Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

2020 Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired five businesses in separate transactions, two of which are included within our Renewables segment, two in our Agtech segment, and one in our Residential segment. The purchase consideration for each acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values.

On December 31, 2020, the Company purchased all the outstanding membership interests of TerraSmart LLC and TerraTrak LLC (collectively, "TerraSmart"), a leading provider of screw-based, ground-mount solar racking technology, particularly used for solar projects installed on challenging terrain. The results of TerraSmart have been included in the Company's consolidated financial results since the date of acquisition within the Company's Renewables segment. The purchase consideration for the acquisition of TerraSmart was $223.9 million, which includes a working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments provided for in the equity purchase agreement.

The purchase price for the TerraSmart acquisition was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values estimated as of the date of acquisition. The Company has commenced the process to confirm the existence, condition and completeness of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to establish fair values of such acquired assets and assumed liabilities and to determine the amount of goodwill to be recognized as of the date of acquisition. Due to the timing of the acquisition, we continue to gather information supporting the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Accordingly, all amounts recorded are provisional. These provisional amounts are subject to change if new information is obtained concerning facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within a measurement period of up to one year from the date of acquisition. The final values may also result in changes to depreciation and amortization expense related to certain assets such as property, plant and equipment and acquired intangible assets. The preliminary excess consideration was recorded as goodwill and approximated $139.1 million, all of which is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified including workforce additions, growth opportunities, and increased presence in the domestic solar energy market. The final purchase price allocation will be completed no later than December 31, 2021.

The excess consideration was recorded as goodwill and approximated $32.2 million, all of which is deductible for tax purposes.

In determining the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the Company uses all available information to make fair value determinations using Level 3 unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, and therefore, engages independent valuation specialists to assist in the fair value determination of the acquired long-lived assets.

The acquisition of TerraSmart was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. The acquisitions of Sunfig, Architectural Mailboxes, Delta Separations and Thermo were funded from available cash on hand.

The Company recognized costs as a component of cost of sales related to the sale of inventory at fair value as a result of allocating the purchase price of recent acquisitions. The Company also incurred certain acquisition-related costs composed of legal and consulting fees. These costs were recognized as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

The acquisition-related costs consisted of the following for the three and six months ended June 30 (in thousands):
