Acquisitions and Divestitures	Acquisitions and Divestitures Acquisitions The following discussion relates to fiscal 2023 and 2021 acquisitions. There were no acquisitions during fiscal 2022. The $12.9 million of cash outflows reflected in the fiscal 2022 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows relate to fiscal 2021 acquisitions primarily for working capital settlements. Fiscal 2023 Acquisitions On May 15, 2023, using cash on hand, we acquired all of the equity interests of KE2 Therm Solutions, Inc. (“KE2 Therm”). KE2 Therm develops and provides intelligent refrigeration control solutions that deliver the precision of digital controls to promote safety, efficiency, and reliability, while delivering cost savings to the customer. This acquisition is intended to expand ISG's technology and controls product portfolio and reach new customers. We accounted for the acquisition of KE2 Therm in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated acquisition-date fair values. Acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred and were not material to our financial statements. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions reflects preliminary goodwill within the ISG segment of $15.0 million at August 31, 2023, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill is primarily comprised of expected benefits related to expanding ISG's technology and controls product portfolio as well as the trained workforce acquired with these businesses and expected synergies from combining the operations of KE2 Therm with our operations. We additionally recorded preliminary gross intangible assets of $18.0 million as of August 31, 2023, which reflect estimates for definite-lived intangibles with a preliminary estimated weighted average useful life of approximately 15 years. Amounts recorded for acquired assets and liabilities are deemed to be provisional until disclosed otherwise as we continue to gather information related to the identification and valuation of acquired assets and liabilities including, but not limited to, intangible assets and tax-related items. The operating results of KE2 Therm have been included in our financial statements since the date of acquisition and are not material to our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Fiscal 2021 Acquisitions ams OSRAM's North American Digital Systems Business On July 1, 2021, using cash on hand, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of ams OSRAM’s North American Digital Systems business (“OSRAM DS”). This acquisition is intended to enhance our LED driver and controls technology portfolio and accelerate our innovation, expand our access to market through a more fulsome OEM product offering, and give us more control over our supply chain. Rockpile Ventures, Inc. On May 18, 2021, using cash on hand, we acquired all of the equity interests of Rockpile Ventures, Inc., (“Rockpile Ventures”) an accelerator of edge artificial intelligence (“AI”) startups. Rockpile Ventures helps early-stage artificial intelligence companies drive co-engineering and co-selling partnerships with major cloud ecosystems, enabling faster adoption from proof-of-concept trials to market scale. Accounting for Fiscal 2021 Acquisitions We accounted for the acquisitions of Rockpile Ventures and OSRAM DS (collectively the “2021 Acquisitions”) in accordance with ASC 805. We finalized the acquisition accounting for the 2021 Acquisitions during fiscal 2022. There were no material changes to our financial statements as a result of the finalization of the acquisition accounting for these acquisitions. The aggregate purchase price of the 2021 Acquisitions reflects goodwill of $12.3 million and definite-lived customer-based intangible assets of $6.7 million, which have a useful life of approximately 11 years. Goodwill recognized from the 2021 Acquisitions is comprised primarily of expected synergies from obtaining more control over our supply chain and technology, combining the operations of the acquired business with our operations, and acquiring the associated trained workforce. Goodwill from the 2021 Acquisitions totaling $9.2 million is tax deductible. Divestitures We sold our Sunoptics prismatic skylights business in November 2022. We transferred assets with a total carrying value of $15.1 million, which primarily consisted of intangibles with definite lives, inventories, and allocated goodwill from the ABL segment. We recognized a pre-tax loss on the sale of $11.2 million within Miscellaneous expense (income), net on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Additionally, we recorded impairment charges for certain retained assets as well as associate severance and other costs related to the sale. These items are included within Special charges on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. See the Special Charges and Fair Value Measurements footnotes of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. There were no divestitures during fiscal 2022 or 2021.
