ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Acquisition of SwiftWater Energy Services

On February 28, 2018, pursuant to a purchase agreement dated February 13, 2018 (the "SwiftWater Purchase Agreement"), we purchased all of the equity interests in SwiftWater Energy Services, LLC ("SwiftWater"), which is engaged in the business of providing water management and water solutions to oil and gas operators in the Permian Basin market of Texas. Strategically, the acquisition of SwiftWater enhances our position as one of the leading integrated water management companies, providing water transfer, storage, and treatment services, along with proprietary automation technology and numerous other water-related services.

Under the terms of the SwiftWater Purchase Agreement, consideration of $42.0 million of cash, subject to a working capital adjustment, and 7,772,021 shares of our common stock (valued at $28.2 million) were paid at closing. Subsequent to closing, in August 2018, a working capital adjustment of approximately $1.0 million was paid. The sellers also have the right to receive contingent consideration payments, in an aggregate amount of up to $15.0 million, calculated on EBITDA and revenue (each as defined in the SwiftWater Purchase Agreement) of the combined water management business of SwiftWater and our pre-existing operations in the Permian Basin in respect of the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. The contingent consideration may be paid in cash or shares of our common stock, at our election.

As of the February 28, 2018 closing date, our allocation of the SwiftWater purchase price is as follows (in thousands):
Current assets
$
16,880

Property and equipment
11,631

Intangible assets
41,960

Goodwill
15,560

Total assets acquired
86,031

 
 
Current liabilities
7,189

Total liabilities assumed
7,189

Net assets acquired
$
78,842


The above allocation of the purchase price to the SwiftWater net tangible assets and liabilities considers approximately $7.6 million of the initial estimated fair value for the liabilities associated with the contingent purchase price consideration. The initial fair value of the obligation to pay the contingent purchase price consideration was calculated based on the anticipated EBITDA and revenue as of the closing date for the operations of SwiftWater and our pre-existing operations in the Permian Basin and could have increased (to $15.0 million) or decreased (to $0) depending on the actual earnings from these operations. Increases or decreases in the value of the anticipated contingent purchase price consideration liability due to changes in the amounts paid or expected to be paid are charged or credited to earnings in the period in which such changes occur. During the period from the closing date to December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value for the liabilities associated with the contingent purchase price consideration increased to $11.0 million, resulting in $3.4 million being charged to other (income) expense, net, during the year ended December 31, 2018. A $10.0 million portion of the liability for contingent consideration was based on EBITDA and revenue during 2018 and is classified as Accrued Liabilities as of December 31, 2018 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The allocation of the purchase price to the SwiftWater net tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets, as well as the initial estimated fair value for the liabilities associated with the contingent purchase price consideration, as of February 28, 2018, is final and adjustments to the purchase price allocation have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018. The allocation of purchase price includes approximately $15.6 million of deductible goodwill allocated to our Water & Flowback Services segment, and is supported by the strategic benefits discussed above and expected to be generated from the acquisition. The acquired property and equipment is stated at fair value, and depreciation on the acquired property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each asset. Machinery and equipment is depreciated using useful lives of 3 to 15 and automobiles and trucks are depreciated using useful lives of 3 to 4 years. The acquired intangible assets include $3.3 million for the trademark/tradename, $37.2 million for customer relationships, and $1.5 million of other intangible assets that are stated at estimated fair value and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 16 years. These identified intangible assets are recorded net of $2.5 million of accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2018.

Subsequent to the February 28, 2018 acquisition closing date, we have continued to integrate the acquired SwiftWater operations into our existing Water & Flowback Services Division in the Permian Basin in order to better serve our customers through seamless combined service offerings. With the addition of SwiftWater services, such as water treatment, we are now able to offer integrated water management services to both TETRA and SwiftWater customers that would have not been possible prior to the acquisition. Moreover, services performed for certain pre-acquisition SwiftWater customers have utilized TETRA employees and equipment. Similarly, certain pre-SwiftWater acquisition TETRA customers have utilized SwiftWater employees, equipment, and services. We have also added to SwiftWater's fleet of operating equipment through additional capital expenditures. As a result of the combined operations, the distinction of the revenue originating from SwiftWater versus TETRA is a subjective estimate. Due to these limitations, we have considered the $95.6 million of revenues for services performed for pre-acquisition SwiftWater customers subsequent to the closing on February 28, 2018 as the estimate of the impact from the SwiftWater acquisition on our consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018.

