Acquisitions

In September 2015, we completed the acquisition of LandSafe for $122.0 million, subject to working capital adjustments, which is included as a component of our D&A reporting segment. The acquisition builds on our longstanding strategic relationship with a key client and continues to expand our property valuation capabilities. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using a variety of valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, which included significant unobservables. The purchase price allocation is subject to change based on our final determination of fair value in connection with intangible assets and working capital matters. We preliminarily recorded customer lists of $53.4 million with an estimated average life of 10 years, other intangibles of $4.3 million with an estimated useful life of 10 years and goodwill of $64.6 million, which is fully deductible for tax purposes. The business combination did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.     

In March 2014, we completed the acquisition of Marshall & Swift/Boeckh ("MSB") and DataQuick Information Systems ("DataQuick"). In addition, we acquired the assets of the credit, flood services and automated valuation model operations of DataQuick Lending Solutions and certain intellectual property assets of Decision Insight Information Group S.à r.l. The total consideration paid in connection with the MSB/DataQuick acquisition was approximately $652.5 million in cash, which was primarily funded through borrowings under our Credit Agreement. The acquisition of MSB/DataQuick significantly expanded our footprint in property and casualty insurance and added scale to our existing property data and analytics business, which was a contributing factor to the recording of goodwill. The operations of MSB and DataQuick's data licensing and analytics units are reported within our D&A segment and DataQuick's flood zone determination and credit servicing operations are reported within our Technology and Processing Solutions ("TPS") segment. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using a variety of valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, which included significant unobservable inputs. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recognized as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price is as follows:
