Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisition of Green Smoke | Acquisition of Green Smoke In April 2014, Nu Mark acquired the e-vapor business of Green Smoke, Inc. and its affiliates (“Green Smoke”) for a total purchase price of approximately $130 million. The acquisition complements Nu Mark’s capabilities and enhances its competitive position by adding e-vapor experience, broadening product offerings and strengthening supply chain capabilities. Green Smoke’s financial position and results of operations have been consolidated with Altria Group, Inc. as of April 1, 2014. Pro forma results, as well as net revenues and net earnings for Green Smoke subsequent to the acquisition, have not been presented because the acquisition of Green Smoke is not material to Altria Group, Inc.’s consolidated results of operations. The purchase price allocation has been completed, and there were no changes subsequent to the acquisition date. Costs incurred to effect the acquisition, as well as integration costs, were recognized as expenses in the periods in which the costs were incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, Altria Group, Inc. incurred $7 million and $28 million, respectively, of pre-tax integration and acquisition-related costs, consisting primarily of contract termination costs, transaction costs and inventory adjustments, which were included in Altria Group, Inc.’s consolidated statements of earnings.
