BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS [Abstract]

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

NOTE 13 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Revenues and expenses of the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective dates of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities is based on estimates of fair market value and may be revised if and when additional information the Company is awaiting concerning certain asset and liability valuations is obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of our acquisitions with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce.

On April 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests of Tool Supply, Inc. (“TSI”) to expand DXP’s cutting tools offering in the Northwest region of the United States. DXP paid approximately $5.0 million for TSI, which was borrowed under the Facility. Estimated goodwill of $2.9 million and intangible assets of $2.0 were recognized for this acquisition. All of the estimated goodwill is included in the Service Centers segment. None of the estimated goodwill or intangible assets are expected to be tax deductible.

On September 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests of Cortech Engineering, LLC (“Cortech”) to expand DXP’s rotating equipment offering to the Western seaboard. DXP paid approximately $14.9 million for Cortech. The purchase was financed with borrowings under the Facility as well as by issuing $4.4 million (148.8 thousand shares) of DXP common stock. Estimated intangible assets of $5.2 were recognized for this acquisition. In the first quarter of 2016, DXP adjusted the deferred tax liability associated with the acquisition by $151 thousand, which resulted in an adjusted goodwill balance of $8.7 million. All of the estimated goodwill is included in the Service Centers segment. Approximately $4.5 million of the goodwill and intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes.

The value assigned to the non-compete agreements and customer relationships for business acquisitions were determined by discounting the estimated cash flows associated with non-compete agreements and customer relationships as of the date the acquisition was consummated. The estimated cash flows were based on estimated revenues net of operating expenses and net of capital charges for assets that contribute to the projected cash flow from these assets. The projected revenues and operating expenses were estimated based on management estimates. Net capital charges for assets that contribute to projected cash flow were based on the estimated fair value of those assets.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, businesses acquired during 2015 contributed sales of $25.2 million and earnings (loss) before taxes of approximately $(0.3) million.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during 2015 in connection with the acquisitions described above (in thousands):
