NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

On January 3, 2023, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interest of Producers Service Holdings LLC (“Producers”), an employee-owned pressure pumping services provider serving Appalachia and the Mid-Continent, for a total purchase consideration of $36.5 million, consisting of (i) Class A common stock valued at $12.9 million based on the acquisition date closing price of $21.40; (ii) cash consideration of $1.4 million; (iii) a working capital adjustment of $8.3 million paid in cash to the sellers of Producers in May 2023; and (iv) our pre-existing investment of $13.9 million. Throughout the six months ended June 30, 2023, we integrated Producers' operations. As a result, we track all stimulation services assets as one group and it would be impracticable to separately report Producers' revenues or pretax earnings subsequent to the acquisition.

On February 24, 2023, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in (i) Performance Proppants, LLC, (ii) Red River Land Holdings, LLC, (iii) Performance Royalty, LLC, (iv) Performance Proppants International, LLC, and (v) Sunny Point Aggregates, LLC (together, “Performance Proppants”) for a total purchase consideration of $462.5 million, consisting of (i) Class A common stock valued at $6.2 million based on the acquisition date closing price of $19.67; (ii) cash consideration of $452.1 million; and (iii) the settlement of a pre-existing receivable of $4.2 million. Performance Proppants is a frac sand provider in the Haynesville basin. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations include revenues of $59.3 million and $142.2 million, respectively, and pretax income of $25.5 million and $60.9 million, respectively, related to the Performance Proppants acquisition.

We accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations. The following table reflects pro forma revenues and net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 as if the 2022 and 2023 acquisitions had taken place on January 1, 2022. These unaudited pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of results that would have actually been obtained during the periods presented or that may be obtained in the future.

We generally used the cost approach to value acquired property, plant and equipment adjusted for the age, condition and utility of the associated assets. The market approach valuation technique was used for assets that had comparable market data available. Included in Performance Proppants property, plant and equipment valuation is mineral reserves valued at $248.3 million using the income approach, which is predicated upon the value of the future cash flows that an asset will generate over its economic life. The intangible assets related to the Performance Proppants acquisition represent customer relationships and the fair value was determined using the with-and-without method which is an income approach and considers the time needed to rebuild the customer base.

The amounts allocated to goodwill are attributable to the organized workforce and potential or expected synergies. The goodwill for Producers and Performance Proppants was recognized in the stimulation services and proppant production segments, respectively. We estimate that substantially all of the goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes.

The allocations of purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for these acquisitions are preliminary and subject to revisions during the measurement period, up to one year from the date the acquisition closed. These determinations include the use of estimates based on information that was available at the time these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared. We believe that the estimates used are reasonable; however, the estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available.

The measurement period adjustments for the stimulation services segment included an adjustment to finalize the estimate for contingent liabilities at the acquisition date for our U.S. Well Services acquisition.

The measurement period adjustments for the stimulation services segment included an adjustment to recognize a $5.3 million post-closing working capital adjustment related to our December 2022 acquisition of REV Energy Holdings, LLC ("REV"), which resulted in a reduction to the principal balance of our long-term debt payable to REV and a corresponding decrease to goodwill for the same amount.

The measurement period adjustment for the Proppant production segment related to adjustments to working capital balances for our Performance Proppant acquisition.
