The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired has been assigned to goodwill. Goodwill represents the future benefits as a result of the acquisition that will enhance the services available to both new and existing customers and increase the Company’s competitive position. Goodwill will be evaluated for impairment at least annually. Goodwill attributable to the CTG Acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, a measurement period adjustment was identified as it relates to assumed accrued liabilities. The total measurement period adjustment was $0.5 million. The measurement period adjustment impacted the goodwill recognized on March 15, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is complete with the process of allocating the purchase price and valuing the acquired assets and liabilities assumed.

The following table sets forth the amounts allocated to the identified intangible assets, the estimated useful lives of those intangible assets as of the CTG Acquisition Date, and the methodologies used to determine the fair values of those intangible assets ($ in thousands):

SDPI is an innovative drilling and completion tool technology company providing cost saving solutions that drive production efficiencies for the oil and natural gas drilling industry. In addition, SDPI is a manufacturer and refurbisher of polycrystalline diamond compact drill bits for leading oil field services companies. The acquisition furthers the Company's growth strategy as a premier provider of technologically differentiated solutions and services for the global oil & gas drilling industry. The SDPI acquisition allows the company to vertically integrate around our proven and successful Drill-N-Ream® tool, gain global rights to run this tool, continue the Vernal, UT bit repair business supporting major OEMs of PDC drill bits, and leverage their high-spec machine shop. In addition, we acquired over 30 patents and patents pending, the majority of which have been granted.

The acquisition of SDPI has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company has been treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, SDPI's tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and its liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values on the SDPI Closing Date.

Additional information that existed as of the SDPI Closing Date may become known during the remainder of the measurement period, which will not extend beyond one year from the SDPI Closing Date.
