NOTE 11.             BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company made fourteen  acquisitions during the six month period ended June 30, 2019, and 38 acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively, some of which have been disclosed on various press releases and related Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Acquisition of Clark Pest Control:

On April 30, 2019, the Company announced it had acquired Clark Pest Control of Stockton, Inc., “Clark Pest Control” located in Lodi, CA. Clark Pest Control is a leading pest management company in California and the nation's 8th largest pest management company according to PCT 100 rankings.   

Clark Pest Control has a customer base of approximately 145,000 customers, which are served from 26 service locations in 2 states. Clark Pest Control recorded revenues of approximately $139.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. This acquisition will broaden Rollins' market share considerably. The Company's consolidated statements of income include the results of operations of Clark Pest Control for the period beginning April 30, 2019 through June 30, 2019.

The Company engaged an independent valuation firm to determine the allocation of the purchase price to Goodwill and identifiable Intangible assets. The preliminary valuation resulted in the allocation of $191.9 million to goodwill, $112.7 million to customer contracts, and $49.8 million to other intangible assets, principally tradenames. The Company is in the process of analyzing the estimated values of assets and liabilities acquired, evaluating third-party valuations of certain tangible and intangible assets and finalizing its operating plans and, thus, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to material revision in its future financial statements. The finite-lived intangible assets, principally customer contracts, are being amortized over periods principally ranging from 5 to 10 years on a straight-lined basis.

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Goodwill from acquisitions represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. The carrying amount of goodwill was $563.1  million and $368.5 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Goodwill generally changes due to the timing of acquisitions, finalization of allocation of purchase prices of previous acquisitions and foreign currency translations. The carrying amount of goodwill in foreign countries was $55.2 million  at June 30, 2019 and $54.9 million at December 31, 2018.
