Acquisition | Acquisition On November 14, 2014, during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the company acquired substantially all of the assets (excluding accounts receivable) of the BOSS® professional snow and ice management business of privately held Northern Star Industries, Inc. Based in Iron Mountain, Michigan, BOSS designs, manufactures, and sells a broad line of snowplows, salt and sand spreaders, and related parts and accessories for light and medium duty trucks, all terrain vehicles (“ATVs”), utility terrain vehicles (“UTVs”), skid steers, and front-end loaders. Through this acquisition, the company added another professional contractor brand; a portfolio of counter-seasonal equipment; manufacturing and distribution facilities located in Iron Mountain, Michigan; and a distribution network for these products. Management believes that this acquisition positions the company to strengthen and grow its relationships with professional contractors, municipalities, and other customers by enabling the company to provide them with the innovative, durable equipment and high-quality service they need each season. The purchase price of this acquisition was $229.5 million, which included a cash payment of $198.3 million and issuance of a note payable at fair value of $31.2 million. The company funded the acquisition with cash on hand, a $130.0 million term loan, and short-term debt under the company’s revolving credit facility. The purchase price of this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method, which requires that, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed, be recorded at their fair value as of the acquisition date using independent appraisals and other analyses. The excess of the consideration transferred over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets, liabilities, and goodwill.

The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition primarily reflects the value of the assembled workforce, cost synergies, expected future cash flows, and sales growth from integrating and expanding existing product lines. The preliminary amount of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes is $101.9 million. The goodwill and intangible assets have been allocated to the Professional segment. During the first six months of fiscal 2015, the company expensed $0.3 million of acquisition-related costs, which was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense. The company also capitalized $0.4 million of debt issuance costs in other assets related to the $130.0 million term loan, which will be amortized over the term of the loan. Operating results for this acquisition have been included in the company’s consolidated statements of earnings from the date of acquisition and are reflected in the Professional segment. The acquisition contributed $16.6 million and $45.3 million of net sales for the second quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal 2015, respectively, and had an immaterial impact on net earnings for both the second quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal 2015. Pro forma results are not presented, as the acquisition was not considered material to the company’s consolidated results of operations.
