Business Combinations BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
As part of our ongoing strategy to expand geographically and increase market share in certain markets, as well as diversify our products and end markets, we completed seven, nine and eight business combinations during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We also completed four, two and one insignificant bolt-on acquisitions merged into existing operations during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Acquisition-related costs amounted to $2.5 million, $2.2 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are included in administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In addition, we recognized gains on acquisition earnouts in administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, due to probability assessments and the cancellations of acquisition-related earnouts. We did not recognize any gains on acquisition earnouts during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Below is a summary of each significant acquisition by year, including revenue and net income (loss) since date of acquisition, shown for the year of acquisition. The largest of our 2025 acquisitions was Carolina Precision ACP, LLC ("Carolina Precision Fibers") in September 2025. Carolina Precision Fibers manufactures cellulose insulation and industrial fibers and was assigned to our Manufacturing operating segment. The largest of our 2024 acquisitions were Euroview Enterprises, LLC and Contract Mirror and Supply, LLC (collectively, "Euroview") in July 2024, Wholesale Insulation Supply, Inc. ("Insulation Supplies") in October 2024 and Tatum Insulation III, LLC ("Tatum") in November 2024. Insulation Supplies sells various insulation products and equipment to customers so it was assigned to our Distribution operating segment. In each table, “Other” represents acquisitions that were individually immaterial in that year. Net income (loss), as noted below, includes intangible asset amortization, taxes and interest allocations when appropriate.

The goodwill recognized in conjunction with these business combinations represents the excess cost of the acquired entity over the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed (including the identifiable intangible assets). The goodwill recognized for Carolina Precision Fibers represents the added value from strategic growth of our Manufacturing operating segment, increased capacity, and expansion of product portfolios and business territory we anticipate from the acquisition. The goodwill recognized for Euroview and Tatum represents the advantage of their respective product lines, human capital, geographic presence and other benefits that are expected to be achieved from the acquisitions. The goodwill recognized for Insulation Supplies reflects the benefits derived from the expansion of our Distribution operating segment, further diversification of revenue streams and other efficiencies we anticipate to accomplish from the acquisition. The goodwill recognized for Anchor reflects the value of its location, revenue enhancements, assembled workforce and other synergies that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. We expect to deduct $15.7 million of goodwill for tax purposes as a result of 2025 acquisitions.
Contingent consideration, non-compete agreements and/or amounts based on working capital calculations are included as “seller obligations” in the above table or within “fair value of assets acquired” if subsequently paid during the period presented. Contingent consideration payments consist primarily of earnouts based on performance that are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. When these payments are expected to be made over one year from the acquisition date, the contingent consideration is discounted to net present value of future payments based on a weighted average of various future forecast scenarios.
Further adjustments to the allocation for each acquisition still under its measurement period are expected as third-party or internal valuations are finalized, certain tax aspects of the transaction are completed and customary post-closing reviews are concluded during the measurement period attributable to each individual business combination. As a result, adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired, and in some cases total purchase price, have been made to certain business combinations since the date of acquisition and future adjustments may be made through the end of each measurement period. Any acquisition acquired after December 31, 2024 is deemed to be within the measurement period and its purchase price considered preliminary.
Goodwill and intangibles per the above table may not agree to the total gross increases of these assets as shown in Note 7, Goodwill and Intangibles, during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 due to minor adjustments to goodwill for the allocation of certain acquisitions still under measurement as well as other immaterial intangible assets added during the ordinary course of business. All of the goodwill for Carolina Precision Fibers was assigned to our Manufacturing operating segment and all of the goodwill for Insulation Supplies was assigned to our Distribution operating segment. All other acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 other than one immaterial acquisition in each of 2025 and 2024, respectively, had their respective goodwill assigned to our Installation operating segment.
