ACQUISITIONS | (2) ACQUISITIONS Acquisitions of Businesses On August 31, 2023, the Company acquired HR Products for $58,044 Australian dollars ($37,302 United States (“U.S.”) dollars) in cash (net of cash acquired) and subject to working capital adjustments. Of this amount, $7,200 Australian dollars ($4,626 U.S. dollars) was withheld by the Company at closing as a retention fund, to be settled in two equal payments at 12 and 24 months from the acquisition date for contingencies and disagreements. HR Products provides a broad range of irrigation products to serve the agriculture and landscaping industries and its operations are reported in the Agriculture segment. The acquisition strengthens the Company’s value proposition to customers in the key agriculture market of Australia by expanding its geographic footprint and accelerating its aftermarket parts presence. The amount allocated to goodwill is attributable to anticipated synergies and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition and is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company is currently completing its fair value assessment and expects to finalize the purchase price allocation by the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of HR Products as of the date of acquisition:

​ On June 1, 2022, the Company acquired approximately 51% of ConcealFab for $39,287 in cash (net of cash acquired). Approximately $1,850 of the purchase price was contingent on seller representations and warranties that were settled in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. ConcealFab is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and its operations are reported in the Infrastructure segment. The acquisition was made to allow the Company to incorporate innovative 5G infrastructure and passive intermodulation mitigation solutions into its advanced Infrastructure portfolio.

The purchase price for any remaining interest put to, or called by, the Company will be determined based on a pre-defined formula as stated in the operating agreement. As a result of this redemption feature, the Company recorded the noncontrolling interest as redeemable and classified it in temporary equity within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
