Acquisitions

We account for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, which requires us to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Certain provisions of this standard prescribe, among other things, the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration) and the exclusion of transaction and acquisition related restructuring costs from acquisition accounting.

2018 Acquisitions

NYX Gaming Group Limited Purchase Price Allocation

On January 5, 2018, we completed the acquisition of all outstanding ordinary shares of NYX, creating a leading digital provider of sports wagering, iGaming and iLottery technologies, platforms, content, products and services. We paid $665.8 million in cash to acquire ordinary shares and other securities and to redeem NYX’s outstanding debt (including $91.9 million paid during the fourth quarter of 2017 to acquire NYX ordinary shares and other securities). The fair value of our NYX non-controlling equity interest held immediately before the acquisition date was $90.4 million.

We incurred $7.7 million and $15.1 million of NYX acquisition-related costs which were recorded in Restructuring and other for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price, which reflects an $8.1 million adjustment from the preliminary allocation during the first quarter of 2018 and primarily related to the provisional amounts recognized for certain receivables and liabilities for which we have subsequently obtained and evaluated more detailed information than existed at the measurement date:



	January 5, 2018
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	23.3
Accounts receivable and other current assets⁽¹⁾	55.8
Property and equipment and other non-current assets⁽¹⁾	22.1
Goodwill	368.3
Intangible assets	350.0
Total assets	$	819.5
Current liabilities⁽²⁾	$	74.5
Deferred income taxes	66.3
Assumed debt and other liabilities	299.7
Total liabilities	$	440.5
Total consideration transferred	$	379.0
(1) Including $40.5 million and $12.9 million of receivables and contract assets, respectively.
(2) Including $15.7 million of contract liabilities.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable and other current assets and most liabilities (other than as primarily related to deferred income taxes) were valued at the existing carrying values which approximated the estimated fair values. The fair value of deferred income taxes was determined by applying the applicable enacted statutory tax rate to the temporary differences that arose on the differences between the financial reporting value and tax basis of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

The fair value of intangible assets was determined using a combination of the relief from royalty method and the excess earnings method using Level 3 inputs in the hierarchy as established by ASC 820. The discount rates used in the valuation analysis ranged between 10% and 14%, and the royalty rate used was 0.5%. The following table details the intangible assets that have been identified:



	Fair Value		Weighted Average Useful Life (Years)
Customer relationships	$	214.0	7
Intellectual property⁽¹⁾	126.5		7
Trade names	9.5		7
(1) Primarily consists of core technology and content.

The factors contributing to the recognition of acquisition goodwill are based on enhanced financial and operational scale, market diversification, expected cost and operational synergies, assembled workforce and other strategic benefits. None of the resultant goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

NYX revenue and net loss since the acquisition date included in our consolidated results were as follows:



	Year Ended
	December 31, 2018
Revenue	$	198.0
Net loss	41.1

The acquired NYX business was combined with the business-to-business component of our previous Interactive business segment, forming the new Digital business segment.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 give effect to the NYX acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2017:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2018		2017
Revenue	$	3,363.2	$	3,265.2
Net loss	344.7		307.7

The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the operating results actually would have been if the NYX acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2017, nor is it indicative of future operating results. The pro forma amounts include the historical operating results of SGC and NYX prior to the acquisition, with adjustments factually supportable and directly attributable to the NYX acquisition, primarily related to the effect of fair value adjustments and related depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related fees and expenses, interest expense related to additional borrowings used to complete the acquisition and the effect of repayments of NYX historical debt as a result of the acquisition.

Other Acquisitions

On January 23, 2018, we acquired privately held Tech Art. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with substantially all of the cash consideration transferred allocated to intellectual property. Tech Art has been integrated into our Gaming business segment.

On November 1, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Don Best, a leading global supplier of real-time betting data and pricing for North American sporting events. Don Best was integrated into our Digital business segment.

2017 Acquisitions

On January 18, 2017, we closed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of DEQ Systems Corp. (“DEQ”), which was announced in the third quarter of 2016. DEQ was integrated into our Gaming business segment and expands the depth and breadth of our table product portfolio.

On April 7, 2017, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of privately held mobile and social game company Spicerack, which expands our existing portfolio of social casino games and our customer base. Spicerack was integrated into our Social business segment.

On April 25, 2017, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of privately held lottery sales force and retail performance technology and consulting services company Lapis Software Associates, LLC (“Lapis”), which expands our suite of value-added retail lottery products. Lapis was integrated into our Lottery business segment.

On July 7, 2017, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of privately held U.K.-based mobile and interactive casino content developer Red7, which expands our existing portfolio of mobile and interactive game titles. Red7 was integrated into our Digital business segment.

The following table summarizes an aggregate disclosure related to business acquisitions completed in 2018 and 2017, excluding the NYX acquisition:



	Total Consideration		Cash paid, net of cash acquired		Contingent Acquisition Consideration⁽¹⁾		Allocation of purchase price to Intangible assets, net⁽²⁾		Weighted average useful life of acquired intangible assets	Excess purchase price allocated to Goodwill
Aggregate total 2018	$	46.2	$	34.1	$	9.0	$	41.6	9.4 Years	$	10.8
Aggregate total 2017	66.0		57.7		7.5		56.4		8.3 Years	12.8
(1) Contingent consideration is determined by fair value and included in the consideration transferred (see Note 17 for subsequent changes due to remeasurements, which are recorded in Restructuring and other). (2) Intangible assets primarily consist of technology-based and customer relationship intangible assets. The fair value of these intangible assets was determined using a combination of a relief from royalty method and the excess earnings method using Level 3 in the hierarchy as established by ASC 820. The discount rates and royalty rates used in the valuation analysis ranged between 9% and 20% and 1% and 16%, respectively.

Contingent acquisition consideration value is primarily based on reaching certain earnings-based metrics, with a maximum payout of up to $49.2 million as of December 31, 2018.

Goodwill recognized relates to the Spicerack and Don Best acquisitions, and the factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill are based on expected synergies resulting from these acquisitions, including the expansion of the customer bases and new markets. Goodwill of $12.8 million attributable to the Spicerack acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes, while goodwill attributable to the Don Best acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The amount of revenue and earnings associated with the above acquisitions and since the acquisition date included in the consolidated financial statements were less than 5.0% for all of the periods presented, thus not significant to our consolidated financial statements.
