| ACQUISITIONS, ASSET PURCHASES AND INVESTMENTS | ACQUISITIONS, ASSET PURCHASES AND INVESTMENTS We believe that our acquisitions of businesses and other assets enhance our existing businesses by either expanding our geographic range, customer base, or existing product and service lines. From time to time, we acquire reference laboratories, radiology practices, and other businesses or assets that we account for as either asset purchases or business combinations, depending on facts and circumstances. We also may acquire noncontrolling minority interests in business entities, which we recognize as equity investments, and commercial rights to certain technology through licensing agreements. Asset Purchase During September 2025, we acquired a customer relationship intangible asset of a privately-owned reference laboratory in the U.S. for approximately $15.6 million, including an estimated contingent payment of $2.3 million at the time of acquisition. The customer relationship intangible has an estimated life of 10 years. The revenue associated with the acquired customer relationships has been included in our CAG segment since the acquisition date.
