Note 7: Acquisitions
During the first nine months of 2014, we completed five acquisitions qualifying as business combinations in exchange for aggregate net cash consideration of $193 million, the substantial majority of which was allocated to goodwill. For information on the assignment of goodwill to our operating segments, see “Note 9: Goodwill.” The completed acquisitions in the first nine months of 2014, both individually and in the aggregate, were not significant to our results of operations.
