ACQUISITIONS, ASSET PURCHASES AND INVESTMENTS

ACQUISITIONS, ASSET PURCHASES AND INVESTMENTS

We believe that our acquisitions of businesses and other assets enhance our existing businesses by either expanding our geographic range, customer base, or existing product and service lines. From time to time, we acquire businesses that we account for as either asset purchases or business combinations, and noncontrolling minority interests in business entities, which we recognize as equity investments.

Business Combinations

During the first quarter of 2024, we acquired the assets of a privately-owned software and data platform business based in the U.S. that extended our practice management system cloud-native workflow and delivers strategic data solutions to our customers and their clients, for approximately $81.1 million, including a contingent payment valued at $4.4 million at the time of purchase. The fair values and the lives of the assets and liabilities acquired were as follows: completed technology of $17.1 million, with a life of 6 years; customer relationship intangibles of $12.5 million, with a life of 10 years; a non-compete agreement of $4.7 million, with a life of 5 years; and a trademark of $0.7 million, with a life of 10 years. We also recognized goodwill of $45.8 million, which represents synergies with our software business, and $0.3 million of net tangible assets, including accounts receivable. Goodwill related to this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Pro forma information has not been presented for this acquisition because such information is not material to the financial statements. The results of operations have been included in our CAG segment since the acquisition date. The acquisition expenses were not significant.
