Acquisitions
In October 2017, we acquired Newgistics for $471 million, net of cash acquired. The results of Newgistics are included in our consolidated operating results from the date of acquisition. Our consolidated revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes $127 million and $257 million, respectively, from Newgistics. On a supplemental pro forma basis, had we acquired Newgistics on January 1, 2017, our revenues would have been $115 million and $234 million higher for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The impact on our earnings would not have been material.
