Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisition | On May 14, 2018, we acquired the equity of Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, LLC (“Ainsworth”), a leading producer, distributor, and marketer of premium pet food and pet snacks, predominantly within the U.S., in an all-cash transaction valued at $1.9 billion. The transaction was funded with a bank term loan and borrowings under our commercial paper program of approximately $1.5 billion and $400.0, respectively. For additional information on the financing associated with this transaction, refer to Note 9: Debt and Financing Arrangements. During 2019, the final purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. We determined the estimated fair values based on independent appraisals, discounted cash flow analyses, quoted market prices, and other estimates made by management. The purchase price allocation included total intangible assets of $1.3 billion. The purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and, as a result, the excess was allocated to goodwill. As a result of the acquisition, we recognized total goodwill of $617.8 within the U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment, which represented the value we expected to achieve through the implementation of operational synergies and growth opportunities as a result of integrating Ainsworth into our U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment. Of the total goodwill, $446.0 was deductible for income tax purposes at the acquisition date, of which $392.9 remains deductible at January 31, 2020. The goodwill and indefinite-lived trademarks within the U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment, inclusive of the recently acquired Ainsworth business, remain susceptible to future impairment charges due to the narrow differences between fair value and carrying value. Any significant adverse change in our near or long-term projections or macroeconomic conditions could result in future impairment charges. For more information, see Note 8: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
