7. | ACQUISITION OF LEW THOMPSON & SON TRUCKING, LLC
On April 26, 2023, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of LTST and related entities, headquartered in Huntsville, AR. LTST is a dedicated contract carrier specializing in poultry feed and live haul transportation in Northwest Arkansas and surrounding areas and was acquired to expand the Dedicated reportable segment into this niche market. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was $114.5 million. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions. The Stock Purchase Agreement includes an earnout component of up to an aggregate of $30.0 million based on LTST's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization reported for the first, second, and third calendar years following closing. The total purchase, including any earnout achieved, is expected to range from $114.5 million to $134.5 million depending on the results achieved by LTST. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:
|  | April 26, 2023 |
(in thousands) |  |  |  |
Cash paid pursuant to Stock Purchase Agreement |  | $ | 105,282 |
Cash acquired included in historical book value of LTST's assets and liabilities |  |  | (839 | )
Contingent consideration |  |  | 10,016 |
Net purchase price |  | $ | 114,459 |
The contingent consideration arrangement requires us to pay a total of up to $30.0 million of additional consideration to LTST's former shareholders based on LTST's results during the first three calendar years following closing. We estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using a probability-weighted model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Refer to Note 3, "Fair Value of Financial Instruments" for information regarding changes in the contingent consideration arrangement. Because of our 338(h)10 election, all goodwill related to the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes, and there are no deferred income taxes arising from the acquisition. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.
(in thousands) |  | April 26, 2023 |
Accounts receivable |  | $ | 4,848 |
Driver advances and other receivables |  |  | 98 |

Long-term portion of operating lease obligations |  |  | (2,103 | )

Net identifiable assets acquired |  |  | 97,204 |
Goodwill |  |  | 17,255 |
Net assets acquired |  | $ | 114,459 |
Since acquisition we recognized measurement period adjustments which increased goodwill recognized for LTST by $4.9 million, primarily related to the Section 338(h)10 election to $17.3 million as of December 31, 2024. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected cost synergies in the areas of fuel and purchases of revenue equipment. Refer to Note 9, "Goodwill and Other Assets" for a summary of changes to goodwill during the period as well as information related to the identifiable intangible asset acquired. LTST's results have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition and are reported within our Dedicated reportable segment. The amounts of revenue and earnings of LTST included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations from the acquisition date to the period ended December 31, 2024 are as follows:
(in thousands) |  | Year Ended |  |  | Year Ended |
|  | December 31, 2024 |  |  | December 31, 2023 |
Total revenue |  | $ | 126,288 |  |  | $ | 41,838 |
Net income |  | $ | 3,337 |  |  | $ | 4,726 |
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations assume that the acquisition of LTST occurred as of January 1, 2022:
(in thousands) |  | Year Ended |  |  | Year Ended |  |  | Year Ended |
|  | December 31, 2024 |  |  | December 31, 2023 |  |  | December 31, 2022 |
Total revenue |  | $ | 1,131,476 |  |  | $ | 1,124,492 |  |  | $ | 1,281,504 |
Net income |  | $ | 35,921 |  |  | $ | 57,592 |  |  | $ | 121,943 |
Basic net income per share |  | $ | 1.37 |  |  | $ | 2.21 |  |  | $ | 4.07 |
Diluted net income per share |  | $ | 1.30 |  |  | $ | 2.08 |  |  | $ | 3.93 |
The pro forma financial information for all periods presented above has been calculated after adjusting the results of LTST to reflect the business combination accounting effects resulting from this acquisition, including the amortization expense from acquired intangible assets as though the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2022. As noted above, the allocation is preliminary and changes to the value of the contingent consideration and finalization of our valuation could result in changes to the amount of amortization expense from acquired intangible assets included in the pro forma financial information presented above. The Company's historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the business combination and factually supportable. The pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the Company’s fiscal 2022.
