Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations HCL acquisition On March 5, 2020, Federated Hermes acquired, effective as of March 1, 2020, 100 percent ownership of HGPE Capital Limited for £15.9 million ($20.4 million). The principal activity of HGPE Capital Limited is that of a holding company for an infrastructure and private equity investment management business. As a result of the acquisition of HGPE Capital Limited, Federated Hermes gained control of Hermes GPE LLP (HGPE) (collectively with HGPE Capital Limited, HCL). The addition of London-based HCL provides the opportunity to further accelerate and broaden Federated Hermes' global growth. The HCL acquisition included upfront cash payments that totaled £11.2 million ($14.3 million). The transaction also includes contingent purchase price payments payable through December 2024 that were deposited into escrow. The maximum contingent purchase price payments total £3.5 million ($4.5 million as of March 1, 2020), which represents the payment of certain future carried interest, recorded in Other Long-Term Liabilities. Prior to March 1, 2020, Federated Hermes accounted for its partial ownership interest in HGPE as an equity-method investment recorded in Other Long-Term Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management used an independent valuation expert to assist in estimating the fair value of the equity interest in HGPE using primarily the discounted cash flow methodology under the income approach. The acquisition-date fair value of the previous equity interest was $34.5 million. Federated Hermes recognized a gain of $7.5 million as a result of remeasuring the prior equity interest in HGPE held before the business combination and the consolidation of HGPE. This gain is included in Other, net - Nonoperating Income (Expenses) on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Federated Hermes performed a valuation of the fair market value of the HCL acquisition. Due to the timing of the acquisition and the status of the valuation work, the valuation of intangible assets, redeemable noncontrolling interest in subsidiary, goodwill and the deferred tax liability are preliminary. Although preliminary results of the valuation are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2020 and for the three and seven months then ended, the final purchase price allocation may reflect adjustments to this preliminary valuation and such adjustments may be material. Provisional amounts will be finalized as new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed on March 1, 2020. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation determined as of the purchase date:
(in millions) |  |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |  | $ | 14.0 |
Other Current Assets 1 |  | 11.3 |
Goodwill 2 |  | 19.1 |
Intangible Assets 3 |  | 27.6 |
Other Long-Term Assets |  | 9.8 |
Less: Liabilities Acquired |  | (26.9) |
Less: Fair Value of Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest in Subsidiary 4 |  | (34.5) |
Total Purchase Price Consideration |  | $ | 20.4 |
1 Includes $4.6 million of accounts receivable. 2 The goodwill recognized is attributable to enhanced revenue and AUM growth opportunities from future investors and the assembled workforce of HGPE. In this instance, goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. 3 Includes $20.3 million for rights to manage fund assets for private equity funds with a weighted-average useful life of 9.0 years and $6.9 million for rights to manage fund assets for infrastructure funds with a weighted-average useful life of 11.0 years, all of which are recorded in Intangible Assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 4 The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined utilizing primarily the discounted cash flow methodology under the income approach. The financial results of HCL have been included in Federated Hermes' Consolidated Financial Statements from the March 1, 2020 effective date of the HCL acquisition. For the three and seven months ended September 30, 2020, HCL earned revenue of $10.4 million and $23.2 million, respectively, and net income of $3.1 million and $7.0 million, respectively (which excludes acquisition-related intangible amortization and does not take into consideration the amounts attributable to the noncontrolling interests). MEPC acquisitionEffective January 1, 2020, Federated Hermes acquired MEPC Limited (MEPC) for £9.9 million ($13.1 million). MEPC provides real estate development services in the UK. The MEPC acquisition included upfront cash payments of £4.4 million ($5.9 million) and deferred consideration and contingent purchase price payments totaling £5.5 million ($7.2 million), which were recorded in Other Current Liabilities. As of the date of the MEPC acquisition, Hermes primarily recorded intangible assets of $7.3 million and goodwill of $1.7 million. Due to the timing of the acquisition and the status of the valuation work, the accounting for the business combination is preliminary.
