Acquisitions and Dispositions	3 Months Ended

Acquisitions and Dispositions	4. Acquisitions and Dispositions In October 2017, we acquired Victoria + Albert, a UK manufacturer of luxury freestanding tubs and basins. 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. The total combined consideration paid was approximately $132 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments and deferred acquisition payments. Net sales and operating income in the first three months of 2018 from these acquisitions were not material to the Company. We financed the transactions using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility. The results of the operations are included in the Plumbing segment from the date of acquisition. We do not expect any portion of goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes. In April 2017, we completed the sale of Field ID, our cloud-based inspection and safety compliance software product line formerly included in our Security segment.
