12. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

We didnot acquire any businesses during the three months ended March 31, 2026. On September 9, 2025, we acquired a business consisting ofsix funeral homes, one cemetery, andone cremation focused business in the Orlando, FL area for approximately $49.0 million. The purchase price consisted of $47.0 million in cash at closing and $2.0 million of deferred purchase price payments. The net present value of such future deferred purchase price payments was $1.3 million. We acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain operating liabilities of these businesses.

On September 17, 2025, we acquired a business consisting oftwo funeral homes in the Pensacola, FL area for $9.5 million in cash. We acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain operating liabilities of this business.

The primary reasons for the acquisitions that contributed to the recognition of goodwill include enhancement of our footprint in strategic markets and the addition of deferred revenue that will enhance our long-term stability.

The pro forma impact of these acquisitions on prior periods is not presented, as the impact is not significant to our reported results. The results of the acquired businesses are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the breakdown of the preliminary purchase price allocation for the businesses described above (in thousands):

The purchase price allocation was updated for immaterial measurement-period adjustments; no other material changes to the acquisition accounting were identified. The purchase accounting is preliminary as we have not finalized our assessment of the fair value because there has been insufficient time between the acquisition date and the issuance of these financial statements to complete our review and the final determination of fair value. We are also currently reviewing the allocation of goodwill between segments.
