Business Combinations and Dispositions [Abstract] |
Acquisitions and Divestitures | Acquisitions and Divestitures All of the Company’s acquisitions of businesses have been accounted for under ASC 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the accounts of the acquired companies, after adjustments to reflect the fair values assigned to assets and liabilities, have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated results since the date of each acquisition. The Company incurred acquisition-related transaction costs of $0.4 million and $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These costs were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and were related to completed transactions, pending transactions and potential transactions, including transactions that ultimately were not completed. 2018 Acquisition On July 23, 2018, the Company acquired Finger Lakes Instrumentation (“FLI”), a technology leader in the design, development and production of low-noise cooled CCD and high speed, high-sensitivity Scientific CMOS cameras for the astronomy and life science markets. Headquartered in Lima, NY, FLI operates in our Health & Sciences Technologies segment. FLI was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $23.6 million, consisting of $20.2 million in cash and contingent consideration valued at $3.4 million as of the opening balance sheet date. The contingent consideration is based on the achievement of financial objectives during the 24-month period following the close of the transaction. The entire purchase price was funded with cash on hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $12.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Acquired intangible assets consist of trade names, customer relationships and unpatented technology. The goodwill recorded for the acquisition reflects the strategic fit, revenue and earnings growth potential of this business. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The Company finalized its allocation of the purchase price for the FLI acquisition as of the acquisition date based on its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
