ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
In the first quarter of 2025, we acquired Frigo-Trans, an industry-leading, complex healthcare logistics provider based in Germany. The acquisition is expected to increase our complex cold-chain logistics capabilities internationally. During 2025, we also acquired franchise development areas for The UPS Store.
The aggregate purchase price for all acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was approximately $479 million, net of cash acquired, which are recorded within Supply Chain Solutions. Acquisitions were funded using cash from operations.
The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to change based on completion of our purchase accounting. Certain items, including our estimates of tax positions, are preliminary as of September 30, 2025. The preliminary purchase price allocation for acquired companies can be modified for up to one year from the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in millions):

(1)    Includes $40 million for acquisitions of development areas for The UPS Store.
Goodwill recognized upon acquisition of approximately $345 million is attributable to expected synergies from future growth, and has been assigned to Supply Chain Solutions. This goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Intangible assets acquired of approximately $180 million are primarily comprised of $137 million of customer relationships (amortized over a weighted average of 15 years). Other intangible assets acquired include franchise rights, licenses and trade names. The carrying value of accounts receivable approximates fair value.
In the second quarter of 2025, we completed the divestiture of a business within UPS Digital. In connection with this divestiture, we recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $20 million ($14 million after tax) during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The gain was recognized within Other expenses in our statement of consolidated income.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we completed the divestiture of Coyote, for cash proceeds, net of cash divested and direct transaction expenses, of $1.0 billion. These proceeds were recognized within Proceeds from disposal of businesses, property, plant and equipment in the statements of consolidated cash flows. In connection with the completion of that divestiture, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $156 million ($152 million after tax). The gain was recognized within Other expenses in the statements of consolidated income.
