Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Event | Subsequent Event On January 25, 2021, we acquired 100% of the common stock of B T Q Limited, including Bristol Uniforms and Bell Apparel ("Bristol") in an all-cash transaction valued at $62.4 million, net of cash acquired. There is no contingent consideration. Bristol, which is headquartered in the U.K., is a leading innovator and provider of protective apparel to the fire, rescue services and utility sectors. The acquisition strengthens MSA's position as a global leader in fire service PPE products while providing an avenue to expand its business in the U.K. and key European markets. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2020 include transaction and integration costs of $0.5 million related to the acquisition. These costs are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses. Bristol operating results will be included in our financial statements from the acquisition date. The acquisition qualifies as a business combination and will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. At the date of issuance of these financial statements, the initial purchase accounting was not complete. We are also unable to provide pro forma revenues and earnings of the combined entity due to the limited time since the acquisition. This information will be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
