Acquisitions Acquisitions
Subsequent to 2021
In February 2022, the Company made two investments in an electric vehicle charging payments business and an electric vehicle data analytics business. In March 2022, the Company acquired a software business that streamlines disruption events for airline passengers. These acquisitions are not expected to be material to the financial results of the Company. The Company financed these acquisitions using a combination of available cash and borrowings under its existing Credit Facility.
2021 Acquisitions
ALE
On September 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of ALE Solutions, Inc. (ALE), a U.S. based provider of lodging solutions to the insurance industry, for a net purchase price of $421.8 million. The purpose of this acquisition is to expand the Company's lodging business into the insurance vertical. The Company financed the acquisition using a combination of available cash and borrowings under its existing credit facility. The results from the acquisition are reported in the North America segment.
In connection with this acquisition, the Company signed noncompete agreements with certain parties affiliated with the business with an estimated fair value of $18.3 million. These noncompete agreements were accounted for separately from the business acquisition. Accounting for the preliminary fair values of the ALE customer relationship intangible asset was subjective due to the uncertainty in estimating customer attrition rates, which had a significant impact on the estimated fair values. The customer attrition rates are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. Specific assumptions that are still being evaluated include customer attrition rates, expected useful lives of definite lived intangible assets, and the measurement of uncertain tax positions.
