The amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in product cost of sales was $215.4 million the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Of the $215.4 million amortization, $5.5 million related to a prior period catchup of amortization associated with the final measurement period valuation adjustment recorded to the inventory balance.
