Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions In June 2017, we acquired a 45.0% interest in Mercury for $70.0 million, which included a call option to purchase the remaining 55.0% interest within the next nine-month period. We fair-valued the call option using the Black-Scholes model and preliminarily recorded $4.6 million. In August 2017, we purchased the remaining 55.0% ownership of Mercury for an additional $83.0 million and wrote-off the aforementioned call option, which resulted in a net loss of $1.9 million within our loss on extinguishment of debt and other, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. Mercury is a technology company servicing small and medium-sized mortgage lenders and appraisal management companies to manage their collateral valuation operations. This investment rolls into our PI 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. We preliminarily recorded a deferred tax liability of $14.4 million, tradenames of $3.6 million with an estimated life of 8 years, customer lists of $41.3 million with an estimated life of 10 years, proprietary technology of $20.1 million with an estimated life of 9 years, and goodwill of $99.5 million. This business combination did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In August 2017, we completed the acquisition of Myriad for $22.0 million, subject to working capital adjustments, and up to $3.0 million to be paid in cash in 2019, contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue targets in fiscal years 2017 and 2018. We fair valued the contingent payment using the Monte-Carlo simulation model and preliminarily recorded $1.8 million as contingent consideration. The contingent payment is fair valued quarterly and changes are recorded within loss on extinguishment of debt and other, net in our consolidated statement of operations. See Note 8 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further discussion. This acquisition builds on our software-as-a-service capabilities by offering a workflow tool used by the insurance industry for policy underwriting. Myriad is included as a component of our PI reporting 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.

The business combination did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations.
