Business Acquisitions	Mar. 31, 2021
Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Acquisitions	Business Acquisitions The Company uses acquisitions as a strategy to grow its customer base by increasing its presence in new and existing markets, expand and diversify its service offerings, enhance its technology, and acquire skilled personnel. The Company completed an immaterial media acquisition during the first three months of fiscal 2021, paying the purchase price in cash. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations since the date of the acquisition and balance sheet as of March 31, 2021, reflect the results of operations of the 2021 acquisition. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, this acquisition contributed an immaterial amount to the Company’s revenues. Net income contributed by this acquisition was not separately identifiable due to J2 Global’s integration activities and is impracticable to provide. Total consideration for this transaction was $0.2 million, net of cash acquired and assumed liabilities and is subject to certain post-closing adjustments which may increase or decrease the final consideration paid. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the purchase price accounting has been finalized for immaterial digital media, consumer privacy and protection, email marketing, and fax businesses. The initial accounting for the 2021 acquisition is incomplete and subject to change. J2 Global has recorded provisional amounts which may be based upon past acquisitions with similar attributes for certain intangible assets (including trade names, software and customer relationships), preliminary acquisition date working capital and related tax items. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded adjustments to the initial working capital and to the purchase accounting due to the finalization of prior period acquisitions in the Digital Media business, which resulted in a net increase in goodwill of $2.5 million. In addition, the Company recorded adjustments to the initial working capital and to the purchase accounting due to the finalization of prior period acquisitions in the Voice, Backup, Security and CPP businesses which resulted in a net increase in goodwill of $0.3 million (see Note 8 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets). Such adjustments had an immaterial impact on the amortization expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and represents intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill recognized associated with these acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2021 is zero, of which zero is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
