Acquisitions | Note 18. Acquisitions 2016 During the year ended December 31, 2016, we acquired substantially all of the non-attest assets of six businesses; Millimaki Eggert, L.L.P. (“Millimaki”), The Savitz Organization (“Savitz”), Flex-Pay Business Services, Inc. (Flex-Pay”), Ed Jacobs & Associates, Inc. (“EJ&A”), Actuarial Consultants, Inc. (“ACI”) and The Seff Group, P.C. (“Seff”). Aggregate consideration for such acquisitions was approximately $40.0 million in cash, $2.1 million in CBIZ common stock, and $21.1 million in contingent consideration. Under the terms of the acquisition agreements, a portion of the purchase price is contingent on future performance of the businesses acquired. The maximum potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that we could be required to make under the contingent arrangements is $23.5 million. We are required to record the fair value of this obligation at the acquisition date. Utilizing a probability weighted income approach, we determined that the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was $21.1 million, of which $6.6 million was recorded in “Contingent purchase price liability — current” and $14.5 million was recorded in “Contingent purchase price liability — non-current” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2016. Annualized revenue for these acquisitions is estimated to be approximately $41.2 million.

The goodwill of $34.8 million, $13.5 million and $51.9 million arising from the acquisitions in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, consists largely of expected future earnings and cash flows from the existing management team, as well as the synergies created by the integration of the new businesses within the CBIZ organization, including cross-selling opportunities expected with our Financial Services group and the Benefit and Insurance Services group, to help strengthen our existing service offerings and expand our market position. All of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes for 2016 and 2015, while substantially all of the goodwill is deductible for 2014. Client Lists In 2016, we purchased seven client lists, one of which is recorded in the Financial Services practice group and six of which are reported in the Benefit and Insurance Services practice group. Total consideration for these client lists was $1.2 million cash paid at closing and an additional $1.2 million in guaranteed future consideration, and $1.5 million which is contingent upon future financial performance of the client list. We purchased six client lists in 2015, all of which are reported in the Benefit and Insurance Services practice group. Total consideration for these client lists was $2.8 million cash paid at closing and an additional $0.8 million in guaranteed future consideration, and $0.1 million which is contingent upon future financial performance of the client list. In 2014, we purchased four client lists, three of which are reported in the Financial Services practice group and one of which is recorded in the Benefit and Insurance Services practice group. Total consideration for these client lists was $1.0 million cash paid at closing and an additional $0.2 million in cash, which is contingent upon future financial performance of the client list. Contingent Earnouts for Previous Acquisitions Under the terms of the acquisition agreements, we pay cash consideration and issue shares of CBIZ common stock as contingent earnout for previous acquisitions. In 2016, we paid $7.1 million in cash and issued approximately 0.4 million shares of common stock. In 2015, we paid $12.0 million in cash and issued approximately 0.3 million shares of common stock and in 2014, we paid $4.6 million in cash and issued approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock. Change in Contingent Purchase Price Liability for Previous Acquisitions In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” we are required to evaluate in subsequent reporting periods the fair value of contingent consideration related to previous acquisitions. We decreased the fair value of the contingent purchase price liability related to prior acquisitions in 2016, by $1.3 million, due to lower than originally projected future results of the acquired businesses. In 2015 and 2014, we decreased the fair value of the contingent purchase price liability by $2.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively. These decreases are included as income in “Other income, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. For further discussion on contingent purchase price liabilities, refer to Note 6, Fair Value Measurements, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
