PA Consulting Business Combination | Other Business Combinations StreetLight Data, Inc. On February 4, 2022, the Company acquired StreetLight Data, Inc., ("StreetLight") for a purchase price based on an enterprise value of $209 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. StreetLight is a pioneer of mobility analytics who uses its data and machine learning resources to shed light on mobility and enable users to solve complex transportation problems. BlackLynx On November 19, 2021, a subsidiary of Jacobs acquired all outstanding shares of common stock of BlackLynx, a provider of high-performance software, to complement Jacobs' portfolio of cyber, intelligence and digital solutions. The Company paid total base consideration of approximately $234.9 million in cash to the former owners of BlackLynx. In addition, the transaction involved the potential payment of future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue and gross margin thresholds being achieved in calendar year 2022. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date is $1.3 million. The future contingent consideration will be paid, if and to the extent achieved, in second quarter of fiscal 2023. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company also paid off BlackLynx's debt of approximately $5.3 million simultaneously with the consummation of the acquisition. The following summarizes the fair values of BlackLynx's assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in millions):
Assets |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 5.1 |
Receivables | 7.7 |
Property, equipment and improvements, net | 0.8 |
Goodwill | 158.5 |
Identifiable intangible assets | 103.5 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 3.2 |
Total Assets | $ | 278.8 |
Liabilities |
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities | $ | 19.5 |
Other long term liabilities | 23.1 |
Total Liabilities | 42.6
Net assets acquired | $ | 236.2 |
The purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary information and is subject to change when additional information is obtained. Goodwill recognized results from a substantial assembled workforce, which does not qualify for separate recognition, as well as expected future synergies from combining operations. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company has not completed its final assessment of the fair values of BlackLynx's assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase price allocation could result in adjustments to certain assets and liabilities, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill. Identifiable intangibles are customer relationships, contracts and backlog and technology and have estimated lives of 12 and 15 years, respectively. No summarized unaudited pro forma results are provided for the BlackLynx acquisition due to the immateriality of this acquisition relative to the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. Buffalo Group On November 24, 2020, a subsidiary of Jacobs completed the acquisition of Buffalo Group, a leader in advanced cyber and intelligence solutions which allows Jacobs to further expand its cyber and intelligence solutions offerings to government clients. The Company paid total consideration of $190.1 million, which was comprised of approximately $182.4 million in cash to the former owners of Buffalo Group and contingent consideration of $7.7 million. The contingent consideration was subsequently recognized in fiscal 2021 as an offset to selling, general and administrative expense when it was determined no amounts would be paid. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company assumed the Buffalo Group's debt of approximately $7.7 million. The Company repaid all of the assumed Buffalo Group debt by the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2021. The following summarizes the fair values of Buffalo Group's assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in millions):
Assets |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 8.4 |
Receivables | 19.2 |
Property, equipment and improvements, net | 2.3 |
Goodwill | 130.7 |
Identifiable intangible assets | 74.0 |

Liabilities |
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities | $ | 46.9 |
Other long term liabilities | 3.8 |
Total Liabilities | 50.7
Net assets acquired | $ | 190.1 |
Goodwill recognized results from a substantial assembled workforce, which does not qualify for separate recognition, as well as expected future synergies from combining operations. All of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, given the acquisition was structured as an asset acquisition for tax purposes. The Company has completed its final assessment of the fair values of Buffalo Group's assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Since the initial preliminary estimates reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company has updated certain amounts reflected in the final purchase price allocation, as summarized in the fair values of Buffalo Group's assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date set forth above. Identifiable intangibles are customer relationships, contracts and backlog and have estimated lives of 9 years. No summarized unaudited pro forma results are provided for the Buffalo Group acquisition due to the immateriality of this acquisition relative to the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

PA Consulting Business Combination | PA Consulting Business Combination Deal Summary, Opening Balance Sheet and Pro Forma Financial Information On March 2, 2021, Jacobs completed the strategic investment of a 65% interest in PA Consulting, a UK-based leading innovation and transformation consulting firm.
