The Luminaires Group
On September 17, 2019, using cash on hand and borrowings under available existing credit arrangements, we acquired all of the equity interests of The Luminaires Group (“TLG”), a leading provider of specification-grade luminaires for commercial, institutional, hospitality, and municipal markets, all of which complement our current and dynamic lighting portfolio. TLG’s indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures are marketed to architects, landscape architects, interior designers, and engineers through five niche lighting brands: A-light, Cyclone, Eureka, Luminaire LED, and Luminis.
LocusLabs, Inc.
On November 25, 2019, using cash on hand, we acquired all of the equity interests of LocusLabs, Inc (“LocusLabs”). The LocusLabs software platform supports navigation applications used on mobile devices, web browsers, and digital displays in airports, event centers, multi-floor office buildings, and campuses.
Accounting for Fiscal 2020 Acquisitions
Acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred. Preliminary amounts related to the acquisition accounting for TLG and LocusLabs are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of November 30, 2019. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions reflects preliminary total goodwill and identified intangible assets of approximately $147.8 million and $165.0 million, respectively, as of November 30, 2019. Identified intangible assets consist of indefinite-lived marketing related intangibles as well as definite-lived customer-based and technology-based assets, which have a preliminary weighted average useful life of approximately 13 years. These amounts are deemed to be provisional until disclosed otherwise, as we continue to gather information related to the identification and valuation of intangible and other acquired assets and liabilities. These amounts are expected to change as we finalize the allocations. The operating results of the acquisitions have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition and are not material to our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
