Acquisitions, Discontinued Operations and Formation of Shanghai Electric JV

(4)   Acquisitions, Discontinued Operations and Formation of Shanghai Electric JV

        We use acquisitions as a part of our strategy to gain access to customer relationships and new technology, expand our geographical reach, penetrate new markets and leverage our existing product, market, manufacturing and technical expertise. Further, as part of our operating strategy, we regularly review and negotiate potential divestitures, some of which are or may be material. As a result of this continuous review, we determined that certain of our businesses would be better strategic fits with other companies or investors. Acquisitions and divestitures for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are described below.

        The consolidated statements of operations include the results of each acquired business since the date of acquisition. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at estimates of fair values as determined by us based on information available at the acquisition date. We consider a number of factors, including third-party valuations or appraisals, when making these determinations. We will recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. The measurement period will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Refer to Note 8 for additional disclosure on the purchase price adjustments of the following acquisitions.

        There were no acquisitions in 2013.

Acquisition — 2012

        On March 21, 2012, our Flow Technology reportable segment completed the acquisition of Seital S.r.l. ("Seital"), a supplier of disk centrifuges (separators and clarifiers) to the global food and beverage, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, for a purchase price of $28.8, net of cash acquired of $2.5 and including debt assumed of $0.8. Seital had revenues of approximately $14.0 in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition. The pro forma effects of the acquisition of Seital were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our consolidated results of operations.

Acquisitions — 2011

        On December 22, 2011, our Flow Technology reportable segment completed the acquisition of Clyde Union, a global supplier of pump technologies utilized in oil and gas processing, power generation and other industrial applications for an initial payment of 500.0 British Pounds ("GBP"), less debt assumed and other adjustments of GBP 11.0. In addition, the purchase price included a potential earn-out payment (equal to Annual 2012 Group EBITDA (as defined by the related agreement) × 10, less GBP 475.0). In no event shall the earn-out payment be less than GBP 0.0 or more than GBP 250.0. No liability for an earn-out payment has been provided in the accompanying balance sheets because, based on actual operating results for 2012, we do not believe Clyde Union achieved the required minimum Annual 2012 Group EBITDA.

        We financed the acquisition with available cash and committed senior secured financing. The sellers of Clyde Union also contributed GBP 25.0 of cash to the acquired business at the time of sale.

        The following is a summary of the recorded fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Clyde Union at the date of acquisition, and reflects acquisition accounting adjustments subsequently recorded:

Assets acquired:

       

Current assets, including cash and equivalents of $44.3

  $ 342.1  

Property, plant and equipment

    88.4  

Goodwill

    373.7  

Intangible assets

    374.6  

Other assets

    25.1  
       

Total assets acquired

    1,203.9  
       

Liabilities assumed:

       

Current liabilities

    291.9  

Other long-term liabilities

    150.1  
       

Total liabilities assumed

    442.0  
       

Noncontrolling interest

    (5.1 )
       

Net assets acquired

  $ 767.0  
       
       

        The identifiable intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships, trademarks, technology, and customer lists of $234.4, $76.8, $60.1 and $3.3, respectively. The customer relationships, technology assets, and customer lists are being amortized over 30, 27, and 2 years, respectively.

        The qualitative factors that comprise the recorded goodwill include expected synergies from combining our existing and Clyde Union's operations, expected market growth for existing Clyde Union operations as well as other factors. We expect none of this goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes.

        We acquired gross receivables of $148.9, which had a fair value on acquisition date of $145.0 based on our estimates of cash flows expected to be recovered.

        The following unaudited pro forma information presents our after-tax results of operations as if the acquisition of Clyde Union had taken place on January 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of our consolidated results of operations that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of the date presented, and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations. The pro forma results include estimates and assumptions that management believes are reasonable; however, these results do not include any charges or cost reductions related to restructuring actions undertaken at Clyde Union since the acquisition. These pro forma results of operations have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include the following adjustments to historical results for the period presented, in each case adjusted for the applicable income tax impact:

  • Additional depreciation and amortization expense of $5.5 associated with the fair value adjustments to the acquired Clyde Union property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

    The elimination of interest expense of $17.8 related to the portion of Clyde Union's long-term debt that was paid-off at the time of the acquisition.
  • The addition of interest expense of $19.0 associated with the term loans that were drawn down in order to finance the Clyde Union acquisition.

    The elimination of rent expense of $2.1 associated with a facility in Scotland that had been leased by Clyde Union and that we purchased on December 23, 2011.

    The elimination of $34.6 in charges incurred in 2011 associated with the foreign currency protection agreements that we entered into to hedge the Clyde Union purchase price.

    The elimination of $7.4 of transaction fees incurred in 2011 in connection with the acquisition (Buyer — $5.6 and Seller — $1.8).

    A reduction in bonding costs of $5.9 for Clyde Union due to more favorable rates under our senior credit facilities.

