The partnership acquired property, plant, and equipment of $1.8 billion, including $0.8 billion of remeasured lease assets. The property, plant and equipment was valued using the depreciated replacement cost method with key inputs of replacement cost and remaining economic life. The remeasured lease assets were valued based on the present value of future lease payments over the remaining lease term, with key inputs of lease term, lease payments and discount rate. Additionally, the partnership acquired $0.6 billion of intangible assets, primarily composed of customer relationships. The acquired customer relationship assets were valued with key inputs of revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, and a discount rate determined using a capital asset pricing model and have an estimated useful life of 20 years.
The goodwill recorded on acquisition is largely reflective of potential to achieve growth over time, supported by underlying growth and expansion of the services we provide and markets we operate in. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for income tax purposes.
