What is Purchase Price Allocation (PPA)?

Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) is an appraisal process used to determine the value of property as part of a broader transaction. A common example is a business acquisition of a company that owns their building. In this case, you’re not just purchasing a company - you’re also purchasing and valuating the property that company owns. 

It’s also important to note that PPA only focuses on the real estate or property itself, and does not include equipment inside the property, inventory, or the business operations.

PPA is often required to:

• Support financial reporting
• Defend valuations during audits by financial institutions
• Clearly separate real estate value from non-real-estate assets
   

Example Business Acquisition with Real Estate Property

Summary: A business acquires another company that owns a building where they operate from.

Scenario: A plumbing company purchases a smaller plumbing business that owns its own building and equipment.

• The PPA appraisal focuses only on the building
• Equipment, inventory, and supplies are excluded from the appraisal 
• The result is a clear, defensible valuation of the real property asset

This mirrors a business acquisition scenario, where the building’s value must be isolated and documented.

Post-Acquisition Revaluation

A business that previously purchased a building wants to reassess its value.

Example: One year after acquisition, the business performs a self-valuation of the building for financial or audit purposes.

PPA provides a structured, supportable method for reevaluating the real estate asset—independent of business operations or contents.
