BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
2020 Business Combinations Activity
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we completed no new acquisitions and paid $12.9 million for deferred business acquisition and earn-out obligations for acquisitions completed in prior years.
2019 Business Combination Activity
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made no adjustments to our preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration for certain acquisitions completed in 2019. As of March 31, 2020, we have completed our analysis to assign fair values to all the identifiable intangible and tangible assets acquired for our 2019 acquisitions, with the exception of tax-related accounts with respect to our acquisition of HFF, Inc.

Assuming the achievement of the applicable performance criteria, we anticipate making these earn-out payments over the next five years. Refer to Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, and Note 11, Restructuring and Acquisition Charges, for additional discussion of our earn-out liabilities.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and unamortized intangibles as of March 31, 2020 consisted of: (1) goodwill of $4,104.3 million, (2) identifiable intangibles of $608.7 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.
