Acquisitions and Dispositions Acquisitions and Dispositions

In 2019, we acquired four business operations. In 2018, we acquired one business operation and additionally acquired a controlling interest in a second business operation. In 2017, we acquired six business operations. We accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed from these operations are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The consolidated statements of operations include the results of operations for each acquired entity from the date of acquisition.

Rodoban Transportes Aereos e Terrestres Ltda., Rodoban Servicos e Sistemas de Seguranca Ltda., and Rodoban Seguranca e Transporte de Valores Ltda ("Rodoban")
Brazilian cash management business

On January 4, 2019, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Rodoban in Brazil for $134 million. The Rodoban business is expected to expand our operations in southeastern Brazil and will be integrated with our existing Brink's Brazil operations. Rodoban has approximately 2,900 employees, 13 branches and about 190 armored vehicles across its operations.

We estimated fair values for the assets purchased, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration as of the date of the acquisition in the following table. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We finalized our purchase price accounting in the fourth quarter of 2019. There have been no significant changes to our fair value estimates of the net assets acquired of Rodoban.
