Acquisition [Abstract] |
Acquisition | 8. Acquisition ﻿ On June 1, 2018, Corning acquired substantially all of The 3M Company’s Communications Market Division including a manufacturing facility and certain other assets (collectively referred to as “Purchased Assets”) for approximately $801 million. The Purchased Assets constitute a business, which designs, manufactures and markets high bandwidth and optical fiber products. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. ﻿ A summary of the preliminary allocation of the total purchase price to the net tangible and other intangible assets acquired, with the remainder recorded as goodwill based on fair value is as follows (1) (in millions): ﻿
﻿ |  |  |
﻿ |  |  |
﻿Fixed assets |  | $ | 32
﻿Other net assets |  |  | 5
﻿Other intangible assets |  |  | 511
﻿Net tangible and intangible assets |  | $ | 548
﻿Purchase price |  |  | 801
﻿Goodwill (2) |  | $ | 253
﻿ (1)Amounts reflect measurement period adjustments. (2)The goodwill recognized is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The goodwill was allocated to the Optical Communications segment. ﻿ Goodw ill is related to the value of 3M’s Communications Market Division product and customer portfolio and its combination with Corning’s existing optical communications platform, as well as synergies and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition. Other intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade names and developed technology and are amortized over various useful lives ranging from 3 to 14 years. Acquisition-related costs of $16 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, included costs for legal, accounting, valuation and other professional services and were included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Supplemental pro forma information was not provided because the Purchased Assets are not material to Corning’s consolidated financial statements.
