Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combinations | NOTE 4· Business Combinations During the nine months ended September 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 several books 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”). All of these acquisitions were acquired primarily to expand Brown & Brown’s core business and to attract and hire high-quality individuals. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014, several adjustments were made within the permitted measurement period that resulted in a decrease in the aggregate purchase price of the affected acquisitions of $93,000 relating to the assumption of certain liabilities. Cash paid for acquisitions were $720.1 million and $379.7 million in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We completed 6 acquisitions in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014. We completed 4 acquisitions (excluding books of business purchases) in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, with the largest being Beecher Carlson Holdings, Inc. which was effective July 1, 2013 and cash paid totaled to $364.2 million. 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 amortizable intangible assets acquired in the current year are as follows: purchased customer accounts, 15.0 years; and non-compete agreements, 3.3 years. Goodwill of $506,335,000 was allocated to the Retail, National Programs, Wholesale Brokerage and Services Segments in the amounts of $71,449,000, $427,802,000, $7,323,000 and ($239,000), respectively. Of the total goodwill of $506,335,000, $141,757,000 is currently deductible for income tax purposes and $351,641,000 is non-deductible. The remaining $12,937,000 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 September 30, 2014, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were $77,064,000 and $5,166,000, respectively. If the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the respective periods, 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.
