Business Ink Acquisition

5.   BUSINESS INK ACQUISITION

On February 28, 2018, we acquired Business Ink for approximately $70 million in cash.  Business Ink is a company based in Austin, Texas, with facilities in multiple locations.  Business Ink provides outsourced, customized business communications services to the telecommunications, healthcare, financial services, utilities and government sectors across statements, email, mobile messaging and more. The acquisition extends the scale of our operations and platform capabilities, expands our customer base into new verticals, and further solidifies our customer communications footprint.

 

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):

The above estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the date of the Business Ink acquisition to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  We believe that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but we are waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values.  Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value set forth above are subject to change.  Such changes are not expected to be significant.  During the second quarter of 2018, we made certain adjustments, primarily to increase the value of the acquired client contracts by $4.3 million.  As a result of these adjustments, the amount allocated to goodwill decreased by $4.5 million.  We expect to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

 

The Business Ink goodwill has been assigned to our one reportable segment.  The estimated lives assigned to the acquired client contracts and the acquired software assets range from approximately four months to fifteen years (weighted-average life of thirteen years), and four years, respectively.  Amortization expense related to these acquired intangible assets is recognized based upon the pattern in which the economic benefits of the acquired intangible assets are expected to be received.  The Business Ink goodwill and acquired intangible assets are deductible for income tax purposes.

 

The results of operations of Business Ink are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the period subsequent to the acquisition date.  Pro forma information on our historical results of operations to reflect the acquisition of Business Ink is not presented as Business Ink’s results of operations during prior periods are not significant to our results of operations.
