Pediatric Therapeutic Services

On May 2, 2022, KSU acquired 100% of the membership interests of PTS for a purchase price of $82.1 million. PTS is a specialty firm that provides and manages various state and federally mandated in-school therapy services. This acquisition will expand Kelly Education's K-12 solution offering in the education staffing market and serve as an entry point into the therapeutic services market. Under terms of the purchase agreement, the purchase price was adjusted for cash held by PTS at the closing date and estimated working capital adjustments resulting in the Company paying cash of $85.7 million. Total consideration includes $1.1 million of additional consideration that is payable to the seller by the end of 2022 related to employee retention credits. The total consideration is as follows (in millions of dollars):


Cash consideration paid	$	85.7
Additional consideration payable	1.1
Total consideration	$	86.8

Due to the limited amount of time that has passed since acquiring PTS, the purchase price allocation for this acquisition is preliminary and could change. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (in millions of dollars):


Cash	$	0.9
Trade accounts receivable	10.0
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	1.6
Net property and equipment	0.4

Intangibles	40.3

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current	(2.6)

Accrued payroll and related taxes, current	(0.1)



Total consideration, including working capital adjustments	$	86.8

The fair value of the acquired receivables represents the contractual value. Included in the assets purchased in the PTS acquisition was $40.3 million of intangibles, made up of $29.8 million in customer relationships, $9.3 million associated with PTS's trade names and $1.2 million for non-compete agreements. Customer relationships will be amortized over 15 years with no residual value, trade names will be amortized over 15 years with no residual value, and the non-compete agreements will be amortized over five years with no residual value. Goodwill generated from the acquisition was primarily attributable to expected synergies from combining operations and expanding market potential and was assigned to the Education operating segment (see Goodwill footnote). All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

PTS's results of operations are included in the Education segment. Our consolidated revenues and earnings from operations for the second quarter and June year-to-date 2022 included $7.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, from PTS. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as the acquisition does not have a material impact to the consolidated statements of earnings.
