Business Combinations

The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements include the operating results of acquired businesses from the date of each acquisition. Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented as the financial impact to the Company's consolidated results of operations, both individually and in aggregate, is not material. Additional information, if any, existing as of the acquisition dates but unknown to the Company may become known during the remainder of the measurement period, not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date, which may result in changes to the amounts and allocations recorded.

The Company did not complete any business combinations in 2015 and completed one business combination in 2014 and one business combination in 2013. Cash consideration, including the fair value of vested share-based awards assumed, if any, for acquisitions in 2014 and 2013, was approximately $28.7 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

The following table presents the purchase consideration allocations for these acquisitions based upon acquisition-date fair values, including cash and cash equivalents acquired (in millions):
