Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract] |
Acquisitions and Dispositions | Acquisition Valor Environmental In June 2024, the Company acquired 98% of Valor Environmental (Valor), an environmental services company providing erosion control and related services to commercial development sites and homebuilders throughout the United States. The Company has the option to acquire the remaining equity interests and the remaining equity holders have the option to sell their interests to the Company in the future. Total consideration for the transaction was $156.4 million, all of which was cash. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of Valor based on estimated fair value at the acquisition date. The Company recognized goodwill of $107.5 million and intangible assets of $49.0 million. Goodwill is primarily attributable to expected future earnings and cash flow potential of Valor, and it is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Results attributable to Valor will be included in the Company's Markel Ventures segment beginning in the third quarter of 2024. The Company has not completed the process of determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result, the fair value recorded for these items is a provisional estimate and is subject to adjustment. Once completed, any adjustments resulting from the valuations may impact the individual amounts recorded for assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the residual goodwill.
