ACQUISITIONS

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2019

We complete acquisitions from time to time in order to pursue our strategy of increasing our market presence by expanding our service base and enhancing our position in certain geographic areas as a leading provider of home health, hospice and personal care services. The purchase price paid for acquisitions is negotiated through arm’s length transactions, with consideration based on our analysis of, among other things, comparable acquisitions and expected cash flows. Acquisitions are accounted for as purchases and are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. Goodwill generated from acquisitions is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over tangible and identifiable intangible assets because of the expected contributions of the acquisitions to our overall corporate strategy. We typically engage outside appraisal firms to assist in the fair value determination of identifiable intangible assets for significant acquisitions. The preliminary purchase price allocation is adjusted, as necessary, up to one year after the acquisition closing date if management obtains more information regarding asset valuations and liabilities assumed.

On February 1, 2019, we acquired Compassionate Care Hospice ("CCH"), a national hospice care provider headquartered in New Jersey, for a purchase price of $327.9 million, net of cash acquired of $6.7 million.

The Company is in the process of finalizing its valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, we recorded measurement period adjustments based on changes to management's estimates and assumptions related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Based on the Company's preliminary valuation, the total estimated consideration of $327.9 million has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date as follows (amounts in millions):



	Amount
Patient accounts receivable	$	26.3
Prepaid expenses	0.8
Other current assets	0.2

Total estimated consideration	$	327.9

Intangible assets acquired include Medicare licenses, certificates of need, trade names and non-compete agreements. The trade names and non-compete agreements will be amortized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 and 2.3 years, respectively.
