11. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquiring businesses is a key part of our ongoing strategy to grow our company and expand our market share. Each acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” Acquisition related costs were $0.5 million and $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Acquisition related costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On February 15, 2024, we acquired the assets of the residential and light commercial insulation business Brabble. This installation acquisition enhanced our presence in North Carolina. The purchase price of $5.4 million was funded by cash on hand and we recognized $3.0 million of goodwill in connection with this acquisition.

On March 1, 2024, we acquired the assets of the residential insulation business Morris Black. This installation acquisition enhanced our presence in the Pennsylvania market. The purchase price of $3.6 million was funded by cash on hand and we recognized $2.0 million of goodwill in connection with this acquisition.

On March 1, 2024, we acquired the assets of the customized insulation products and accessories business PCI. This specialty distribution acquisition has a national customer base focused on the domestic pest control industry.  The purchase price of $13.3 million was funded by cash on hand and we recognized $6.3 million of goodwill in connection with this acquisition.

The estimate of acquired customer relationships related to our 2024 acquisitions was $6.0 million and the weighted average useful life is 12 years.

As third-party or internal valuations are finalized, certain tax aspects of the foregoing transactions are completed, and customer post-closing reviews are concluded, adjustments may be made to the fair value of assets acquired, and in some cases total purchase price, through the end of each measurement period, generally one year following the applicable acquisition date.  

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we acquired SRI and the purchase price of $45.3 was funded by cash on hand and we recognized goodwill of $23.1 million in connection with this acquisition.

Goodwill to be recognized in connection with acquisitions is attributable to the synergies expected to be realized and improvements in the businesses after the acquisitions. Primarily all of the $11.2 million and $23.1 million of goodwill recorded from acquisitions completed in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
