Headquartered in Randolph, New Jersey, Nexsight operates in the Company’s Water reporting unit within the Fluid & Metering Technologies (“FMT”) segment.

Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $54.7 million and $49.8 million, respectively. The goodwill is partially deductible for tax purposes.

The Company finalized the allocation of the purchase price for the Nexsight acquisition as of the acquisition date based on its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.