        On October 31, 2011, in our Flow Technology reportable segment, we completed the acquisition of e&e Verfahrenstechnik GmbH ("e&e"), a supplier of extraction, evaporation, vacuum and freeze drying technologies to the global food and beverage, pharmaceutical and bioenergy industries for a purchase price of approximately 11.7 Euros, net of cash assumed of 3.8 Euros, with an additional potential earn-out of 3.5 Euros. No liability for an earn-out payment has been provided in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because we do not believe e&e achieved the criteria required during the earn-out period. e&e had revenues of approximately 15.3 Euros in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition.

        In March 2011, in our Flow Technology reportable segment, we completed the acquisition of B.W. Murdoch Ltd. ("Murdoch"), an engineering company supplying processing solutions for the food and beverage industry, for a purchase price of $8.1. Murdoch had revenues of approximately $13.0 in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition.

        The pro forma effects of the acquisitions of e&e and Murdoch were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our consolidated results of operations.

Discontinued Operations

        We report businesses or asset groups as discontinued operations when, among other things, we terminate the operations of the business or asset group, commit to a plan to divest the business or asset group or we actively begin marketing the business or asset group, and the sale of the business or asset group is deemed probable within the next twelve months. During the third quarter of 2013, we committed to a plan to divest certain non-strategic businesses that were previously reported within Industrial Products and Services and Other. These businesses have been reported, for all periods presented, as discontinued operations within the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We are actively pursuing the sales of these businesses and anticipate that the sales will be completed during 2014.

        In addition, the following businesses, which have been sold or for which operations have been terminated, also met these requirements and therefore have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented:

Weil-McLain (Shandong) Cast-Iron-Boiler Co., Ltd. ("Weil-McLain Shandong")

    Q4 2012     Q4 2012  

SPX Service Solutions ("Service Solutions")

    Q1 2012     Q4 2012  

        Dielectric — We sold assets of the business during 2013 for cash consideration of $4.7, resulting in a gain of less than $0.1.

        Kayex — We closed the business during 2013. We recorded a gain, net of taxes, of $1.3 during 2013 associated primarily with a gain on the sale of a perpetual license related to certain of the business's intangible assets, which was partially offset by a loss related to severance costs and asset impairment charges. Proceeds from the sale of the perpetual license totaled $6.9.

        Tianyu — Sold for cash consideration of one Chinese Yuan ("CNY") (exclusive of cash transferred with the business of $1.1), resulting in a loss, net of taxes, of $1.8 during 2012.

        Weil-McLain Shandong — Sold for cash consideration of $2.7 (exclusive of cash transferred with the business of $3.1), resulting in a gain, net of taxes, of $2.2 during 2012. During 2013, we received $1.1 associated with the working capital settlement and reduced the net gain by $0.4.

        Service Solutions — Sold to Robert Bosch GmbH for cash consideration of $1,134.9, resulting in a gain, net of taxes, of $313.4 during 2012. During 2013, we received $0.8 associated with the working capital settlement and reduced the net gain by $0.3, associated primarily with the working capital settlement and revisions to income tax and other retained liabilities related to the sale.

        In addition to the businesses discussed above, we recognized net gains (losses) of $(4.6), $(0.4) and $0.3 during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, resulting from adjustments to gains/losses on dispositions of businesses discontinued prior to 2011.

        The final sales price for certain of the divested businesses is subject to adjustment based on working capital existing at the respective closing dates. The working capital figures are subject to agreement with the buyers or, if we cannot come to agreement with the buyers, an arbitration or other dispute-resolution process. Final agreement of the working capital figures with the buyers for certain of these transactions has yet to occur. In addition, changes in estimates associated with liabilities retained in connection with a business divestiture (e.g., income taxes) may occur. It is possible that the sales price and resulting gains/losses on these and other previous divestitures may be materially adjusted in subsequent periods.

        For 2013, 2012 and 2011, income from discontinued operations and the related income taxes are shown below:

Formation of Shanghai Electric JV

        On December 30, 2011, we and Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd. established Shanghai Electric — SPX Engineering & Technologies Co., Ltd. (the "Shanghai Electric JV"), a joint venture supplying dry cooling and moisture separator reheater products and services to the power sector in China and other selected regions of the world. We contributed and sold certain assets of our dry cooling products business in China to the joint venture in consideration for a 45% ownership interest in the joint venture and cash payments of CNY 96.7, with CNY 51.5 received in January 2012, CNY 25.8 received in December 2012, and the remaining CNY 19.4 received in 2013. In addition, we have licensed our dry cooling and moisture separator reheater technologies to the joint venture, for which we are receiving a royalty. We also are continuing to manufacture dry cooling components in our China factories and have entered into an exclusive supply agreement with the joint venture for these products. Final approval for the transaction was received in January 2012. We determined that this transaction met the deconsolidation criteria of the Consolidation Topic of the Codification, and, thus, recorded a gain for the transaction equal to the estimated fair value of our investment in the joint venture plus any consideration received, less the carrying value of assets contributed and sold to the joint venture. We recorded the net gain associated with this transaction of $20.5 in the first quarter of 2012, with the gain included in "Other income (expense), net."

        The Shanghai Electric JV's results of operations and our equity earnings in this investment, as included in our consolidated statements of operations, were not material in 2013 and 2012.
