Acquisitions and Dispositions	Acquisitions and Dispositions 2024 Acquisitions During the third quarter of 2024, the Company signed an agreement to acquire Pureit, a residential water purification business in South Asia, from Unilever for approximately $120 million, subject to customary adjustments. The Company expects to complete the acquisition of Pureit by the end of 2024 and does not expect the acquisition to have a material impact on earnings in the first year. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company acquired a privately-held water treatment company. The Company paid an aggregate cash purchase price of $21.3 million, net of cash acquired. The Company also agreed to make contingent payments based on the amount by which sales of products increase over the next three years. The addition of the acquired company expanded the Company's water treatment footprint in North America. The acquired company is included in the North America segment. 2023 Acquisition During the third quarter of 2023, the Company acquired a privately-held water treatment company. The Company paid an aggregate cash purchase price of $16.8 million, net of cash acquired, including an additional payment of $0.7 million made in the fourth quarter of 2023. The addition of the acquired company expands the Company's water treatment footprint. The acquired company is included in the North America segment. As required under ASC 805 Business Combinations, results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Dispositions During the third quarter of 2024, the Company continued the process of exiting its operations in Vietnam. The restructuring expense associated with the exit was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. During 2023, the Company sold its business in Turkey (disposal group), which was included in the Company's Rest of World segment, for an amount that approximated the carrying value of the net assets. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company determined that the disposal group met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and that the fair value of the disposal group, less cost to sell, was lower than its carrying amount. As a result, in the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded an impairment expense of $15.6 million, of which $12.5 million was recorded in the Rest of World segment, and $3.1 million was recorded in Corporate Expense. The impairment was recorded as a net reduction of $4.5 million to the assets and liabilities and $11.1 million for the anticipated liquidation of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment associated with the disposal group.
