2024 Acquisitions
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company acquired Pureit, a residential water purification business in South Asia, from Unilever for an aggregate purchase price of $124.6 million. The acquired company is included in the Rest of World segment. The purchase price consists of an initial cash payment of $117.9 million upon the closing of the transaction and a separate payment of $6.7 million made under a transitional supply agreement with Unilever. The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $1.4 million.
The following table summarizes the final allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Of the $56.4 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets, $48.5 million was assigned to trademarks that are not subject to amortization, $3.7 million was assigned to patents which are amortized over 15 years, and the remaining $4.2 million million was assigned to customer relationships which are amortized over two to three years. The excess of the acquisition purchase price over the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price to goodwill decreased by $0.8 million in 2025 due to valuation adjustments related to identifiable intangible assets.
