Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
ACQUISITIONS ACQUISITIONS
On January 1, 2022, we acquired all the outstanding equity of PLG Investments I, LLC (Whiplash), a leading national provider of omnichannel fulfillment and logistics services for an approximate purchase price of $483 million. The acquisition is included in our SCS business segment, and will expand our e-commerce and omnichannel fulfillment network.

The following table provides the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of the assets and liabilities for Whiplash as of the acquisition date:

(In thousands)January 1, 2022
Assets:
Receivables, net$78,765 
Goodwill280,615 
Customer relationships and other intangible assets157,400 
Other assets, primarily operating lease right-of-use assets241,646 
Total assets758,426 
Liabilities:
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities78,948 
Other liabilities, primarily operating lease liabilities196,709 
Net assets acquired$482,769 

The excess of the purchase consideration over the aggregate estimated fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized reflects anticipated supply chain services growth opportunities and expected synergies of combining Whiplash with our business. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. Customer relationship intangible assets are expected to be amortized over 13 years. The purchase price included $439 million of restricted cash placed in escrow and the remaining amount classified as a deposit as of December 31, 2021. These amounts were recorded in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021. The cash paid from escrow during the first quarter of 2022 is reflected in "Acquisitions, net of cash acquired" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

We believe that we have sufficient information to provide a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation excludes certain items to be resolved post-closing with the seller, which
may result in additional adjustments to the final purchase price. Therefore, the provisional measurements of estimated fair values reflected are subject to change. We expect to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase consideration allocation no later than December 31, 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we paid $27 million, net of cash acquired, related to other business combinations, which resulted in additions to goodwill and intangible assets of $20 million and $2 million, respectively.
