Acquisitions and Dispositions

4. Acquisitions and Dispositions

In July 2017, we acquired Shaws, a UK-based luxury plumbing products company that specializes in manufacturing and selling fireclay sinks and selling brassware and accessories in partnership with Perrin & Rowe. Net sales and operating income in the three months ended September 30, 2017 were not material to the Company. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facilities. The results of the operations are included in the Plumbing segment from the date of acquisition.

In April 2017, we completed the sale of Field ID, our cloud-based inspection and safety compliance software product line included in our Security segment. We recorded a pre-tax loss of $2.4 million as the result of this sale. The estimated tax expense on the sale was insignificant. Field ID did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation in our financial statements.

In September 2016, we acquired ROHL, a California-based luxury plumbing company. In a related transaction, we also acquired Perrin & Rowe, a UK manufacturer and designer of luxury kitchen and bathroom plumbing products. The total combined purchase price was approximately $166 million (including $3 million of liabilities assumed), subject to certain post-closing adjustments. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility. Net sales and operating income in the first nine months of 2017 were not material to the Company. The results of operations are included in the Plumbing segment. The goodwill expected to be deductible for income tax purposes is approximately $49 million.

In May 2016, we acquired Riobel, a Canadian plumbing company specializing in premium showroom bath and shower fittings, for a total purchase price of $94.6 million in cash. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facilities. Net sales and operating income in the first nine months of 2017 were not material to the Company. The results of operations are included in the Plumbing segment. We do not expect any portion of goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes.

We recognized a loss on discontinued operations primarily related to the prior sale of the Waterloo tool storage and Simonton window businesses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
