Intangible Assets
For the Fiscal 2024 Acquisitions, the intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships and other intangible assets.
The customer relationship intangible assets represent the value associated with those customer relationships in place at the date of each transaction included in the Fiscal 2024 Acquisitions. The Company valued the customer relationships using an excess earnings method including various inputs such as customer attrition rate, revenue growth rate, gross margin percentage and discount rate. Cash flows associated with the existing relationships are expected to diminish over time due to customer turnover. The Company reflected this expected diminishing cash flow through the utilization of an annual customer attrition rate assumption and in its method of amortization.
The other intangible assets primarily consist of trademark intangible assets that represent the value associated with the brand names in place at the date of the applicable closing.
A summary of the intangible asset acquired and assumptions utilized in the valuation for the Fiscal 2024 Acquisitions is as follows:
