13.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

As part of our strategy to supplement our organic growth and expand our access to additional markets and products, we made several acquisitions during the first quarter of 2017.  Each acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”  Acquisition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2017, were $0.3 million and are included in selling, general, and administrative expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Acquisitions

 

On January 16, 2017, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Midwest, a heavy commercial fireproofing and insulation company with locations in Chicago, Illinois and Indianapolis, Indiana.  The purchase price of approximately $12.2 million was funded by cash on hand.

 

On February 27, 2017, we acquired substantially all of the assets of EcoFoam.  EcoFoam is a residential and light commercial insulation installation company with locations in Colorado Springs and Denver, Colorado.  The purchase price of approximately $22.3 million was funded by cash on hand of $20.2 million and contingent consideration of $2.1 million.

 

On February 27, 2017, we acquired substantially all of the assets of MR Insulfoam, a residential insulation installation company located in Norwalk, Connecticut.  The purchase price of approximately $1.5 million was funded by cash on hand.

 

On March 29, 2017, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Capital, a residential insulation installation company located in Sacramento, California.  The purchase price of approximately $7.3 million was funded by cash on hand.

Further adjustments to the allocation for each acquisition still under its measurement period, generally one year from acquisition date, are expected as third-party or internal valuations are finalized, certain tax aspects of the transaction are completed, and customary post-closing reviews are concluded during the measurement period attributable to each individual business combination.  As a result, adjustments may be made to the fair value of assets acquired, and in some cases total purchase price may be adjusted, through the end of each measurement period.

 

Goodwill to be recognized in connection with these acquisitions is attributable to the synergies expected to be realized and improvements in the businesses after the acquisitions.  The goodwill will be recognized entirely by our Installation segment.  All of the $18.5 million of goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

Contingent Consideration

 

The acquisition of EcoFoam includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by TopBuild to the sellers of EcoFoam based on certain future revenues of EcoFoam over a three-year period.  The range of the undiscounted amounts TopBuild could pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between zero and $2.5 million.  The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $2.1 million was estimated by applying the income approach using discounted cash flows.  That measure is based on significant Level 3 inputs not observable in the market.  The significant assumption includes a discount rate of 9.5%.

 

Contingent consideration is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in accrued liabilities and other liabilities.  Adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration will be reflected in selling, general, and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and are included in the acquisition costs above.  The following table presents the fair value of contingent consideration as of March 31, 2017, in thousands:
