Fiscal 2025 Acquisitions and divestitures

The Company completed four acquisitions during fiscal year 2025, accounted for as business combinations. The results of the acquired businesses are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. The allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated to goodwill and if the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the purchase consideration a gain on bargain purchase was recognized. Pro-forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects were not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results for all periods presented. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the date of acquisition. Changes to amounts recorded as assets and liabilities may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill or gain on bargain purchase during the respective measurement periods.
