Acquisitions and Divestitures Acquisitions and Divestitures
All of the Company’s acquisitions of businesses have been accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies, after adjustments to reflect the fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities, have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets from their respective dates of acquisition. The results of operations of businesses acquired have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisitions did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements individually or in the aggregate.

The Company makes a preliminary allocation of the purchase price for each acquisition as of the acquisition date based on its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As the Company continues to obtain additional information, primarily related to the valuations of these assets and liabilities, and continues to integrate the newly acquired business, the Company will refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price through the completion of the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. Only items that existed as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment to the purchase price allocation.
