Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Acquisitions

In December 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Transporeon in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately €1.88 billion or $2.0 billion. Transporeon, a Germany-based company, is a leading cloud-based transportation management software platform that connects key stakeholders across the industry lifecycle to positively impact the optimization of global supply chains, in alignment with our Connect and Scale strategy. We believe the acquisition will advance our sustainability strategy by reducing under-utilized carrier capacity and “empty miles” and increase our international footprint and long-term Transportation opportunities. The acquisition will be funded through a combination of cash on hand and new debt. We expect this acquisition to close in the first half of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals in certain international countries. Following the closing, we intend to integrate Transporeon into our Transportation segment for financial reporting purposes.

In 2022, we acquired two businesses, with total purchase consideration of $379.5 million. The largest acquisition was Bid2Win Software, LLC, a leading provider of estimating and operations solutions for the heavy civil construction industry. In the aggregate, the businesses acquired contributed less than 1% of our total revenue during 2022. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income include the operating results of the acquired businesses from the date of acquisitions.

During 2021, we acquired AgileAssets, with total purchase consideration of $237.5 million. AgileAssets is a provider of SaaS solutions for transportation asset lifecycle management. The acquisition contributed less than 1% of our total revenue during 2021.

During 2020, we acquired three businesses, with total purchase consideration of $205.1 million. The acquisitions were not significant individually or in the aggregate. In the aggregate, the businesses acquired contributed less than 1% of our total revenue during 2020.

Acquisition costs of $20.4 million, $13.6 million, and $20.3 million in 2022, 2021, and 2020, were expensed as incurred and are included in Cost of sales and General and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Divestitures

In 2022, we divested six businesses with total proceeds of $226.3 million. The largest divestiture was the sale of Time and Frequency, LOADRITE, Spectra Precision Tools, and SECO accessories businesses to Precisional LLC, an affiliate of The Jordan Company (“TJC”), for $205.1 million in cash, which included a working capital adjustment.

In 2021 and 2020, divestitures were not material to the financial statements.
