Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | ACQUISITIONS For a description of the Company’s acquisition activity for the year ended December 31, 2020, reference is made to the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Note 3 thereto included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report. The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit with the Company’s existing portfolio or expand the Company’s portfolio into a new and attractive business area. The Company has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as purchases and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s financial statements. This goodwill arises because the purchase prices for these businesses reflect a number of factors including the future earnings and cash flow potential of these businesses, the multiple to earnings, cash flow and other factors at which similar businesses have been purchased by other acquirers, the competitive nature of the processes by which the Company acquired the businesses, avoidance of the time and costs which would be required (and the associated risks that would be encountered) to enhance the Company’s existing product offerings to key target markets and enter into new and profitable businesses and the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations. The Company makes an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtains this information during due diligence and through other sources. In the months after closing, as the Company obtains additional information about these assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, and learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. The fair values of acquired intangibles are determined based on estimates and assumptions that are deemed reasonable by the Company. Significant assumptions include the discount rates and certain assumptions that form the basis of the forecasted results of the acquired business including revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), growth rates, royalty rates and technology obsolescence rates. These assumptions are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. The Company engages third-party valuation specialists who review the Company’s critical assumptions and calculations of the fair value of acquired intangible assets in connection with significant acquisitions. Only facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment. The Company is continuing to evaluate certain pre-acquisition contingencies associated with its 2021 and 2020 acquisitions and is also in the process of obtaining valuations of certain acquisition-related assets and liabilities in connection with these acquisitions. T he Company will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required. On August 30, 2021, the Company acquired Aldevron, L.L.C. (“Aldevron”) for a cash purchase price of approximately $9.6 billion (the “Aldevron Acquisition”). Aldevron manufactures high-quality plasmid DNA, mRNA and proteins, serving biotechnology and pharmaceutical customers across research, clinical and commercial applications, and is now part of the Company’s Life Sciences segment. Aldevron generated revenues of approximately $300 million in 2020. The acquisition of Aldevron is expected to provide additional sales and earnings opportunities for the Company by expanding product line diversity, including new product offerings supporting genomic medicine. The Company financed the Aldevron Acquisition using cash on hand and proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper. In addition to the Aldevron Acquisition, during the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021, the Company acquired nine other businesses for total consideration of approximately $1.1 billion in cash, net of cash acquired. The businesses acquired complement existing units of each of the Company’s three segments. The aggregate annual sales of these nine businesses at the time of their acquisition, in each case based on the company’s revenues for its last completed fiscal year prior to the acquisition, were $93 million. The following summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for the Aldevron Acquisition, and separately for all other acquisitions during the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021 ($ in millions):
| Aldevron |  | Others |  | Total
Trade accounts receivable | $ | 46 |  |  | $ | 16 |  |  | $ | 62 |
Inventories | 93 |  |  | 26 |  |  | 119 |
Property, plant and equipment | 142 |  |  | 11 |  |  | 153 |
Goodwill | 6,078 |  |  | 821 |  |  | 6,899 |
Other intangible assets, primarily technology, customer relationships and trade names | 3,514 |  |  | 328 |  |  | 3,842 |
Trade accounts payable | (15) |  |  | (8) |  |  | (23) |
Deferred tax liabilities | (208) |  |  | (76) |  |  | (284) |
Other assets and liabilities, net | (64) |  |  | (40) |  |  | (104) |
Fair value of net assets acquired | 9,586 |  |  | 1,078 |  |  | 10,664 |
Less: noncash consideration | (23) |  |  | (13) |  |  | (36) |
Net cash consideration | $ | 9,563 |  |  | $ | 1,065 |  |  | $ | 10,628 |
On March 31, 2020, the Company acquired the Biopharma business of General Electric Company’s (“GE”) Life Sciences division, now known as Cytiva, for a cash purchase price of approximately $20.7 billion (net of approximately $0.1 billion of acquired cash) and the assumption of approximately $0.4 billion of pension liabilities (the “Cytiva Acquisition”). Cytiva is a leading provider of instruments, consumables and software that support the research, discovery, process development and manufacturing workflows of biopharmaceutical drugs. Cytiva is included in the Company’s Life Sciences segment results beginning in the second quarter of 2020. The acquisition has provided and is expected to provide additional sales and earnings growth opportunities for the Company’s Life Sciences segment by expanding the business’ geographic and product line diversity, including new product and service offerings that complement the Company’s existing biologics workflow solutions. To fulfill a condition to obtaining certain regulatory approvals for the closing of the transaction, on April 30, 2020, the Company divested certain of its existing product lines in the Life Sciences segment for a cash purchase price, net of cash transferred and transaction costs, of $826 million and recognized a pretax gain on sale of $455 million ($305 million after-tax or $0.42 per diluted common share). The divested product lines in the aggregate generated revenues of approximately $170 million in 2019. The divestiture of these product lines did not represent a strategic shift with a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and therefore is not reported as a discontinued operation. Pro Forma Financial Information The unaudited pro forma information for the periods set forth below gives effect to the 2021 and 2020 acquisitions as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2020. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisitions been consummated as of that time ($ in millions, except per share amounts):
| Three-Month Period Ended |  | Nine-Month Period Ended
| October 1, 2021 |  | October 2, 2020 |  | October 1, 2021 |  | October 2, 2020
Sales | $ | 7,280 |  |  | $ | 5,992 |  |  | $ | 21,546 |  |  | $ | 16,605 |
Net earnings from continuing operations | 1,159 |  |  | 960 |  |  | 4,483 |  |  | 1,890 |
Diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations (a) | 1.54 |  |  | 1.27 |  |  | 6.00 |  |  | 2.50 |
(a) Diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations is calculated by adding the interest accrued on the Company’s LYONs to net earnings from continuing operations and deducting the MCPS dividends from net earnings from continuing operations for the anti-dilutive MCPS shares (refer to Note 15 for additional information). The 2021 unaudited pro forma net earnings set forth above were adjusted to exclude the pretax impact of $17 million of non-recurring acquisition date fair value adjustments to inventory and the 2020 unaudited pro forma net earnings were adjusted to include the impact of the inventory fair value adjustment related to the Aldevron Acquisition. In addition, acquisition-related transaction costs of $28 million related to the Aldevron Acquisition in the three and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2021 were excluded from pro forma net earnings. The 2021 unaudited pro forma sales and net earnings set forth above were adjusted to exclude the pretax impact of $46 million of non-recurring acquisition date fair value adjustments to inventory and deferred revenue related to the Cytiva Acquisition in the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021. The 2020 unaudited pro forma sales and net earnings were adjusted to include the impact of these items. In addition, acquisition-related transaction costs of $59 million for the nine-month period ended October 2, 2020, associated with the Cytiva Acquisition were excluded from pro forma net earnings. The pretax gain of $455 million ($305 million after-tax) for the nine-month period ended October 2, 2020 related to the divestiture of certain product lines that was required as a condition to obtaining certain regulatory approvals for the closing of the Cytiva Acquisition was excluded from the 2020 pro forma net earnings.
