Acquisitions and Dispositions ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Acquisitions
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we acquired a 35% minority interest in a South American-based fully integrated poultry company for approximately $100 million. We are accounting for the investment under the equity method.
On November 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of a Saudi Arabia-based Tanmiah Food Company, through which we will acquire a 60% equity stake in Supreme Foods Processing Company, a producer and distributor of value-added and cooked chicken and beef products, and a 15% equity stake in Agricultural Development Company, a fully integrated poultry company, for a total purchase price of approximately $70 million.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we acquired a 49% minority interest in a Malaysian producer of feed and poultry products for $44 million in addition to future contingent payments of up to approximately $65 million. We are accounting for the investment under the equity method.
On January 15, 2020, we acquired a 40% minority interest in a vertically-integrated Brazilian poultry producer for $122 million. On February 7, 2020, we acquired a 50% interest in a joint venture serving the worldwide fats and oils market for $61 million. We are accounting for both of these investments under the equity method.
Dispositions
We completed the sale of our pet treats business, which was included in our Prepared Foods segment, on July 6, 2021 for $1.2 billion, subject to certain adjustments. As a result of the sale, we recorded a pretax gain of $784 million, or post tax gain of $510 million, which was reflected in Cost of Sales in our Consolidated Statement of Income for our fiscal 2021. The business had a net carrying value of $411 million which included $44 million of working capital consisting of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, $17 million of property, plant and equipment and $350 million of goodwill. The goodwill was not deductible for tax purposes. The Company concluded the business was not a significant disposal and did not represent a strategic shift, and therefore was not classified as a discontinued operation for any of the periods presented.
