| Assets Acquired in a Business Combination | Assets Acquired in a Business Combination On August 20, 2024, we acquired 4,120 acres of land along with other surface-related tangible and intangible assets (collectively referred to as the “Acquired Assets”) from an unaffiliated seller for total consideration of $45.0 million, in an all-cash transaction. There were no liabilities assumed by the Company in this transaction. The Acquired Assets generate revenue streams across water sales, produced water royalties, and SLEM revenue, and provide additional commercial growth opportunities for the Company to expand water sourcing and produced water opportunities to both new and existing customers. The Acquired Assets are located in the Midland Basin.
The Acquired Assets included the following:
The combination of the 25% non-operating working interest and the 10% royalty interest from the SWD system entitles the Company to 32.5% of produced water revenues generated from the SWD system. As a 25% non-operating working interest owner, the Company is also responsible for its 25% share of operating expenses associated with the SWD system. The operator of the SWD system is responsible for the day-to-day management and operations. Of the 4,120 acres of land acquired, approximately 392 acres are leased to, and operated by, an environmental solution (“ES”) company that operates a nonhazardous oilfield solids waste disposal site. The ES company pays a 7.5% royalty, on revenue generated, to the Company. The Company reports this as SLEM revenue.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method, and therefore, the Acquired Assets were recorded based on their fair value on a nonrecurring basis on the date of acquisition and are subject to fair value adjustments under certain circumstances. When determining the fair values of assets acquired, management made estimates, judgements and assumptions. Inputs used to determine fair values of assets included internally-developed models, risk-adjusted discount rates by asset class, publicly available data on land sales comparisons and other costs analysis. These fair values are considered Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. There was no goodwill recorded on this acquisition.
The Company’s determination of the fair value attributable to the Acquired Assets based on the fair value at the acquisition date is preliminary. Certain data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is subject to change. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation prior to December 31, 2024, during which time the value of the assets may be revised as appropriate. The following table presents the allocation of fair value by asset class as of August 20, 2024 (in thousands):
The Company incurred $0.1 million of transaction-related costs related to this asset acquisition during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and such costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
From August 20, 2024 through September 30, 2024, revenues and operating expenses from the business combination were approximately $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and are included in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Pro forma financial information is not disclosed as the acquisition was deemed not to have a material impact on our results of operations.
