BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURE BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURE
The Company completed two acquisitions in the third quarter of 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. 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. The Company is in the process of evaluating the fair value of the assets and liabilities related to these acquisitions. 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 acquisitions. Changes to amounts recorded as assets and liabilities may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill during the respective measurement periods.
