Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions On October 21, 2015, MSA Safety Incorporated acquired Latchways plc and its affiliated companies, Latchways Australia Pty Limited ("LA"), Latchways Inc. ("LI"), HCL Group Plc ("HCL"), Height Solutions Limited ("HSL"), and Sigma 6 d.o.o. ('Sigma 6"), collectively referred to as ("Latchways"), for $190.9 million. There is no contingent consideration. The acquisition was funded through cash on hand and borrowings on our $125.0 million unsecured senior revolving credit facility, which was subsequently repaid in December 2015. Latchways is a global provider of innovative fall protection systems based in the United Kingdom. Latchways solutions are found throughout the aerospace, power transmission, utility and telecommunication sectors, and Latchways products are integrated with major roofing and tower systems. In addition to providing us with greater access to the fall protection market, we believe that the acquisition significantly enhances our long-term corporate strategy in fall protection by providing us with world-class research and development talent and an industry-leading product line. While Latchways products are sold globally, its operations most significantly impact our International segment. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the Latchways assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:
(In millions) | October 21, 2015
Current assets (including cash of $10.6 million) | $ | 35.7 |
Property, plant and equipment | 9.5 |
Trade name and acquired technology | 14.6 |
Customer-related intangibles | 53.0 |
Goodwill | 98.0 |
Total assets acquired | 210.8 |
Total liabilities assumed | 19.9 |
Net assets acquired | $ | 190.9 |
The amounts in the table above are subject to change upon completion of the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This valuation is expected to be completed by the 2016 third quarter. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition have been recorded at their fair values. Fair values were determined by management, based, in part on an independent valuation performed by a third party valuation specialist. The valuation methods used to determine the fair value of intangible assets included the excess earnings approach for customer relationships and technology related intangible assets; the relief from royalty method for trade name; and the cost method for assembled workforce which is included in goodwill. A number of significant assumptions and estimates were involved in the application of these valuation methods, including sales volumes and prices, costs to produce, tax rates, capital spending, discount rates, and working capital changes. Cash flow forecasts were generally based on Latchways pre-acquisition forecasts coupled with estimated MSA sales synergies. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are subject to amortization over their estimated useful lives. The identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Latchways transaction will be amortized over an estimated amortization period of 15 years. Estimated future amortization expense related to these identifiable intangible assets is approximately $4.5 million in each of the next five years. The step up to fair value of acquired inventory as part of the purchase price allocation totaled $1.6 million. We amortized $0.9 million of this step up in inventory value in 2015, and expect to amortize approximately $0.7 million in 2016. Estimated future depreciation expense related to Latchways property, plant and equipment is approximately $0.9 million in each of the next five years. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired were the acquisition of an assembled workforce, the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Latchways with our operations. Goodwill related to the Latchways acquisition has been recorded in our reportable segments as follows: $96.6 million in the International segment and $1.4 million in Americas segment. Goodwill is no t expected to be tax deductible. Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 include integration costs of $0.5 million ($0.4 million after tax). These costs are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income. The operating results of Latchways have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 include Latchways sales of $13.2 million and $28.9 million, respectively. Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 include Latchways net income of $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Latchways net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 includes an increase in cost of sales of $0.2 million ($0.1 million after tax) and $0.5 million ($0.3 million after tax), respectively, related to the turn of the fair value step-up of inventories acquired as well as interest expense incurred by MSA associated with debt used to fund the acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma information presents our combined results as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2015. The unaudited pro forma financial information was prepared to give effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger; (2) factually supportable; and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’s results. There were no material transactions between us and Latchways during the periods presented that are required to be eliminated. Transactions between Latchways companies during the periods presented have been eliminated in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the acquisitions or the costs to integrate the operations or the costs necessary to achieve cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements.
