Acquisition of Business

On July 3, 2017, Afton Chemical de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of NewMarket, acquired approximately 99.5% of the outstanding capital stock of Aditivos Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V. (AMSA) for $185 million in cash. AMSA is a petroleum additives manufacturing, sales and distribution company based in Mexico City, Mexico. The results of AMSA's operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition and are not material. The noncontrolling interest is also not material. The acquisition agreement included all physical assets of AMSA.

We performed a purchase price valuation to determine the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the amount of goodwill to be recognized as of the acquisition date.

The allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in millions):

As part of the acquisition, we recorded $118 million of goodwill. The goodwill recognized is attributable to expected synergies, including a secure supply source for certain raw materials, as well as the skilled assembled workforce of AMSA. All of the goodwill recognized is part of the petroleum additives segment, and none is deductible for Mexican tax purposes.

Pro forma results of operations are not presented as the acquisition was not considered material to our consolidated results.
