown acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of five insurance intermediaries, all of the stock of one insurance intermediary that owns an insurance carrier and a book of business (customer accounts). Additionally, miscellaneous adjustments were recorded to the purchase price allocation of certain prior acquisitions completed within the last twelve months as permitted by ASC Topic 805 — Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions and the miscellaneous adjustments totaled $1,140,408,000 including $720,102,000 of cash payments, the issuance of $125,000 in other payables, the assumption of $407,023,000 of liabilities and $13,158,000 of recorded earn-out payables. All of these acquisitions were acquired primarily to expand Brown & Brown’s core business and to attract and hire high-quality individuals. Acquisition purchase prices are typically based on a multiple of average annual operating profit earned over a one- to three-year period within a minimum and maximum price range. The recorded purchase price for all acquisitions consummated after January 1, 2009 included an estimation of the fair value of liabilities associated with any potential earn-out provisions. Subsequent changes in the fair value of earn-out obligations will be recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income when incurred. The fair value of earn-out obligations is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements. In determining fair value, the acquired business’s future performance is estimated using financial projections developed by management for the acquired business and reflects market participant assumptions regarding revenue growth and/or profitability. The expected future payments are estimated on the basis of the earn-out formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement compared to the associated financial projections. These payments are then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration the likelihood that the forecasted earn-out payments will be made. Based on the acquisition date and the complexity of the underlying valuation work, certain amounts included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be provisional and thus subject to further adjustments within the permitted measurement period, as defined in ASC 805. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, several adjustments were made within the permitted measurement period that resulted in an increase in the aggregate purchase price of the affected acquisitions of $33,000 relating to the assumption of certain liabilities. The following table summarizes the aggregate purchase price allocations made as of the date of the acquisitions for the current-year acquisitions and adjustments made during the measurement period for prior-year acquisitions:

The weighted average useful lives for the acquired amortizable intangible assets are as follows: purchased customer accounts, 15.0 years; and non-compete agreements, 3.3 years. Goodwill of $503,107,000 was allocated to the Retail, National Programs, Wholesale Brokerage, and Services Divisions in the amounts of $78,395,000, $417,539,000, $(239,000), $7,412,000, respectively. Of the total goodwill of $503,107,000, $148,592,000 is currently deductible for income tax purposes and $341,357,000 is non-deductible. The remaining $13,158,000 relates to the recorded earn-out payables and will not be deductible until it is earned and paid. The results of operations for the acquisitions completed during 2014 have been combined with those of the Company since the acquisition date. The total revenues and income before income taxes from the acquisitions completed through June 30, 2014, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2014, were $29,796,000 and $1,294,000, respectively. If the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the period, the Company’s results of operations would be as shown in the following table. These unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisitions actually been made at the beginning of the respective periods.

Acquisitions in 2013 During the six months ended June 30, 2013, Brown & Brown acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of two insurance intermediaries and a book of business (customer accounts). The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was $17,865,000, including $14,366,000 of cash payments, the issuance of $85,000 in other payables, the assumption of $860,000 of liabilities and $2,554,000 of recorded earn-out payables. All of these acquisitions were acquired primarily to expand Brown & Brown’s core businesses and to attract and hire high-quality individuals. Acquisition purchase prices are typically based on a multiple of average annual operating profit earned over a one- to three-year period within a minimum and maximum price range. The recorded purchase price for all acquisitions consummated after January 1, 2009 included an estimation of the fair value of liabilities associated with any potential earn-out provisions. Subsequent changes in the fair value of earn-out obligations will be recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of income when incurred. The fair value of earn-out obligations is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements. In determining fair value, the acquired business’s future performance is estimated using financial projections developed by management for the acquired business and reflects market participant assumptions regarding revenue growth and/or profitability. The expected future payments are estimated on the basis of the earn-out formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement compared to the associated financial projections.

Based on the acquisition date and the complexity of the underlying valuation work, certain amounts included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be provisional and thus subject to further adjustments within the permitted measurement period, as defined in ASC Topic 805 – Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). For the six months ended June 30, 2013, several adjustments were made within the permitted measurement period that resulted in reduction to the aggregate purchase price of the applicable acquisitions of $1,115,000, including $18,000 of cash payments, a reduction of $454,000 in other payables, the assumption of $42,000 of liabilities and the reduction of $721,000 in recorded earn-out payables.

As of June 30, 2014, the maximum future contingency payments related to all acquisitions totaled $153,019,000, all of which relates to acquisitions consummated subsequent to January 1, 2009. ASC 805 is the authoritative guidance requiring an acquirer to recognize 100% of the fair values of acquired assets, including goodwill, and assumed liabilities (with only limited exceptions) upon initially obtaining control of an acquired entity. Additionally, the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements (such as earn-out purchase arrangements) at the acquisition date must be included in the purchase price consideration. As a result, the recorded purchase prices for all acquisitions consummated after January 1, 2009 include an estimation of the fair value of liabilities associated with any potential earn-out provisions. Subsequent changes in these earn-out obligations will be recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of income when incurred. Potential earn-out obligations are typically based upon future earnings of the acquired entities, usually between one and three years. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the fair values of the estimated acquisition earn-out payables were re-evaluated and measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3). The resulting additions, payments, and net changes, as well as the interest expense accretion on the estimated acquisition earn-out payables, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, were as follows:
