Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisitions Of Businesses | Acquisitions of Businesses Acquisitions are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method of accounting and the prices paid for them are allocated to their respective assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities at the dates of their respective acquisition by us. In January 2020, we acquired a company for an immaterial amount. This company provides building automation and controls solutions within the Northeastern region of the United States, and its results of operations have been included within our United States building services segment. On November 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Batchelor & Kimball, Inc. (“BKI”), a leading full service provider of mechanical construction and maintenance services. This acquisition strengthens our position and broadens our capabilities in the Southern and Southeastern regions of the United States, and its results of operations have been included within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment. Under the terms of the transaction, we acquired 100% of BKI’s outstanding capital stock for total consideration of approximately $220.3 million. In connection with the acquisition of BKI, we acquired working capital of $29.8 million and other net assets of $4.9 million and have preliminarily ascribed $43.9 million to goodwill and $141.7 million to identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits expected from this strategic acquisition. The weighted average amortization period for the identifiable intangible assets acquired, which consist of a trade name, customer relationships, and contract backlog, is approximately 10.5 years. In addition to BKI, during 2019, we completed six other acquisitions for total consideration of $85.4 million. Such companies include: (a) a company which provides electrical contracting services in central Iowa, the results of operations of which have been included within our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment, (b) a company which provides mechanical contracting services in south-central and eastern Texas, the results of operations of which have been included within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, and (c) four companies within our United States building services segment which bolster our presence in geographies where we have existing operations and provide either mobile mechanical services or building automation and controls solutions. In connection with these acquisitions, we acquired working capital of $25.3 million and other net assets of $1.3 million and have preliminarily ascribed $29.2 million to goodwill and $29.6 million to identifiable intangible assets. NOTE 4 Acquisitions of Businesses - (Continued) We expect that all of the goodwill acquired in connection with these acquisitions will be deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocations for the business acquired in 2020, BKI, and one of the other businesses acquired in 2019 are preliminary and subject to change during their respective measurement periods. As we finalize such purchase price allocations, adjustments may be recorded relating to finalization of intangible asset valuations, tax matters, or other items. Although not expected to be significant, such adjustments may result in changes in the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired. The purchase price allocations for the remaining businesses acquired in 2019 have been finalized with an insignificant impact.
