Business Combinations [Abstract] |
ACQUISITIONS | ACQUISITIONS On September 30, 2016, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of APC Logistics (“APC”) for the purpose of expanding our global presence and bringing additional capabilities and expertise to the company’s portfolio. Total purchase consideration was $229.4 million, which was paid in cash. We used advances under the Credit Agreement to fund part of the cash consideration. The following is a preliminary summary of the allocation of purchase price consideration to the estimated fair value of net assets for the acquisition of APC (in thousands):
Cash | $ | 10,181 |
Receivables | 37,190 |
Inventory and other current assets | 2,609 |
Property and equipment | 1,696 |
Identifiable intangible assets | 78,842 |
Goodwill | 132,797 |
Other noncurrent assets | 70 |
Long term deferred tax asset | 814 |
Total assets | 264,199 |
Accounts payable | (22,147 | )
Accrued expenses | (12,700 | )
Estimated net assets acquired | $ | 229,352 |
Identifiable intangible assets and estimated useful lives are as follows (dollars in thousands):
| Estimated Life (years) |  |
Customer relationships | 7 |  | $ | 78,842 |
During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, we finalized our valuation of the customer relationship intangible asset, resulting in an increase of the intangible asset and decrease to goodwill of approximately $30.8 million, compared to the preliminary provisional value that was recorded at September 30, 2016. The APC goodwill is a result of acquiring and retaining the APC existing workforce and expected synergies from integrating their business into ours. Purchase accounting is considered preliminary, subject to revision primarily related to certain potential post-closing and working capital adjustments, as final information was not available as of December 31, 2016. The goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations of APC have been included in our consolidated financial statements since October 1, 2016. Pro forma financial information for prior periods is not presented because we believe the acquisition to be not material to our consolidated results. On January 1, 2015, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Freightquote.com, Inc., (“Freightquote”) for the purpose of enhancing our less than truckload (“LTL”) and truckload businesses and expanding our ecommerce capabilities. Total purchase consideration was $398.6 million, which was paid in cash. We used advances under the Credit Agreement to fund part of the cash consideration. The following is a summary of the allocation of purchase consideration to the estimated fair value of net assets for the acquisition of Freightquote (in thousands):
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 29,302 |
Receivables | 56,228 |
Other current assets | 2,395 |
Property and equipment | 43,687 |
Identifiable intangible assets | 37,800 |
Goodwill | 287,220 |
Trademarks | 8,600 |
Other noncurrent assets | 3,421 |
Total assets | 468,653 |
Accounts payable | (44,622 | )
Accrued expenses | (5,485 | )
Other liabilities | (19,939 | )
Net assets acquired | $ | 398,607 |
Following are the details of the purchase price allocated to the intangible assets acquired (dollars in thousands):
| Estimated Life (years) |  |
Customer relationships | 5 |  | $ | 37,500 |
Noncompete agreements | 5 |  | 300 |
Total identifiable intangible assets |  |  | $ | 37,800 |
We also acquired a trademark valued at $8.6 million, which has been determined to be indefinite-lived. The Freightquote goodwill is a result of acquiring and retaining the Freightquote existing workforce and expected synergies from integrating their business in C.H. Robinson. Purchase accounting is considered final. The goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes. On an unaudited pro forma basis, assuming the Freightquote acquisition had closed on January 1, 2014, the results of C.H. Robinson including Freightquote, would have resulted in the following (in thousands):
| Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2014
| C.H. Robinson as Reported |  | Freightquote Operations |  | Combined Pro Forma
Total revenues | $ | 13,470,067 |  |  | $ | 623,245 |  |  | $ | 14,093,312 |
Income from operations | 748,418 |  |  | 24,131 |  |  | 772,549 |
Freightquote pro forma financial information includes the following adjustments for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 (in thousands):
Additional amortization expense on identifiable intangible assets | $ | (7,560 | )
Contractual changes in compensation | 1,973 |
Additional compensation paid by sellers | 2,627 |
Accounting policy changes | 1,303 |
Third party advisory fees paid by sellers | 5,355 |
Other | 2,196 |
The pro forma consolidated information was prepared for comparative purposes only and includes certain adjustments, as noted above. The adjustments are estimates based on currently available information, and actual amounts may have differed from these estimates. They do not reflect the effect of costs or synergies that would have been expected to result from the integration of the acquisition. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of each period presented or of future results of the consolidated entity. The results of operations and financial condition of Freightquote have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date of January 1, 2015.
