Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Sirius

On December 1, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of all issued and outstanding equity interests of Sirius for an aggregate consideration paid, net of cash acquired, of approximately $2.4 billion. Transaction costs related to the acquisition were $35 million, which are included in Selling and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company used the net proceeds from the December 1, 2021 issuance of the $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes to finance the acquisition and related transaction costs. For additional information on the issuance of the senior notes, see Note 9 (Debt).

Sirius is a leading provider of secure, mission-critical technology-based solutions and is one of the largest IT solutions integrators in the United States, leveraging its services-led approach, broad portfolio of hybrid infrastructure solutions, and deep technical expertise of its 2,600 coworkers to support corporate and public customers. This strategic acquisition enhances the Company’s breadth and depth of services and solutions offerings.

Following the close of the acquisition, the Company issued a mix of cash and equity-based retention awards to certain Sirius coworkers, which vest over a required service period and will be recorded as expense over the required service period. The results of operations of Sirius are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company beginning on the acquisition date. These amounts are presented within the Corporate, Small Business and Public reportable segments. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included $197 million of net sales and $9 million of net income from the results of operations of Sirius.

The Sirius acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company finalized the purchase price and completed its identification and measurement of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition. There were no significant adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed in the December 31, 2021 Consolidated Financial Statements. The table below summarizes the final purchase price allocation to acquired assets, including goodwill and intangible assets.


	Acquisition-Date Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	52.8
Accounts receivable	634.1
Intangible assets, net	1,164.0
Goodwill	1,566.6
Other assets	438.1
Total assets acquired	3,855.6
Accounts payable-trade	633.8
Debt	170.1
Deferred tax liabilities	207.0
Other liabilities	389.7
Total liabilities assumed	1,400.6
Total purchase price	$	2,455.0

The Company used the income approach to value the intangible assets, consisting of acquired customer relationships and trade name. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable, which are categorized as a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. Significant inputs used to value these intangible assets include projection of all future cash flows, long-term growth rates, customer attrition rates, discount rates,

royalty rates and applicable income tax rates. The excess purchase price recorded to goodwill primarily represents the future economic benefits the Company expects to achieve as a result of combining operations and Sirius’ workforce. The Company finalized its allocation of goodwill to the reportable segments during the fourth quarter of 2022. For additional information on goodwill allocation, see Note 6 (Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets).

The amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for income tax purposes is estimated to be $160 million.

The table below summarizes the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired.
