2018 acquisition

Effective June 12, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of TMP Holdings LTD (“TMP”), through our subsidiary PeopleScout, Inc. for a cash purchase price of $22.7 million, net of cash acquired of $7.0 million. TMP is a mid-sized RPO and employer branding service provider operating in the United Kingdom. This acquisition increases our ability to win multi-continent engagements by adding a physical presence in Europe, referenceable clients and employer branding capabilities.

We incurred acquisition and integration-related costs of $1.6 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 29, 2019 and December 30, 2018, respectively, which were included in SG&A expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table reflects the allocation of the purchase price, net of cash acquired, to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:


(in thousands)	Purchase price allocation
Cash purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	22,742

Accounts receivable	9,770
Prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets	337
Property and equipment	435
Customer relationships	6,286
Trade names/trademarks	1,738
Total assets acquired	18,566

Accounts payable and other accrued expenses	9,139
Accrued wages and benefits	1,642
Income tax payable	205
Deferred income tax liability	1,444
Total liabilities assumed	12,430

Net identifiable assets acquired	6,136
Goodwill (1)	16,606
Total consideration allocated	$	22,742

(1) Goodwill represents the expected synergies with our existing business, the acquired assembled workforce, potential new clients and future cash flows after the acquisition of TMP, and is non-deductible for income tax purposes.

Intangible assets include identifiable intangible assets for customer relationships and trade names/trademarks. We estimated the fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets, which are subject to amortization, using the income approach.

The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets, their estimated fair values and useful lives as of June 12, 2018:


(in thousands, except for estimated useful lives, in years)	Estimated fair value		Estimated useful life in years
Customer relationships - other	$	2,809	3
Customer relationships - RPO	3,477		7
Trade names/trademarks	1,738		14
Total acquired identifiable intangible assets	$	8,024

The results of TMP’s operations and cash flows reported for 2018 on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows relate to the period from June 12, 2018 to December 30, 2018. Revenue from TMP included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) was $31.0 million from the acquisition date to December 30, 2018, and $51.3 million and $46.0 million for the years ended December 29, 2019 and December 27, 2020, respectively. The acquisition of TMP was immaterial to our consolidated results of operations and as such, pro forma financial information was not required.

2018 divestiture

Effective March 12, 2018, we divested substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of PlaneTechs, LLC (“PlaneTechs”) for a sales price of $11.4 million, of which $8.5 million was paid in cash, and $1.6 million in a note receivable, with monthly principal payments of $0.1 million beginning in April 2018. The balance was fully repaid as of December 29, 2019. The remaining purchase price balance consisted of the preliminary working capital adjustment, which was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The company recognized a pre-tax gain on the divestiture of $0.7 million, which was included in interest and other income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 30, 2018. Fiscal first quarter revenue through the closing date of the divestiture for the PlaneTechs business of $8.0 million was reported in the PeopleManagement reportable segment for the year ended December 30, 2018.

The divestiture of PlaneTechs did not represent a strategic shift with a major effect on the company’s operations and financial results and, therefore was not reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the periods presented.
