Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	NOTE 5. ACQUISITIONS We account for acquisitions under the acquisition method and the results of operations of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the acquisition date. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. For acquired businesses, we allocate total consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values, with the remaining unallocated amount recorded as goodwill. The fair value of acquired intangible assets is estimated by applying discounted cash flow models based on significant level 3 inputs not observable in the market. Key assumptions are developed based on each acquirees’ historical experience, future projections and comparable market data including future cash flows, long-term growth rates, implied royalty rates, attrition rates and discount rates. Acquisition-related contingent consideration that is classified as a liability is measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. The fair value of contingent consideration is remeasured at each reporting period, and any future changes in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in reporting periods after the acquisition date are recorded within loss (gain) related to change in fair value of contingent consideration on our Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. INSOLCORP In October 2023, we acquired a portion of the business of Insolcorp for $1.7 million of cash and additional contingent consideration payable upon the achievement of certain future performance obligations from 2024 through 2031. We, with the assistance of an independent, third-party valuation specialist, determined the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration of $0.7 million at the acquisition date, resulting in a purchase price of $2.4 million. The total fair value of tangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed was $0.1 million. The total fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was $2.1 million, resulting in $0.2 million of goodwill. Acquired intangible assets were comprised of in-process research and development of $1.7 million and amortizable trademarks of $0.4 million. All acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a life of 20 years. All of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Valuations for assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates that are subject to revisions and may result in adjustments to preliminary values as valuations are finalized. BOK In July 2023, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of BOK for a purchase price of $13.8 million and additional contingent consideration payable upon the achievement of certain future performance obligations in 2024 and 2025 not to exceed $3.3 million. We, with the assistance of an independent, third-party valuation specialist, utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration of $0.8 million at the acquisition date, resulting in a purchase price of $14.6 million. The total fair value of tangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed was $1.4 million. The total fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was $5.4 million, resulting in $7.8 million of goodwill. Acquired intangible assets were comprised of amortizable patents of $1.9 million, amortizable trademarks of $1.8 million, amortizable customer relationships of $1.4 million, and non-compete agreements of $0.3 million, that are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average life of 18, 15, 2 and 3 years, respectively. All of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Valuations for assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates that are subject to revisions and may result in adjustments to preliminary values as valuations are finalized. SOFTWARE-RELATED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY In May 2023, we acquired a co-ownership interest in certain software-related intellectual property for a total purchase price of $11.0 million, of which $10.0 million was paid in the second quarter of 2023 and an additional $1.0 million was paid in the fourth quarter of 2023. As a result of this transaction, the total fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was $6.5 million of software and $4.5 million of developed technology, which are being amortized over a weighted-average life of 5 and 17 years, respectively. GC PRODUCTS In November 2022, we acquired the business of GC Products for $2.8 million of cash. The total fair value of tangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, was $0.3 million. The total fair value of intangible assets acquired was $1.8 million, resulting in goodwill of $0.7 million. Identified intangible assets consist primarily of amortizable developed technology of $0.7 million, amortizable customer relationships of $0.6 million, and a non-compete agreement of $0.2 million, which are being amortized over a weighted-average life of 20, 6 and 3 years, respectively. All of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
