Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, Transaction between Entities under Common Control, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]  
ACQUISITIONS ACQUISITIONS
Business combinations generally take place to strengthen Patrick's positions in existing markets and increase its market share and per unit content, expand into additional markets, or gain key technology. Acquisitions meeting the definition of a business combination are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. For each acquisition, the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill, which generally represents the combined value of the Company’s existing purchasing, manufacturing, sales, and systems resources with the organizational talent and expertise of the acquired companies’ respective management teams to maximize efficiencies, market share growth and net income.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company completed the acquisitions described below that qualify as business combinations. The acquisitions were funded through cash on hand or borrowings under the Company’s credit facility in existence at the time of acquisition. For each of the acquisitions discussed, we either acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the business, or acquired 100% of the equity interests. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the individual acquisitions were recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of the respective dates of acquisition. For each acquisition, the Company completes its allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities within a one-year measurement period. For those acquisitions where the purchase price allocation is provisional, which includes certain acquisitions completed in 2025, the Company is still in the process of finalizing the fair values of acquired intangible assets and fixed assets. 
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, revenue of approximately $44.0 million, $295.7 million and $17.7 million, respectively, was included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income pertaining to the businesses acquired in each such respective year.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, operating income of approximately $1.3 million, $47.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, was included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income pertaining to the businesses acquired in each such respective year.
Acquisition-related costs associated with the businesses acquired in 2024 were $5.0 million. Acquisition-related costs associated with the businesses acquired in 2025 and 2023 were immaterial in each respective year.
Contingent Consideration
In connection with certain acquisitions, the Company is required to pay additional cash consideration to the sellers if certain financial results of the acquired businesses are achieved. The Company records a liability for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration related to each of these acquisitions as part of the initial purchase price based on the present value of the expected future cash flows and the probability of future payments at the date of acquisition.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending aggregate fair values of the contingent consideration:

Total cash consideration for the 2025 Acquisitions was approximately $117.4 million, plus a working capital holdback and contingent consideration over a two-year period based on future performance in connection with three acquisitions. As the Company finalizes the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, additional purchase price adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period. Changes to preliminary purchase accounting estimates recorded during the year ended December 31, 2025 related to the 2025 Acquisitions were immaterial.

We estimate the value of acquired property, plant, and equipment using a combination of the income, cost, and market approaches, such as estimates of future income growth, capitalization rates, discount rates, and capital expenditure needs of the acquired businesses.
We estimate the value of customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a variation of the income approach, calculating the present value of incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the asset. Non-compete agreements are valued using a discounted cash flow approach, which is a variation of the income approach, with and without the individual counterparties to the non-compete agreements. Trademarks and patents are valued using the relief-from-royalty method, which applies an estimated royalty rate to forecasted future cash flows, discounted to present value.
The estimated useful life for customer relationships is 10 years. The estimated useful life for non-compete agreements is 5 years. The weighted average estimated useful life for patents is 13 years, ranging from 10 to 18 years. Trademarks have an indefinite useful life.
