2020 Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired five businesses in separate transactions, described further below, two of which are included within the Company's 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 allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values estimated as of the date of acquisition. The Company has completed the process to confirm the existence, condition and completeness of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to establish fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to determine the amount of goodwill to be recognized as of the date of acquisition. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities was completed within a measurement period of up to one year from the date of acquisition. The excess consideration was recorded as goodwill and approximated $141.0 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.
