Acquisitions
Note 3 – Acquisitions
Allocations of purchase prices for acquisitions are based on estimates of the fair value of consideration paid and of the net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of these fair value estimates. The Company acquired several businesses during 2013 and 2014, as discussed below and in Note 3 - Acquisitions in the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the allocations of purchase price to the fair values of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, including the estimated values of contingent earn-out obligations and the estimated useful lives of acquired assets for certain acquisitions are provisional and remain preliminary. Management continues to assess the valuation of these items and any ultimate purchase price adjustments that may result based on the final net assets and net working capital of the acquired businesses, as prescribed in the corresponding purchase agreements.
The Company will revise its preliminary allocations for acquired businesses if new information is obtained about the facts and circumstances existing as of the date of acquisition, or for purchase price adjustments, based on the final net assets and net working capital of the acquired businesses, as prescribed in the applicable purchase agreement. Such adjustments result in the recognition of, or adjust the fair values of, acquired assets and assumed liabilities, which results in the revision of comparative prior period financial information. These measurement period adjustments are presented as if the adjustments had been taken into account as of the date of acquisition. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in current period results. See table below pertaining to measurement period adjustments associated with the Company's 2013 acquisitions.
2014 Acquisitions
Pacer
Effective June 1, 2014, MasTec acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Pacer Construction Holdings Corporation and its affiliated operating companies (collectively, "Pacer"). Pacer is a western Canadian civil construction services company, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  Pacer’s services include infrastructure construction in support of the oil and gas production, processing, mining and transportation industries. Pacer, a leading contractor in the Canadian oil sands, is expected to significantly enhance MasTec's ability to lead the development of energy infrastructure work in western Canada and take advantage of the associated rapidly expanding opportunities anticipated for energy infrastructure work in North America in the coming years. Pacer is reported within the Company's Oil and Gas segment.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of consideration paid and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition (in millions):

Finite-lived intangible assets will be amortized in a manner consistent with the pattern in which the related benefits are expected to be consumed. The intangible asset related to Pacer's pre-qualifications with companies in the oil and gas industry has been assigned an indefinite life as the pre-qualifications are not expected to expire or diminish in value, and the companies to which they relate have extremely long operating histories. Goodwill arising from the acquisition represents the estimated value of Pacer's geographic presence in key high growth Canadian markets, its assembled workforce, its management team's industry-specific project management expertise and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of Pacer and MasTec. The goodwill balance is not tax deductible.
The value of the current assets and property and equipment acquired and current liabilities assumed include Pacer’s undivided interest in an unincorporated VIE that provides civil construction services, and is accounted for on a proportional basis. The equity method investments include two entities that provide heavy industrial construction services. For both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, revenue recognized by the Company for infrastructure construction services on behalf of these business entities totaled $1.0 million, and as of June 30, 2014, receivables from infrastructure construction services provided by Pacer, including acquired receivables, totaled $8.1 million. As of June 30, 2014, other amounts due Pacer from its equity method investees and joint venture included aggregate financing receivables of $12.1 million, of which $4.7 million was included in other current assets and $7.4 million was included in other long-term assets. In connection with these business entities, Pacer has issued performance guarantees, on a joint and several basis with its other joint venture partners or other shareholders in such entities, of approximately $225.0 million, and has approximately $35.0 million of other financial guarantees, of which the Company believes an immaterial amount is at risk as of June 30, 2014, as most of the related projects are completed, substantially completed, or on schedule with no material issues or delays anticipated. The Company believes these receivables and guarantees represent variable interests. Pacer does not have the power to control the primary activities, nor is it the primary beneficiary of, these business entities. The Company may provide financial support to these business entities in the future.
The contingent earn-out obligation is equal to 25% of the excess, if any, of Pacer’s earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) above certain thresholds for a five-year period, as set forth in the purchase agreement, and is payable annually in cash. The fair value of the earn-out liability was estimated using an income approach and incorporates significant inputs not observable in the market. Key assumptions in the estimated valuation include the discount rate and probability-weighted EBITDA projections. The range of potential undiscounted payments that MasTec could be required to make under the earn-out arrangement is estimated to be between $0 and $63 million; however, there is no maximum earn-out payment amount.
Other 2014 Acquisitions
Effective April 1, 2014, MasTec acquired 100% of a telecommunications services firm that specializes in the installation of in-home security systems for an aggregate purchase price composed of approximately $18.1 million in cash and a five year earn-out, valued at $0.6 million as of the date of acquisition. Additionally, effective January 1, 2014, MasTec acquired 100% of a telecommunications services firm that specializes in the engineering, installation, furnishing and integration of telecommunications equipment for an aggregate purchase price composed of approximately $23.8 million in cash and a five year earn-out, valued at $8.7 million as of the date of acquisition. These companies are included in MasTec's Communications segment.
2013 Acquisitions
Big Country
Effective May 1, 2013, MasTec acquired all of the issued and outstanding interests of Big Country Energy Services, Inc. and its affiliated operating companies (collectively, "Big Country"). Big Country is a North American oil and gas pipeline and facility construction services company, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Other 2013 Acquisitions
Effective April 1, 2013, MasTec acquired a former subcontractor to its wireless business, which provides self-perform communications tower construction, installation, maintenance and other services in support of telecommunications infrastructure construction in the Company's Communications segment. In addition, effective August 1, 2013, MasTec acquired an electrical transmission services company, which focuses primarily on substation construction activities and is included within the Company's Electrical Transmission segment.

Unaudited Pro Forma Information
The following unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information includes the results of operations of each of the companies acquired in 2014 and 2013 and is presented as if the acquired companies had been consolidated as of the beginning of the year immediately preceding the date of acquisition. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information has been provided for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the combined companies for the periods presented, or of the results that may be achieved by the combined companies in the future. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in the following unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information because of future events and transactions, as well as other factors, many of which are beyond MasTec’s control.
The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information presented below has been prepared by adjusting the historical results of MasTec to include the historical results of the acquired businesses described above. The unaudited supplemental pro forma combined historical results were then adjusted (i) to remove one-time acquisition costs; (ii) to increase amortization expense resulting from the incremental intangible assets acquired in such acquisitions; (iii) to increase interest expense as a result of the cash consideration paid; and (iv) to reduce interest expense from the repayment of acquired debt. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not include any adjustments to reflect the impact of cost savings or other synergies that may result from these acquisitions. As noted above, the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the combined companies for the periods presented or that may be achieved by the combined companies in the future.