As a result of our focus since the date of the acquisition on integrating and managing SwiftWater services with our pre-existing operations in the Permian Basin, quantifying the financial impact on our consolidated earnings of the operations specific to SwiftWater is impracticable. SwiftWater acquisition-related costs of approximately $0.4 million were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2018, consisting of external legal fees, transaction consulting fees, and due diligence costs. These costs have been recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Acquisition of JRGO Energy Services LLC

On December 6, 2018, we purchased JRGO Energy Services LLC (“JRGO”) for a cash purchase price of $7.6 million paid at closing, subject to a working capital adjustment. In addition, contingent consideration of up to $1.5 million is to be paid during 2019, based on JRGO's performance during the fourth quarter of 2018. JRGO specializes in delivering comprehensive water management services for oil and gas operators, as well as municipal, state and federal organizations. JRGO will be integrated into our Water & Flowback Services Division. The acquisition of JRGO broadens our footprint in the Appalachian region and is expected to provide our customers an enhanced, more efficient, diverse, and strategically positioned portfolio of integrated water management services in the Marcellus and Utica basins.

As of December 31, 2018, subject to completion of management's review, our preliminary allocation of the JRGO purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

Current assets

2,173

Property and equipment

Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

The pro forma information presented below has been prepared to give effect to the SwiftWater acquisition as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. The impact of the acquisition of JRGO is not significant and is therefore not included in the pro forma information. The pro forma information includes the impact from the allocation of the SwiftWater acquisition purchase price on depreciation and amortization. The pro forma information also excludes the SwiftWater acquisition-related costs charged to earnings during the 2018 period. The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is based on estimates and assumptions we deemed appropriate. The following pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved if the SwiftWater acquisition transaction had occurred in the past, and our operating results may have been different from those reflected in the pro forma information below. Therefore, the pro forma information should not be relied upon as an indication of the operating results that we would have achieved if the SwiftWater transaction had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented or the future results that we will achieve after the transaction.

Sale of Offshore Division

On March 1, 2018, we closed a series of related transactions that resulted in the disposition of our Offshore Division. Pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement") with Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco"), Orinoco purchased certain remaining offshore oil, gas and mineral leases and related assets of Maritech (the "Maritech Properties"). Immediately thereafter, we closed the transactions contemplated by a Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement") with Orinoco, whereby Orinoco purchased all of the equity interests of Maritech (the "Maritech Equity Interests"). Immediately thereafter, we closed the transactions contemplated by an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Offshore Services Purchase Agreement") with Epic Offshore Specialty, LLC, an affiliate of Orinoco ("Epic Offshore"), whereby Epic Offshore (the "Offshore Services Sale") purchased all of the equity interests in the wholly owned subsidiaries that comprised our Offshore Services segment operations (the "Offshore Services Equity Interests").
 
Under the terms of the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement, the Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement, and the Offshore Services Purchase Agreement, the consideration delivered by Orinoco and Epic Offshore for the Maritech Properties, the Maritech Equity Interests and the Offshore Services Equity Interests consisted of (i) the assumption by Orinoco of substantially all of the liabilities and obligations relating to the ownership, operation and condition of the Maritech Properties and the provision of certain indemnities by Orinoco to us under the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement, (ii) the assumption by Orinoco of substantially all of the liabilities of Maritech and the provision of certain indemnities by Orinoco under the Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement, (iii) the assumption by Epic Offshore of substantially all of the liabilities of the Offshore Services Equity Interests relating to the periods following the closing of the Offshore Services Sale and the provision of certain indemnities by Epic Offshore under the Offshore Services Purchase Agreement, (iv) cash in the amount $3.1 million (v) a promissory note in the original principal amount of $7.5 million payable by Epic Offshore to us in full, together with interest at a rate of 1.52% per annum, on December 31, 2019, (vi) performance by Orinoco under a Bonding Agreement executed in connection with the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement and the Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement whereby Orinoco provided at closing non-revocable performance bonds in an amount equal to $46.8 million to cover the performance by Orinoco and Maritech of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech, and (vii) the delivery of a personal guaranty agreement from Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke guaranteeing the payment obligations of Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement (collectively, the "Transaction Consideration"). Pursuant to the Bonding Agreement, Orinoco is required to replace, within 90 days following the closing, the initial bonds delivered at closing with non-revocable performance bonds, meeting certain requirements, in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million. Orinoco has not delivered such replacement bonds and we are seeking to enforce the terms of the Bonding Agreement. The non-revocable performance bonds delivered at the closing remain in effect.

As a result of these transactions, we have effectively exited the businesses of our Offshore Services and Maritech segments, and these operations are reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. See Note F - "Discontinued Operations" for further discussion. Our consolidated pre-tax results of operations for the year period ending December 31, 2018 included a loss on the disposal of our Offshore Division of $34.1 million, net of tax, including transaction costs of $1.4 million.
