scil Acquisition
On April 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of scil animal care company GmbH (“scil”) from Covetrus, Inc. At closing, the Company paid approximately $111.0 million in cash to acquire 100% of the
capital stock of scil. The acquisition represents a key milestone in the Company's long-term strategic plan creating a global veterinary diagnostics company with leadership positions in key geographic markets.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. As such, the total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a preliminary estimate of their fair values as of April 1, 2020. The total purchase consideration is subject to customary working capital adjustments.

In the third quarter of 2020, the estimated purchase consideration decreased to approximately $109.8 million as a result of post-closing adjustments to the settlement exchange rate, the net working capital and other adjustments. The resulting goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is primarily attributable to the synergies expected from the expanded market opportunities with our offerings and the experienced workforce acquired. Of the $45.8 million of goodwill acquired, $37.3 million is allocated to our International segment and $8.5 million is allocated to our North America segment. All of the goodwill is tax deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes which may result in a decrease to the Company's future U.S. federal tax liability.

The information below represents the preliminary purchase price allocation of scil (in thousands):

The Company's preliminary estimates of fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are based on the information currently available, and the Company is continuing to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions used in its valuations. Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the date of the acquisition. Among items still being evaluated is an existing uncertain tax position of approximately $1.0 million that scil had prior to acquisition. The uncertain tax position may or may not change based on the results of the evaluation. A decrease in the fair value of assets acquired or an increase in the fair value of liabilities assumed in the acquisition from those valuations would result in a corresponding change in the amount of goodwill from the acquisition. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company reclassified certain assets and liabilities to align with the presentation of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. There were no significant measurement period adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Intangible assets acquired, amortization method and estimated useful life as of April 1, 2020, was as follows (dollars in thousands):

scil generated net revenue of $37.7 million and a net loss of $0.2 million for the period from April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020.

The Company incurred acquisition related costs of approximately $0.7 million and $5.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, which are included within general and administrative expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.

The pro forma financial information presented above has been prepared by combining our historical results and the historical results of scil and further reflects the effect of purchase accounting adjustments, including: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) the impact of certain fair value adjustments such as depreciation on the acquired property, plant and equipment, and (iii) historical intercompany sales between the Company and scil. The unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what actual results of operations would have been if the acquisition had occurred as the beginning of the period presented, nor are they indicative of future results of operations.

CVM
On December 5, 2019, Heska entered into a definitive agreement to purchase 100% of the outstanding shares of CVM Diagnostico Veternario S.L. and CVM Ecografia S.L. (collectively, “CVM”), primarily to expand international operations in Europe. CVM is headquartered in Tudela, outside of Madrid, Spain. CVM mainly operates in Spain. The terms of the agreement transferred control of CVM upon signing, and the transfer of the purchase price of approximately $14.4 million and shares occurred in January 2020. The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the identifiable net assets and, accordingly, $9.0 million was allocated to goodwill within the International segment based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, all of which is tax deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The preliminary fair values allocated to CVM's assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date, as well as the purchase price, are reflected in the table below (in thousands):

The Company's preliminary estimates of fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are based on the information that was available at the date of the acquisition, and the Company is continuing to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions used in its valuations. Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the date of the
acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company made certain valuation adjustments to provisional amounts previously recognized. These adjustments resulted in a net $110 thousand increase of goodwill, primarily due to fair value adjustments resulting in a decrease in net identifiable assets acquired.

CVM management conducts related party activities with Practice Clinicas Veterinarias Moviles, S.L. ("CVM Practice"), which is owned by CVM's management. CVM leases two warehouses from CVM Practice and is the debtor of two loans with CVM Practice. CVM Practice charged CVM $23 thousand and $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, all of which is related to lease payments. The right-of-use asset and lease liability amounts related to the warehouse leases were approximately $169 thousand and $0 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. All accrued interest is due upon termination of the loans with CVM Practice and as such, the amount due includes principal and interest. The Company had payables to CVM Practice of approximately $1.2 million and $0 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which is included in "Related party loan" on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The change from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 is due
to a reorganization regarding CVM management and the control that they exercise subsequent to the scil acquisition.
Other Related Party Activities
Cuattro, LLC ("Cuattro"), which is owned by Kevin S. Wilson, the CEO and President of the Company, in addition to Mrs. Wilson and trusts for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson's children and family, charged Heska Imaging $0 and $6 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The 2019 charges primarily related to digital imaging products, pursuant to an underlying supply contract that contains minimum purchase obligations, software and services as well as other operating expenses. Pursuant to the December 21, 2018 transaction in which the Company acquired certain assets from Cuattro, Cuattro was obligated, without further compensation, to assist the Company with the implementation of a third-party image hosting platform and necessary data migration. The implementation and migration were completed, on schedule, as of September 30, 2020 and as such there will be no further related party activities with Cuattro.
The Company had no receivables from or payables to Cuattro as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
