BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS [Abstract] |
Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | 5. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS During 2019, we completed three new strategic acquisitions, expanding our capabilities and increasing our presence in key regional markets. These strategic acquisitions are presented below.
Acquired Company | Quarter of Acquisition | Country | Primary Service Line
Latitude Real Estate Investors (Latitude) | Q1 | United States | LaSalle
Corporate Concierge Services (CCS) | Q1 | United States | Property & Facilities Management
HFF, Inc. (HFF) | Q3 | United States | Capital Markets
Acquisition of HFF On July 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of HFF, a public commercial real estate financial intermediary providing commercial real estate and capital markets services. The acquisition of HFF, regarded as one of the premier capital markets advisors in the industry, greatly enhances our existing capital markets services, significantly expands our client reach and aligns with our strategy to grow the capital markets business line. The existing HFF operations were predominantly within the U.S. along with one office in the UK. The following table details the total consideration transferred.
(in millions) | Amount
Cash consideration(1) | $ | 1,029.5 |
Share consideration(2) | 809.2 |
JLL RSUs issued to replace unvested HFF RSUs(3) | 32.0 |
Total consideration | $ | 1,870.7 |
(1) Exclusive of $262.8 million cash acquired. (2) Represents the fair value of JLL common stock issued to then-HFF stockholders. (3) Represents the allocation of expense to the pre-combination period; included within APIC. The cash and share consideration transferred were used to purchase all outstanding shares of HFF Class A common stock. We financed the cash portion of the purchase price with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing $2.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Facility"). For acquisition related costs refer to Note 12, Restructuring and Acquisition Charges. HFF is operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of JLL and conducts business as JLL. Our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, includes revenue of $184.5 million and operating income of $36.7 million related to the post-acquisition operations of HFF. The following table presents the allocation of acquisition consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of HFF based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. The goodwill relating to this acquisition is primarily attributable to assembled workforce and synergies. We have not completed our analysis to assign fair values to all tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired and, therefore, the purchase price allocation is preliminary. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation in advance of, but not later than, one year from the acquisition date.

The following table provides unaudited pro forma results of operations assuming the acquisition of HFF occurred as of January 1, 2018.
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions) | 2019 | 2018 |  | 2019 | 2018
Revenue | $ | 4,495.6 |  | 4,131.1 |  |  | $ | 12,908.0 |  | 11,871.0 |
Net income attributable to common shareholders | 167.2 |  | 140.8 |  |  | 305.1 |  | 277.9 |
These unaudited pro forma results of operations include adjustments for intangible amortization based on our current estimate of the fair value of identifiable intangibles acquired and their associated useful lives as well an adjustment to interest expense based on our estimate of interest that would have been incurred on the additional credit facility draw had these acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2018. A blended federal and state statutory tax rate of 27% has been assumed for the pro forma adjustments. These estimated adjustments, net of tax, were $38.3 million and $6.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $(23.7) million and $(76.1) million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are subject to change within the measurement period because of the fair value assessments these adjustments are based on are not finalized. In addition, these unaudited pro forma results do not reflect the cost of integration activities or benefits that may result from potential synergies derived from the acquisition. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of what results would have been had we acquired HFF on January 1, 2018, nor indicative of our future operating results. The following is a summary of the preliminary estimate of the finite-lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the HFF acquisition.
Intangible Asset Class ($ in millions) | Weighted Average Amortization Period | Fair Value at Acquisition Date
Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) | 6.2 years | $ | 156.7 |
Other identified intangibles 1 | 6.0 years | 193.2 |
Total finite-lived intangibles acquired |  | $ | 349.9 |
1 Predominantly relates to customer relationships. Other 2019 Business Combinations Activity Aggregate terms of our acquisitions, other than HFF, included: (1) cash paid at closing of $28.3 million (net of $3.8 million in cash acquired), (2) guaranteed deferred consideration of $6.5 million, and (3) contingent earn-out consideration of $1.5 million, which we will pay upon satisfaction of certain performance conditions and which we have initially recorded at their respective acquisition date fair value. A preliminary allocation of purchase consideration for these other acquisitions resulted in goodwill of $39.3 million, identifiable intangibles of $10.1 million, other net liabilities (assumed liabilities less acquired assets) of $4.7 million, and redeemable noncontrolling interest of $8.4 million. As of September 30, 2019, we have not completed our analysis to assign fair values to all of the identifiable intangible and tangible assets acquired and, therefore, we may further refine the purchase price allocations for our other 2019 acquisitions during their open measurement periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we paid $59.9 million for deferred business acquisition and earn-out obligations for acquisitions completed in prior years. 2018 Business Combination Activity During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we made adjustments to our preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration for certain acquisitions completed during the second half of 2018. These adjustments resulted in a $1.0 million increase to goodwill, a $0.5 million increase to intangibles and a $1.5 million adjustment to other net liabilities. As of September 30, 2019, we have completed our analysis to assign fair values to all the identifiable intangible and tangible assets acquired for our 2018 acquisitions. Earn-Out Payments
($ in millions) | September 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
Number of acquisitions with earn-out payments subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria | 48 |  |  | 54 |
Maximum earn-out payments (undiscounted) | $ | 289.5 |  |  | 407.3 |
Short-term earn-out liabilities (fair value)1 | 74.1 |  |  | 50.9 |
Long-term earn-out liabilities (fair value)1 | 99.7 |  |  | 141.1 |
1 Included in Short-term and Long-term acquisition-related obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets Assuming the achievement of the applicable performance criteria, we anticipate making these earn-out payments over the next six years. Refer to Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, and Note 12, Restructuring and Acquisition Charges, for additional discussion of our earn-out liabilities. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and unamortized intangibles as of September 30, 2019 consisted of: (1) goodwill of $4,083.2 million, (2) identifiable intangibles of $625.6 million amortized over their remaining finite useful lives, and (3) $50.0 million of identifiable intangibles with indefinite useful lives that are not amortized. Notable portions of our goodwill and unamortized intangibles are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which means a portion of the movements in the reported book value of these balances is attributable to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The following tables detail, by reporting segment, movements in goodwill.
