BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

2019 Acquisition

On March 1, 2019, the Company acquired certain assets of a privately-owned company for $10.4 million. The acquired assets complement the Safety-Kleen segment's core service offerings, such as used motor oil collection, parts washers, oil filter recycling and vacuum services. In connection with this acquisition, a preliminary goodwill amount of $6.8 million was recognized.

2018 Acquisitions

On August 31, 2018, the Company acquired a privately-owned company which expands the environmental services and waste oil capabilities of the Company for a $27.3 million purchase price, net of cash. The acquired company is included in the Safety-Kleen and Environmental Services segments. In connection with this acquisition, a preliminary goodwill amount of $12.4 million was recognized. The results of operations of this acquired business were not material in 2019.

On February 23, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of the U.S. Industrial Cleaning Business of Veolia Environmental Services North America LLC (the "Veolia Business"). The acquisition provides significant scale and industrial services capabilities while increasing the size of the Company's existing U.S. Industrial Services business. The Company acquired the Veolia Business for a purchase price of $124.5 million. The amount of pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was immaterial. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Veolia Business was fully integrated into the Environmental Services segment, and therefore it is impracticable to measure earnings attributable to the Veolia Business for that period.

The Company finalized purchase accounting for the Veolia Business in the first quarter of 2019. The components and allocation of the purchase price for the Veolia Business consist of the following amounts (in thousands):



	Final Allocation
Accounts receivable, including unbilled receivables	$	39,558
Inventories and supplies	1,126
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	828
Property, plant and equipment	72,243
Permits and other intangibles	5,140
Current liabilities	(18,372		)
Closure and post-closure liabilities	(354		)
Total identifiable net assets	100,169
Goodwill	24,331
Total purchase price	$	124,500

The weighted average amortization period for the intangibles acquired is 8.2 years. The excess of the total purchase price, which includes the aggregate cash consideration paid in excess of the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired, was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized is attributable to the expected operating synergies and growth potential that the Company expects to realize from this acquisition. Goodwill generated from the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.
