Acquisitions	Acquisitions Pro forma financial information related to these acquisitions has not been provided as it is not material to our consolidated results of operations. Fiscal Year 2023 On November 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of an immaterial business included in our Academic segment.

The allocation of the total consideration transferred to the assets acquired, including intangible assets and goodwill, and the liabilities assumed could be revised as a result of additional information obtained due to tax related matters and contingencies and certain assets and liabilities, including receivables and payables, but such amounts will be finalized within the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
