2023 Acquisitions

On January 3, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Griffin Underwriting Services (“Griffin”), a binding authority specialist and wholesale insurance broker headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, for cash consideration of $115.5 million.

On July 1, 2023, the Company completed the acquisitions of certain assets of ACE Benefit Partners, Inc. (“ACE”), a medical stop loss general agent headquartered in Eagle, Idaho, and Point6 Healthcare, LLC (“Point6”), a distributor of medical stop loss insurance on behalf of retail brokers and third-party administrators headquartered in Plano, Texas, for an aggregate $46.8 million of cash consideration and $2.3 million of contingent consideration.

On July 3, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Socius Insurance Services (“Socius”), a national wholesale insurance broker headquartered in Northern California, for $253.5 million of cash consideration, $5.8 million of contingent consideration, and $2.7 million of RYAN Class A common stock.

The $8.1 million of contingent consideration liabilities established for the acquisitions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were measured at the estimated acquisition date fair value and were non-cash investing transactions. These contingent consideration arrangements are based on the individual businesses’ revenue or EBITDA targets over the next one to two fiscal years.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the aggregate assets and liabilities acquired through the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as of the date of each acquisition:

1The acquired customer relationships have a weighted average amortization period of 13.2 years.

Estimates and assumptions used in the acquisition valuations are subject to change within the measurement period up to one year from each acquisition date. Estimated tax deductible goodwill of $91.9 million was generated as a result of these acquisitions. The Company recognized acquisition-related expenses, which include advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other costs related to diligence, for the acquisitions above of $0.8 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, in General and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

The Company recognized an aggregate $17.4 million and $29.0 million of revenue related to the acquisitions above from their respective acquisition dates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions were not material, either individually or in aggregate, to the Company’s total revenue or net income (loss) for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

Contingent Consideration

 

Total consideration for certain acquisitions includes contingent consideration, which is generally based on the EBITDA or revenue of the acquired business following a defined period after purchase. Further information regarding fair value measurements of contingent consideration is detailed in Note 13, Fair Value Measurements. The Company recognizes income or loss for the changes in fair value of estimated contingent consideration within Change in contingent consideration, and recognizes accretion of the discount on these liabilities within Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
