The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment as of July 1, 2023 utilizing a quantitative test approach as described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”.

During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company acquired, through a series of separate transactions, 100% of the operations of three unrelated companies, all of which was allocated to Maintenance Services. The Company paid approximately $13.8 in aggregate consideration for the acquisitions, net of cash acquired. The Company accounted for the business combinations under the acquisition method and, accordingly, recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair market values based on management’s preliminary estimates, with the excess allocated to goodwill. The fair values were primarily estimated using Level 3 assumptions within the fair value hierarchy, including estimated future cash flows, discount rates and other factors. The valuation process to determine fair values is not yet complete. The Company continues to refine the valuation data and estimates primarily related to unbilled revenue, property and equipment, intangible assets, net, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and deferred revenue and will finalize the amounts recognized as it obtains the information necessary to complete the analysis, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The identifiable assets acquired were primarily customer relationship intangible assets of $4.0. The amount allocated to goodwill is reflective of the benefits the Company expects to realize from anticipated synergies and the acquired assembled workforce in place. The Company expects a portion of the goodwill resulting from these acquisitions will be deductible for tax purposes.

From each acquisition date through September 30, 2023, the amount of revenue of the companies acquired during fiscal 2023 included in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2023, was $16.0.

During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company acquired, through a series of separate transactions, 100% of the operations of eight unrelated companies, one of which was allocated between both Maintenance Services and Development Services. The Company paid approximately $93.1 in aggregate consideration for the acquisitions, net of cash acquired. The Company accounted for the business combinations under the acquisition method and, accordingly, recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair market values based on management’s preliminary estimates, with the excess allocated to goodwill. The purchase accounting related to the 2022 acquisitions was finalized during 2023. As a result of the final purchase accounting, certain of the fair value amounts previously estimated were adjusted during the measurement period. These measurement period adjustments resulted from updated valuation reports and appraisals received from our external valuation specialists, as well as revisions to internal estimates. The measurement period adjustments were not material to the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023 and 2022. The fair values were primarily estimated using Level 3 assumptions within the fair value hierarchy, including estimated future cash flows, discount rates and other factors. The identifiable assets acquired were primarily customer relationships of $25.4. The amount allocated to goodwill is reflective of the benefits the Company expects to realize from anticipated synergies and the acquired assembled workforce. A portion of the goodwill resulting from these acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes.

From each acquisition date through September 30, 2022, the amount of revenue of the companies acquired during fiscal 2022 included in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2022, was $65.5.
