Acquisitions and Dispositions

4.    Acquisitions and Dispositions

In September 2018, we acquired 100% of the membership interests of Fiber Composites LLC (“Fiberon”), a leading U.S. manufacturer of outdoor performance materials used in decking and railing products for a total purchase price of approximately $470.0 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The acquisition of Fiberon provided category expansion and product extension opportunities into the outdoor living space for our Doors & Security segment. Fiberon’s net sales and operating income in 2018 were not material to the Company.  We have not included pro forma financial information as it is immaterial to our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit and term loan facilities.  The results of operations are included in the Doors & Security segment from the date of the acquisition. Goodwill related to this acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition.

Goodwill includes expected sales and cost synergies.  Identifiable intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships and tradenames.

 

In October 2017, we acquired Victoria+Albert, a UK-based premium brand of standalone bathtubs, sinks, tub fillers, faucets and other accessories. 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 $165 million, including $38.9 million of additional purchase price consideration paid related to post-closing adjustments and deferred acquisition payments during 2019 and 2018. Net sales and operating income in 2017 from these acquisitions were not material to the Company. We financed the transactions using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing revolving and term loan credit facilities. The results of the operations are included in the Plumbing segment from the respective dates of acquisition. Goodwill related to these acquisitions is not 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 included in our Doors & Security segment. We recorded a pre-tax loss of $2.4 million and a pre-tax impairment charge to write down the long-lived assets included in this disposal group to fair value of $3.2 million as a result of this sale (See Note 8). The estimated tax expense on the sale was insignificant. Field ID did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation in our financial statements.
