On March 13, 2015, the Company acquired IOS Holdings, Inc. (“IOS” or ”Test and Inspection Services”) for $167,404, net of cash acquired and a net working capital receivable adjustment of $2,363. The purchase agreement included an earn-out provision for the seller to generate an additional $60,000 of proceeds upon achieving certain levels of EBITDA during the three-year period that ended on December 31, 2017. The Company did not accrue an estimated earn-out obligation based upon a probability weighted valuation model of the projected EBITDA results, which indicated that the minimum target would not be achieved. Approximately $7,600 of the purchase price related to amounts held in escrow to satisfy potential indemnity claims made under the purchase agreement. Headquartered in Houston, TX, IOS is a leading independent provider of tubular management services with operations in every significant oil and gas producing region in the continental United States. The acquisition is included within our Tubular and Energy Services segment from the date of acquisition.

Acquisition Summary
Each transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which requires an acquiring entity to recognize, with limited exceptions, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at fair value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill primarily represents the value paid for each acquisition’s enhancement to the Company’s product and service offerings and capabilities, as well as a premium payment related to the ability to control the acquired assets.
No acquisition-related costs were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company incurred $760 of acquisition-related costs that are included in the results of operations within selling and administrative costs for the year ended December 31, 2015.




The following unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement presents the Company’s results as if the acquisitions of IOS and Tew had occurred on January 1, 2015. The 2015 pro forma results include the impact of the current year impairment of goodwill as further described in Note 4:
