Acquisition and divestitures

Further information regarding this acquisition can be found under the caption "Note 6: Acquisitions" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the 2021 Form 10-K. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we finalized the purchase price allocation for this acquisition and we recorded measurement-period adjustments that increased deferred income tax liabilities by $1,343, with the offset to goodwill.

The above results include restructuring and integration costs of $2,787 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and $5,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Pro forma financial information – During the first quarter of 2022, we identified errors in the previously reported pro forma results of operations related to the First American acquisition. These errors related to the amount of historical First American revenue and net income (loss) included for the pre-acquisition periods, as well as errors in the adjustments related to the amortization of acquired intangibles, interest expense on the acquisition financing and transaction costs.

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021, these corrections decreased pro forma revenue by $27,595 from the amounts previously reported. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, these corrections decreased pro forma revenue by $26,335 and $3,027, respectively, from the amounts previously reported. The corrections to adjusted pro forma net income (loss) attributable to Deluxe from the amounts previously reported were as follows:

The unaudited pro forma financial information was prepared in accordance with our accounting policies, which can be found under the caption "Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the 2021 Form 10-K. The pro forma information includes adjustments to reflect the additional amortization that would have been recorded assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied from January 1, 2020. The pro forma information also includes adjustments to reflect the additional interest expense on the debt we issued to fund the acquisition, and the acquisition transaction costs we incurred during 2021 are reflected in the 2020 pro forma results.

This pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only. It does not reflect the integration of the businesses or any synergies that may result from the acquisition. As such, it is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated on January 1, 2020. In addition, the pro forma amounts are not indicative of future operating results.

Divestitures In May 2022, we completed the sale of our Australian web hosting business for cash proceeds of $17,620, net of costs of the sale. This business generated annual revenue in our Cloud Solutions segment of $23,766 for 2021. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a pretax gain of $15,166 on this sale. The assets and liabilities sold were not significant to our consolidated balance sheet.
In April 2022, we sold substantially all of the assets of our Promotional Solutions strategic sourcing business, and in August 2022, we sold substantially all of our Promotional Solutions retail packaging business.These businesses generated annual revenue of approximately $30,000 during 2021. The impact of the sale of the strategic sourcing business was not significant to our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and we do not expect that the impact of the retail packaging sales transaction will be significant to our consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the sale of these businesses will allow us to focus our resources on the key growth areas of payments and data, while allowing us to optimize our operations.

Facility sale In May 2022, we sold our former facility located in Lancaster, California for cash proceeds of $6,929, net of costs of the sale, and we recognized a pretax gain on the sale of $2,361 during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The sale was a result of our continued real estate rationalization process.
