​ The estimates of fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, pending finalization of the valuation and tax returns, thus are subject to revisions that may result in adjustments to the value presented above. The Avtex customer relationships, intellectual property intangible, and tradename have been estimated based on the initial valuation and will be amortized over estimated useful lives of 9, 3, and 1 years, respectively. The goodwill recognized from the Avtex acquisition is estimated to be attributable, but not limited to, the acquired workforce and expected synergies with the TTEC Digital segment. The tax basis of the acquired intangibles and goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquired goodwill and intangibles and operating results of Avtex are reported within the TTEC Digital segment from the date of acquisition. Voice Foundry On August 5, 2020, TTEC Digital, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, closed the first phase of the acquisition of the Voice Foundry business by acquiring 100% of the business’s net assets in the U.S. and U.K., (the “VF US Transaction”). Voice Foundry is a preferred Amazon Connect cloud contact center service and implementation partner. The business has been integrated into the TTEC Digital segment and is being fully consolidated into the financial statements of TTEC. Total cash paid at acquisition was $34.3 million. The VF US Transaction is subject to customary representations and warranties, holdbacks, and working capital adjustments. The VF US Transaction includes two contingent payments over the next two years with each payment having a maximum value of $7.4 million based on VF US’s EBITDA performance for 2020 and 2021. The Company finalized the net working capital adjustment for $0.3 million which was paid to Voice Foundry during the first quarter of 2021. The fair value of the contingent consideration has been estimated using a Monte Carlo model. The model was based on current expected EBITDA performance, a discount rate of 23.1%, a volatility rate of 47%, and an adjusted risk-free rate of 2.6%. Based on the model, a $10.9 million expected future payment was calculated and recorded as of the acquisition date. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2021, a $3.2 million expense, a $0.5 million expense and a $0.2 million expense, respectively, were recorded related to fair value adjustments of the estimated contingent consideration based on revised estimates of EBITDA performance for 2021. These expenses were included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). During the first quarter of 2021, the contingent payment related to 2020 was finalized at a value of $7.4 million and was paid in April 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the value of the accrual is $7.4 million and is included in Other accrued expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. A multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach was used to estimate the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset. The significant assumption utilized in calculating the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset was the customer attrition rate.

The Company finalized the net working capital adjustment for $0.2 million which will be paid from Voice Foundry during the third quarter of 2021. The fair value of the contingent consideration has been estimated using a Monte Carlo model. The model was based on current expected EBITDA performance, a discount rate of 18.4%, a volatility rate of 50%, and an adjusted risk-free rate of 1.6%.

The reported revenue and net income of $1,094.0 million and $97.8 million would have been $1,141.0 million and $100.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, on an unaudited proforma basis. For 2020, the reported revenue and net income of $885.3 million and $52.9 million would have been $977.3 million and $58.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, on an unaudited basis. The unaudited proforma consolidated results are not to be considered indicative of the results if these acquisitions occurred in the periods mentioned above, or indicative of future operations or results. Additionally, the proforma consolidated results do not reflect any anticipated synergies expected as a result of the acquisition. Dissolutions In the ordinary course of business, the Company operates different legal entities around the globe that have functional currencies other than USD. From time to time, the Company liquidates some of the entities when they are no longer needed to operate its business, and also forms new entities to support the needs of the business. The liquidation proceedings may take different forms, take considerable amount of time, and may also result in losses or gains unrelated to operations. In the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company exited a foreign subsidiary that resulted in a non-cash $2.5 million loss included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) from the realization of the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which represents the currency translation adjustment of the investment in the foreign subsidiary. Similarly, in the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company exited two foreign subsidiaries that ceased operations and were removed from the consolidated financial statements as of the reporting period ended September 30, 2020. As a result of the deconsolidation, a non-cash $17.4 million loss was included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The majority of this loss related to the realization of the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance which represents the currency translation adjustment of the investment in the foreign subsidiaries. The operating income of these subsidiaries prior to dissolution was not material to the year-to-date consolidated results of the Company.
