Business Combinations

During the second fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company acquired Aquenta Consulting (NZ) Limited.  During the first fiscal quarter of 2016, the Company acquired J.L. Patterson & Associates.  These acquisitions were not material to the Company’s consolidated results for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 or 2016.

On May 19, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Saudi Aramco to form a 50/50 Saudi Arabia-based joint venture company to provide professional program and construction management (PMCM) services for social infrastructure projects throughout Saudi Arabia and across the Middle East and North Africa. The venture is scheduled to commence start-up operations in fourth quarter fiscal 2017. Initial funding commitments from each of the partners include $6.5 million in capital contributions and $7.0 million in partner loans which are expected to be executed during fourth quarter fiscal 2017 or early fiscal 2018. The partners have also committed up to an additional $7.0 million each for future loans to the joint venture.
