Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Acquisitions | 7. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS In line with the Company’s strategic growth initiatives, the Company acquired certain businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and during the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of each of those acquired businesses are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. Each transaction qualified as an acquisition of a business and was accounted for as a business combination. All acquisitions resulted in the recognition of goodwill. The Company paid these premiums resulting in such goodwill for a number of reasons, including expected synergies from combining operations of the acquiree and the Company while also growing the Company’s customer base, acquiring assembled workforces, expanding its presence in certain markets and expanding and advancing its product and service offerings. The Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value, with the difference between the fair value of the net assets acquired and the acquisition consideration reflected as goodwill. The identifiable intangible assets for significant acquisitions are valued using the excess earnings method discounted cash flow approach for customer relationships, the relief from royalty method for trade names, the patent and external proprietary software and developed technology, the “with and without” method for covenants not to compete and the replacement cost method for the internal proprietary software by incorporating Level 3 inputs as described under the fair value hierarchy of ASC 820. These unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about which assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset on a non-recurring basis. These assets will be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. Other purchase price obligations (primarily deferred purchase price liabilities and target working capital liabilities or receivables) are included on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, other non-current liabilities or accounts receivable-net in the case of working capital deficits. Contingent consideration outstanding from acquisitions are included on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position in business acquisition contingent consideration, current or in business acquisitions contingent consideration, long-term. The contingent consideration elements of the purchase price of the acquisitions are related to earn-outs which are based on the expected achievement of revenue or earnings thresholds as of the date of the acquisition and for which the maximum potential amount is limited. The Company considers several factors when determining whether or not contingent consideration liabilities are part of the purchase price, including the following: (i) the valuation of its acquisitions is not supported solely by the initial consideration paid, (ii) the former stockholders of acquired companies that remain as key employees receive compensation other than contingent consideration payments at a reasonable level compared with the compensation of the Company’s other key employees and (iii) contingent consideration payments are not affected by employment termination. The Company reviews and assesses the estimated fair value of contingent consideration at each reporting period. The Company may be required to make up to $7.7 million in aggregate earn-out payments between the years 2023 and 2026 in connection with certain of its business acquisitions, of which up to $0.8 million may be paid only in cash, up to $5.5 million may be paid only in common stock and up to $1.5 million may be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or common stock. Transaction costs related to business combinations totaled $2.7 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. These costs are expensed within selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
