We account for franchise value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. We expect $14.1 million of the goodwill recognized in 2015 to be deductible for tax purposes. In 2014, we recorded $1.9 million in acquisition expenses as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We did not have any material acquisition-related expenses in 2015 or 2013. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1 of the previous year (in thousands, except for per share amounts):
Year Ended December 31, |  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |
Revenue |  | $ | 7,999,256 |  |  | $ | 7,333,480 |
Income from continuing operations, net of tax |  |  | 182,131 |  |  |  | 147,975 |
Basic income per share from continuing operations, net of tax |  |  | 6.93 |  |  |  | 5.66 |
Diluted income per share from continuing operations, net of tax |  |  | 6.88 |  |  |  | 5.61 |
These amounts have been calculated by applying our accounting policies and estimates. The results of the acquired stores have been adjusted to reflect the following: depreciation on a straight-line basis over the expected lives for property, plant and equipment; accounting for inventory on a specific identification method; and recognition of interest expense for real estate financing related to stores where we purchased the facility. No nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the acquisitions are included in the reported pro forma revenues and earnings.
