The operating results of the acquired businesses are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the closing date of each respective acquisition. The purchase price for each acquisition has been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the respective acquisition date.
The Company is in the process of finalizing the purchase accounting for Power Line Systems. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were provisionally recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The initial accounting for Power Line Systems is not complete because the evaluation necessary to assess the fair values of certain net assets acquired is still in process. The provisional amounts are subject to revision until the evaluations are completed to the extent that additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price may be modified from the date of the acquisition as more information is obtained about the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, however, such measurement period cannot exceed one year.Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded in General and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred acquisition expenses of $10,574 and $6,861, respectively, which include costs related to legal, accounting, valuation, insurance, general administrative, and other consulting fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, $9,773 of the Company’s acquisition expenses related to the acquisition of Power Line Systems, and $6,716 of the Company’s acquisition expenses related to the acquisition of Seequent for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The following summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the weighted average useful lives assigned to acquired intangible assets at the respective date of each acquisition (including contingent consideration):

(1)Of the total 3,141,342 shares issued at closing, 83,627 shares are subject to forfeiture if post‑closing employment service conditions are not met. Accordingly, $5,452 is being recorded as stock‑based compensation expense over the related forfeiture period of two years (see Note 15).
(2)A fair value adjustment of $16,943 was applied to the stock consideration due to restrictions on the transfer of securities.
The fair values of the working capital, other assets (liabilities), and property and equipment approximated their respective carrying values as of the acquisition date.
The fair values of deferred revenues were determined in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies (see Note 3).
The fair values of the intangible assets were primarily determined using the income approach. When applying the income approach, indications of fair values were developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present values at market‑based rates of return. The cash flows were based on estimates used to price the acquisitions and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the Company’s pricing model and the weighted average cost of capital.
Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisitions was attributable to synergies expected to arise from cost saving opportunities, as well as future expected cash flows. The Company expects $519,564 of the goodwill recorded relating to the acquisition of Power Line Systems will be deductible for income tax purposes.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
Had the acquisition of Seequent been made at the beginning of 2020, unaudited pro forma total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 would have been $255,783. Net income, net income per share, basic, and net income per share, diluted for the three months ended March 31, 2021 would not have been materially different than the amounts reported primarily due to the pro forma adjustments to reflect the amortization of purchased intangibles and the cost to finance the transaction, net of the related tax effects.
The unaudited 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 2021. The unaudited pro forma financial information combines the historical results of the Company, the adjusted historical results of Seequent considering the date the Company completed the acquisition of Seequent, and the effects of the pro forma adjustments described above.
Acquisition Subsequent to March 31, 2022
In April 2022, the Company completed one acquisition. The acquisition is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
