Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
ACQUISITION ACQUISITIONS
Inlanta Mortgage, Inc.
On December 12, 2022, the Company acquired certain assets of Inlanta Mortgage, Inc. (“Inlanta”) under the terms of an asset purchase agreement to expand the Company’s operations in the Midwest region. The total fair value of consideration transferred was $4.0 million, which consisted of $3.5 million of cash and the fair value of contingent consideration of $0.5 million.
Inlanta is entitled to earn-out payments based on certain performance criteria for three years. The fair value of the earn-out payments on the acquisition date was zero. The earn-out payments are subject to a clawback amount during the three-year earn-out period. Inlanta is also entitled to a one-time volume override cash payment due in 2024, which was valued at $0.5 million on the acquisition date.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination, under which the total purchase price is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Inlanta acquired in connection with the acquisition based on their preliminary fair values and are subject to change during the measurement period. Of the $4.0 million purchase price, we allocated $0.7 million to net assets and $3.3 million to goodwill. The goodwill resulting from the purchase price allocation reflects the expected synergistic benefits of expanding the Company's geographic locations and the existing workforce. The acquired goodwill was allocated to the Origination segment and is deductible for tax purposes.
The results of Inlanta are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Transaction costs associated with this transaction were not material and were expensed as incurred within general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Residential Mortgage Services Holdings, Inc.
On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Residential Mortgage Services Holdings, Inc. ("RMS"). RMS is an independent retail mortgage lender focused in the Northeast. This strategic acquisition expanded Guild’s presence in this region and added experienced loan officers to Guild’s sales force.
The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, whereby the purchase price paid was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from RMS based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date.
Total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $265.0 million. The acquisition was financed with a combination of $185.8 million in cash and the issuance of 996,644 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Additionally, RMS shareholders are entitled to contingent consideration based on net income from RMS branch locations for three years following June 1, 2021. These contingent consideration payments will be calculated and paid based on rolling 12-month periods commencing as of June 1, 2021 and ending on the first anniversary of such date, and thereafter on consecutive 12-month periods.
The fair value of the contingent consideration payments on the acquisition date was $64.0 million and was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo model based on estimated future revenues and volatility factors, among other variables and estimates, and has no maximum payment. The contingent consideration payments to the RMS shareholders are not capped; therefore there is no predetermined upper bound to the undiscounted range and an estimate of the range of outcomes cannot be estimated.
Goodwill was primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and future growth expected after the acquisition date and will not be deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill recognized was assigned to the Company's Origination segment. Transaction costs associated with the RMS acquisition were approximately $5.2 million and were expensed as incurred within general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Measurement period adjustments were recorded in the second quarter of 2022 and resulted in an immaterial decrease to goodwill and increase to income tax receivable (see Note 10). The following summarizes the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, including measurement period adjustments:

Purchase price:
Cash paid at closing of the transaction $ 185,786

Total liabilities assumed 489,926 
Fair value of net identifiable assets acquired 154,431 
Goodwill $ 110,600 
The fair value of the Company's Class A common stock issued was determined based on the closing market price of the Company's common shares on June 30, 2021, the last price prior to the close of the acquisition.
The identifiable intangible assets of $45.0 million are subject to amortization. The following table summarizes the major classes of acquired intangible assets and their respective estimated fair values and estimated useful lives:
Estimated Fair Value Estimated Useful Life (Years)
Acquired intangible assets:
Referral network $ 42,300  6
Non-compete agreements 2,700  3
Total acquired intangible assets $ 45,000 
RMS' net revenues were $104.6 million and net income was $12.8 million from the date of the acquisition through December 31, 2021. The acquisition of RMS has been fully integrated with the Company's existing operations; therefore, revenues and net income are not available for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The following table presents the unaudited pro forma information assuming the acquisition of RMS occurred on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma results reflect after-tax adjustments for amortization of acquired intangible assets and other immaterial adjustments for the effects of purchase accounting. The unaudited pro forma information is presented for information purposes only, and is not necessarily indicative of future operations or results had the acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2021:
Year Ended December 31, 2021
Net revenues $ 1,721,597 
Net income $ 307,854 
The Company did not have any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma net revenues and net income.
