The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which are primarily for the acquisition of Atlanta Electrical Distributors, LLC, are based upon preliminary calculations and valuations. WESCO's estimates and assumptions for its preliminary purchase price allocation are subject to change as it obtains additional information for its estimates during the respective measurement period (up to one year from the respective acquisition date). Acquisition of Atlanta Electrical Distributors, LLC On March 14, 2016, WESCO Distribution, Inc. ("WESCO Distribution") completed the acquisition of Atlanta Electrical Distributors, LLC, an Atlanta-based electrical distributor focused on the construction and MRO markets from five locations in Georgia with approximately $85 million in annual sales. WESCO Distribution funded the purchase price paid at closing with borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The purchase price was allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition to the cash paid at closing, the purchase price includes a contingent payment that may be earned upon the achievement of certain financial performance targets over three consecutive one year periods. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a probability-weighted outcome analysis and Level 3 inputs such as internal forecasts. This amount has been accrued at the maximum potential payout under the terms of the purchase agreement and it is included in the fair value of liabilities assumed as presented above. The preliminary fair value of intangibles was estimated by management and the allocation resulted in intangible assets of $21.8 million and goodwill of $31.6 million. The intangible assets include customer relationships of $15.8 million amortized over 13 and 14 years, a trademark of $6.0 million amortized over 13 years, and non-compete agreements of less than $0.1 million amortized over 5 years. No residual value is estimated for the intangible assets being amortized. Management believes that the majority of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. 2015 Acquisitions of Needham Electric Supply Corporation and Hill Country Electric Supply, LP On October 30, 2015, WESCO Distribution completed the acquisition of Needham Electric Supply Corporation, an electrical distributor focused on the commercial construction and lighting national account markets from 24 locations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont with approximately $115 million in annual sales. WESCO Distribution funded the purchase price paid at closing with cash and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The purchase price was allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value of intangibles was estimated by management and the allocation resulted in intangible assets of $31.0 million and goodwill of $35.7 million. The intangible assets include customer relationships of $24.5 million amortized over 12 and 14 years, and trademarks of $6.5 million amortized over 13 years. No residual value is estimated for the intangible assets being amortized. Management believes that the majority of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. On May 1, 2015, WESCO Distribution completed the acquisition of Hill Country Electric Supply, LP, an electrical distributor focused on the commercial construction market from nine locations in Central and South Texas with approximately $140 million in annual sales. WESCO Distribution funded the purchase price paid at closing with borrowings under its prior revolving credit facility. The purchase price was allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value of intangibles was estimated by management and the allocation resulted in intangible assets of $21.1 million and goodwill of $16.2 million. The intangible assets include customer relationships of $13.1 million amortized over 11 years, non-compete agreements of $0.2 million amortized over 5 years, and trademarks of $7.8 million amortized over 12 years. No residual value is estimated for the intangible assets being amortized. Management believes that the majority of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
