(ATCO) for approximately $156.7 million, net of the estimated working capital adjustment. The total purchase price consisted of $151.4 million in cash at closing and a contingent consideration arrangement which requires the Company to pay the former owner up to $12.0 million based on EBITDA growth of the acquired business. ATCO is an industry leader in the manufacturing and distribution of insulated HVAC flexible duct systems and will support the Company’s strategy to grow its Climate Products businesses to become a more valuable resource to its HVAC customers. The acquired business is reported in the Company’s Climate segment. For the year ended December 29, 2018, the Company’s total net sales included $90.0 million of revenue recognized by ATCO from the date of acquisition. ATCO had revenues of approximately $166.0 million in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 (unaudited). The following table presents condensed pro forma consolidated results of operations as if the ATCO acquisition has occurred at the beginning of 2017. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the operations had actually been combined during the periods presented, and is not necessarily indicative of operating results to be expected in future periods. The most significant pro forma adjustments to the historical results of operations relate to the application of purchase accounting and the financing structure.

(collectively, Heatlink Group) for approximately $17.2 million, net of working capital adjustments.

Jungwoo-Mueller, which manufactures copper-based pipe joining products, is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea and serves markets worldwide. This business complements the Company’s existing copper fittings businesses in the Piping Systems segment and is reported in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements one month in arrears. Purchase Price Allocations These acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting whereby the total purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on respective fair values. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to acquire these businesses, which were financed by available cash balances, as well as the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the respective acquisition dates. The purchase price allocation for ATCO is provisional as of December 29, 2018 and subject to change upon completion of the final valuation of the long-lived assets, contingent consideration, and final working capital adjustment during the measurement period. During 2018, the valuation of the Heatlink Group acquisition was finalized. Changes to the purchase price allocation from the amounts presented in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K included the valuation of the contingent consideration of $0.9 million and the recognition of a deferred tax liability of $1.9 million that resulted from a basis difference in the long-lived assets acquired. These changes resulted in an increase to goodwill.

2017 Disposition Mueller-Xingrong On June 21, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive equity transfer agreement with Jiangsu Xingrong Hi-Tech Co. Ltd. and Jiangsu Baiyang Industries Co. Ltd. (Baiyang), together, the minority partners in Mueller-Xingrong (the Company’s Chinese joint venture), pursuant to which the Company sold its 50.5 percent equity interest in Mueller-Xingrong to Baiyang for approximately $18.3 million. Mueller-Xingrong manufactured engineered copper tube primarily for air-conditioning applications in China and was included in the Piping Systems segment. Mueller-Xingrong reported net sales of $67.3 million and net losses of $9 thousand in 2017, compared to net sales of $121.5 million and net income of $62 thousand in 2016. The carrying value of the assets disposed totaled $56.8 million, consisting primarily of accounts receivable, inventories, and long-lived assets. The carrying value of the liabilities disposed (consisting primarily of current debt and accounts payable), noncontrolling interest, and amounts recognized in AOCI totaled $36.2 million. Since the disposal constituted a complete liquidation of the Company’s investment in a foreign entity, the Company removed from AOCI and recognized a cumulative translation gain of $3.8 million. As a result of the disposal, the Company recognized a net gain on the sale of this business of $1.5 million in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
