Acquisitions

Global Parts Group, Inc

On July 26, 2021, our Aviation segment acquired Global Parts Group, Inc. ("Global Parts"), a privately owned company with operations in Augusta, Kansas. Global Parts provides distribution and MRO services for business and general aviation ("B&GA") aircraft families. The acquisition expands our existing B&GA focus and further diversifies our existing product and
platform offerings to include additional airframe components, while expanding our customer base of regional and global B&GA customers.

The cash purchase price for Global Parts was approximately $40 million, net of cash acquired, which was funded using our existing bank revolving loan. The purchase price included $2 million of contingent consideration. Refer to Note (17) "Fair Value Measurements," for additional information regarding the earn-out obligation.

We completed the purchase accounting valuation for this transaction in 2021 and recorded the final purchase price allocation as follows (in thousands):

Description Fair Value
Accounts receivable $ 6,410 
Inventories 13,240 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets 620 
Property and equipment 368 
Intangibles - customer related 16,000 
Goodwill 10,019 
Operating lease right-of-use-assets 3,043 
Long-term deferred tax assets 1,775 
Accounts payable (6,112)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities (1,936)
Long-term operating lease liabilities (2,874)
Net assets acquired, excluding cash $ 40,553 
Cash consideration, net of cash acquired $ 38,553 
Acquisition date estimated fair value of earn-out obligation 2,000 
Total consideration $ 40,553 

The value attributed to the customer relationship intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis using a useful life of 15 years. None of the value attributed to goodwill and customer relationships was deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition reflects the strategic advantage of expanding our supply chain management capabilities through the diversification of our existing product and platform offerings to new customers.

We incurred approximately $0.5 million of acquisition-related expenses associated with our Global Parts acquisition for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Global Parts' results of operations are included in our Aviation segment in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date of July 26, 2021. Had the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2020, revenue and net income (loss) from consolidated operations, and basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share on a pro forma basis for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would not have been materially different than our reported amounts.

HAECO Special Services, LLC

On March 1, 2021, our Federal and Defense segment acquired HAECO Special Services, LLC ("HSS") from HAECO Airframe Services, LLC, a division of HAECO Americas ("HAECO") for the purchase price of $14.8 million. HSS is a leading provider of fully integrated MRO support solutions for military and government aircraft. HSS provides scheduled depot maintenance, contract field deployment and unscheduled drop-in maintenance for a United States DoD contract specifically for the sustainment of the U.S. Air Force ("USAF") KC-10 fleet. HSS operating results are included in our Federal and Defense segment in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date of March 1, 2021. The acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements.
The final allocation of the purchase price resulted in approximately $7.0 million to the fair value of net tangible assets (including $9.2 million of accounts receivable), $0.7 million to goodwill, and $7.2 million to customer relationship intangible asset, which is being amortized over approximately 4 years from the acquisition date.We incurred approximately $0.3 million of acquisition-related expenses associated with our HSS acquisition for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
