Acquisitions and Divestitures Acquisitions and divestitures
Routine acquisitions
During 2018, the Company acquired 18 dialysis centers in the U.S. and 28 dialysis centers outside the U.S. for a total of $176,161 in net cash paid, earn-outs of $1,246, and deferred purchase price and liabilities assumed of $34,394. In one of these transactions we acquired a controlling interest in a previously nonconsolidated U.S. dialysis partnership for which we
recognized a non-cash gain of $28,152 on our prior interest upon consolidation. During 2017, the Company acquired 30 dialysis centers in the U.S. and 68 dialysis centers outside the U.S. for a total of $308,550 in net cash, earn-outs of $2,692, and deferred purchase price of $23,748. During 2016, the Company acquired eight dialysis centers in the U.S. and 21 dialysis centers outside the U.S. for a total of $165,108 in net cash, earn-outs of $1,511 and deferred purchase price of $17,963. The assets and liabilities for all acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair values at the dates of the acquisitions and are included in the Company’s financial statements and operating results from the effective dates of the acquisitions. For several of the 2018 acquisitions, certain income tax amounts are pending final evaluation and quantification of any pre-acquisition tax contingencies. In addition, valuation of intangibles and certain other working capital items relating to several of these acquisitions are pending final quantification.
The following table summarizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in these transactions and recognized at their acquisition dates at estimated fair values, as well as the estimated fair value of noncontrolling interests assumed in these transactions:

Acquisition of Renal Ventures
On May 1, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity of Colorado-based Renal Ventures Management, LLC (Renal Ventures) for approximately $359,913 in net cash. Renal Ventures operated 36 dialysis centers, one uncertified dialysis center and one home program, that provided services to approximately 2,600 patients in six states. As a part of this transaction, the Company was required to divest three Renal Ventures outpatient dialysis centers, and three outpatient dialysis centers and one uncertified dialysis center of the Company, for approximately $21,219 in net cash. The Company also incurred approximately $11,950 in transaction and integration costs during the year ended December 31, 2017 associated with this acquisition that are included in general and administrative expenses.
The purchase price allocation for the Renal Ventures acquisition was finalized in 2018 with no material change to the initial allocation.

Contingent earn-out obligations
The Company has several contingent earn-out obligations associated with acquisitions that could result in the Company paying the former shareholders of acquired companies a total of up to approximately $11,210 if certain EBITDA, operating income performance targets or quality margins are met over the next one year to five years.
Contingent earn-out obligations are remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingencies are resolved with changes in the liability due to the remeasurement recognized in earnings. See Note 24 to these consolidated financial statements for further details. As of December 31, 2018, the Company estimated the fair value of these contingent earn-out obligations to be $2,608, of which a total of $431 is included in other liabilities, and the remaining $2,177 is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
The following is a reconciliation of changes in contingent earn-out obligations for the year ended December 31, 2018:
