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. The total consideration paid by the Company was $1.7 billion, funded through cash on hand, proceeds from a new term loan and draws on the Company's existing Revolving Credit Facility. Further, in connection with the transaction, an estimated additional $261 million in investment proceeds had not yet been distributed at the investment date due to continuing employment requirements of associated management owners. Consequently, this amount represented compensation expense incurred related to the investment that was expensed subsequent to the date of the transaction, and was reflected in selling, general and administrative expense and cash from operations for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021. Approximately $267 million was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, with approximately $6 million of the estimated charges forfeited by employees that left the Company before payment and the net cash impact recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The remaining 35% interest was acquired by PA Consulting employees, whose redeemable noncontrolling interests had a fair value of $582.4 million on the closing date, including subsequent purchase accounting adjustments. PA Consulting is accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary and as a separate operating segment. See Note 12 - Borrowings for more discussion on the financing for the transaction. The following summarizes the fair values of PA Consulting's assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in millions):

Goodwill recognized results from a substantial assembled workforce, which does not qualify for separate recognition, as well as expected future economic benefits. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company has completed its final assessment of the fair values of PA Consulting's assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Since the initial preliminary estimates reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company updated certain provisional amounts reflected in the final purchase price allocation, as summarized in the estimated fair values of PA Consulting assets acquired and liabilities assumed above. See below for further discussion on updates to redeemable noncontrolling interests. Identifiable intangibles are customer relationships, contracts and backlog and trade name and have estimated lives ranging from 9 to 20 years (weighted average life of approximately 12 years). The following presents summarized unaudited pro forma operating results of Jacobs from continuing operations assuming that the Company had the PA Consulting investment at September 28, 2019. These pro forma operating results are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not indicative of the operating results that would have been achieved had the related events occurred (in millions, except per share data):

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests In connection with the PA Consulting investment, the Company recorded redeemable noncontrolling interests, including subsequent purchase accounting adjustments, representing the noncontrolling interest holders' equity interests in the form of preferred and common shares of PA Consulting, with substantially all of the value associated with these interests allocable to the preferred shares. During the first and third quarters of fiscal 2022, PA Consulting repurchased certain shares of the redeemable noncontrolling interest holders for $35.1 million and $11.0 million, respectively, in cash and during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, PA Consulting issued certain shares of redeemable noncontrolling interest holders for $49.7 million. The difference between the cash purchase prices and the recorded book values of these repurchased and issued interests was recorded in the Company’s consolidated retained earnings. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, updates to the Company’s preliminary opening balance sheet fair value estimates of the redeemable noncontrolling interests resulted in an offsetting decrease and increase in fair value of the preference share and common share components of the interests by $57.3 million, respectively, with the corresponding redemption value adjustment associated with the preference share portion decreasing consolidated retained earnings and earnings per share by $0.44. See Note 6- Earnings Per Share and Certain Related Information. The results of these adjustments had no impact on the Company’s overall results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
