Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions Business acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method, with the acquired assets and liabilities recorded at estimated fair value on the dates of acquisition. The cost in excess of the net assets of the business acquired is included in goodwill. Operating results since the respective dates of acquisitions are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. 2023 Acquisitions On August 24, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of the ARAG Group and its subsidiaries (ARAG Group or ARAG) pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2023, by and among the Company, its Italian subsidiary, Capvis Equity V LP (Capvis), DRIP Co-Investment (DRIP), and certain individuals (the Individual Sellers, and together with Capvis and DRIP, collectively, the Sellers). ARAG is a global market and innovation leader in the development, production and supply of precision control systems and smart fluid components for agricultural spraying. ARAG will operate as a division of our Industrial Precision Solutions segment. In anticipation of the acquisition, the Company entered into a €760,000 senior unsecured term loan facility with a group of banks in August 2023 (the Term F acility). The Term Facility has a 364-day term and matures in August 2024, and loans under the facility bear interest at a eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin that will range from 1.1250% to 1.625% based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio (as defined in the term loan credit agreement and calculated on a consolidated net debt basis). The all-cash ARAG acquisition of approximately €957,000, net of the repayment of approximately €30,300 of debt of the acquired companies, was funded using the Term Facility and Revolving Facility. The financial results of the ARAG Group acquisition are not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. On November 3, 2022, we acquired 100% of CyberOptics Corporation (CyberOptics). CyberOptics is a leading global developer and manufacturer of high-precision 3D optical sensing technology solutions. The CyberOptics acquisition expanded our test and inspection platform, providing differentiated technology that expands our product offering in the semiconductor and electronics industries and is reported in our Advanced Technology Solutions segment. We acquired CyberOptics for an aggregate purchase price of $377,843, net of cash of approximately $40,890, funded using borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Based on the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, goodwill of $279,630 and identifiable intangible assets of $58,600 were recorded. The identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of $15,200 of tradenames (amortized over fifteen years), $14,600 of technology (amortized over seven years), and $28,800 of customer contracts (amortized over twelve years). T he results of CyberOptics are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. As of July 31, 2023, t he purchase price allocation remains preliminary as we complete our assessment of intangibles and income taxes. The assets and liabilities acquired were as follows:

2022 Acquisition On November 1, 2021, we acquired 100% of NDC Technologies (NDC), a leading global provider of precision measurement solutions for in-line manufacturing process control. NDC's technology portfolio includes in-line measurement sensors, gauges and analyzers using near-infrared, laser, X-ray, optical and nucleonic technologies, as well as proprietary algorithms and software. We acquired NDC for an aggregate purchase price of $171,613, net of cash of approximately $7,533 and other working capital adjustments of $2,763, utilizing cash on hand. Based on the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, goodwill of $131,129 and identifiable intangible assets of $31,130 were recorded. The identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of $10,800 of tradenames (amortized over thirteen years), $10,000 of technology (amortized over seven years), $9,500 of customer relationships (amortized over four years) and $830 of non-compete agreements (amortized over three years).
