2023 Acquisition

On July 25, 2023, the Company acquired certain assets of Roker Inc. ("Roker"), a United States based provider of fully-integrated parking solutions that simplify permit, violation and enforcement management for organizations and municipalities, for approximately $3.1 million. The Company utilized borrowings under its Senior Credit Facility and cash on hand to fund the acquisition. Roker's operations are included in the Commercial segment.

The acquisition enhances the Company's position as a global provider of frictionless technology solutions that is not dependent on the Company's legacy parking management related operations. Roker has been accounted for as a business combination, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill was measured as the excess of the consideration over the assets acquired, including other intangible assets, less liabilities assumed. Tax deductible goodwill related to the acquisition was $1.0 million. The results of Roker's operations were reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of the acquisition.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Roker contributed $0.2 million of services revenue and $0.4 million of losses before income taxes, primarily due to the amortization related to the acquired other intangible assets.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $0.2 million related to Roker.

The fair values of other intangible assets acquired were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value for all identifiable intangible assets was based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset, based on the most advantageous market for the asset.

The fair value of the Proprietary know how were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach utilizing projected financial information for the technology that was acquired. The fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the distributor method under the income approach.

2022 Acquisitions

On October 11, 2022, the Company acquired K M P Associates Limited ("KMP"), a United Kingdom based software and technology provider serving aviation and commercial parking clients, primarily through its Aeroparker technology, throughout the United States and Europe for approximately $13.8 million, less cash acquired of $0.9 million, and assumed KMP's debt of $0.3 million. Immediately following the acquisition, the Company repaid all of the debt assumed. KMP's operations are included in the Aviation segment.

On November 10, 2022, the Company acquired certain assets of DIVRT, Inc. ("DIVRT"), a developer of innovative software and technology solutions that enables frictionless parking capabilities, for approximately $17.6 million. In addition, the Company may be required to pay the former owner of DIVRT a maximum amount of $7.0 million in contingent consideration if certain targets related to the number of the Company's locations using the DIVRT technology are met by October 31, 2025. Based on a probability weighting of potential payouts, the Company accrued $4.0 million in projected contingent consideration as of the acquisition date, which was determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined that the first two targets were met as of October 31, 2023, which was the second milestone date. As a result, the Company paid the former owner $2.8 million during the first quarter of 2024. Based on the achievement of the first two targets and the Company’s forecast for future payments, the Company evaluated the estimated contingent consideration and determined no additional accruals were needed. The Company will continue to evaluate the potential payouts in the future and adjust the contingent consideration for any changes in the estimated fair value each reporting period. DIVRT's operations are included in the Commercial segment. See Note 10. Fair Value Measurement for further discussion.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, KMP and DIVRT contributed $6.3 million of services revenue and losses before income taxes of $4.0 million, primarily due to the amortization related to the acquired other intangible assets.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $2.6 million related to KMP and DIVRT.

The Company finalized its purchase price allocations for KMP and DIVRT during the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no measurement period adjustments recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows:
