Business Acquisitions and Dispositions | 3. Business Acquisitions and Dispositions Crawford Compliance Inc. Disposition On June 1, 2020, the Company sold its 51% interest in Crawford Compliance Inc. to a third party in exchange for a note receivable. The Company recognized a loss on the disposal of this entity of $912,000 in 2020. The results of Crawford Compliance Inc. were not material to the Company. Lloyd Warwick International Disposition On June 12, 2020, the Company sold its 51% interest in Lloyd Warwick International (“LWI”) to a third party for cash proceeds of $19,600,000 and payment of $3,600,000 to settle intercompany indebtedness. The Company recognized an additional $700,000 related to net working capital adjustments under the terms of the acquisition agreement, which increased the purchase price to $20,300,000. The Company recognized a total gain of $14,700,000 ($11,700,000 net of tax) on the disposition for the year ended December 31, 2020. WeGoLook, LLC Acquisition On July 21, 2020, the Company acquired the remaining 15% membership interests of WeGoLook, LLC for $310,000. The Company accounted for this subsequent acquisition as an equity transaction in accordance with ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”. The non-compete agreements with the former minority members were terminated under the terms of the purchase agreement. As a result, the Company recognized $1,100,000 of accelerated amortization on the non-compete agreement in 2020. Crawford Carvallo Acquisition On October 1, 2020, the Company acquired most of the remaining 85% equity interests in Crawford Carvallo ("Carvallo") and its subsidiaries. Crawford Carvallo is a leading provider of loss adjusting, claims management solutions and legal services in Chile. The Company held a 15% interest in Crawford Carvallo prior to this acquisition. In 2020, the Company recognized a pretax gain of $1,099,000 from the remeasurement of the previously held noncontrolling interest to the $3,047,000 fair value. The acquisition was funded primarily through additional borrowings under the Company's credit facility. The purchase price includes an initial cash payment of $11,583,000 and a maximum of $11,700,000 payable over the next six years based on achievement of certain EBITDA performance goals as set forth in the purchase agreement. The acquisition accounting is based on the fair value of the acquisition consideration transferred to the sellers, assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration payable was estimated to be $5,808,000. At December 31, 2021, there were no material changes in the range of expected outcomes or the fair value of the contingent consideration from the acquisition date. Significant assumptions and estimates used in the valuation of intangible assets and contingent consideration included, but were not limited to future expected cash flows, including projected revenues and expenses, estimated customer attrition rates, and the applicable discount rates. These assumptions and estimates were level 3 inputs and based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable. However, actual results may differ from these estimates. Final acquisition accounting for this acquisition was completed as of December 31, 2021. Adjustments recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021 include an additional goodwill and deferred tax liability of $2,237,000. The financial results of certain of the Company’s international subsidiaries, including Crawford Carvallo, are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a two-month delayed basis. Crawford Carvallo reported $21,185,000 of revenue in the Loss Adjusting and TPA Solutions segments during the year ended December 31, 2021. Goodwill is attributable to the synergies of the work force in place and business resources as a result of the combination of the companies. The Company does not expect that goodwill attributable to the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes. HBA Group Acquisition On November 1, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of HBA Group and its subsidiaries ("HBA") in Australia. HBA is a legal services provider that will complement the Company’s Crawford TPA Solutions segment in Australia. The acquisition was funded primarily through additional borrowings under the Company's credit facility. The purchase price includes an initial cash payment of $4,026,000 and a maximum of $3,200,000 payable over the next four years based on achievement of certain revenue and EBITDA performance goals as set forth in the purchase agreement. The acquisition accounting is based on the fair value of the acquisition consideration transferred to the sellers, assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration payable was estimated to be $2,409,000. At December 31, 2021, there were no material changes in the range of expected outcomes or the fair value of the contingent consideration from the acquisition date. Significant assumptions and estimates used in the valuation of intangible assets and contingent consideration included, but were not limited to future expected cash flows, including projected revenues and expenses, estimated customer attrition rates, and the applicable discount rates. These assumptions and estimates were level 3 inputs and based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable. However, actual results may differ from these estimates. The Company is in the process of finalizing the review of deferred tax liabilities in connection with the acquisition. As additional information becomes available, the Company may further revise its preliminary acquisition accounting during the remainder of the measurement period, which will not exceed 12 months from the date of acquisition. The Company may update certain assumptions and inputs to incorporate additional information obtained subsequent to the closing of the transaction related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The financial results of certain of the Company’s international subsidiaries, including HBA, are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a two-month delayed basis. HBA reported $8,800,000 of revenue in the TPA Solutions segment during the year ended December 31, 2021.
