Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions Miropasz Group On January 31, 2024, a wholly owned international subsidiary of the Company acquired all of the shares of the Miropasz Group (the “Miropasz Acquisition”), a rendering company in Poland that is now in our Feed Ingredients segment, for a cash purchase price of approximately €105.6 million (approximately $114.3 million USD at the exchange rate of €1.0:USD$1.082198 on the closing date). In addition, the Company incurred a liability of approximately €7.0 million (approximately $7.6 million USD at the exchange rate on the closing date) for acquisition consideration hold-back amount that is part of the purchase price set aside in escrow in the Company’s name for possible indemnification claims by the Company, which amounts will be paid to the sellers in the future if no claims arise. The hold-back amount represents a noncash investing activity during the period of acquisition. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company received approximately $0.2 million from the sellers as a reduction of the purchase price and other immaterial adjustments. The Company recorded assets and liabilities on a preliminary basis consisting of property, plant and equipment of approximately $21.2 million, identifiable intangibles which includes routes and immaterial land use rights of approximately $34.9 million with a weighted average life of 17 years, other net assets of approximately $2.8 million which includes cash, working capital and net debt, and goodwill of approximately $62.8 million. Due to the complexity of acquiring foreign entities, the Company is still in the process of reviewing the provisional amounts recorded for taxes, and thus the final determination of the value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may result in retrospective adjustment to taxes with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Goodwill is expected to strengthen the Company’s base Feed Ingredients business and is nondeductible for tax purposes. Gelnex On March 31, 2023, the Company acquired all of the shares of Gelnex, a leading global producer of collagen products (the “Gelnex Acquisition”). The Gelnex Acquisition includes a network of five processing facilities in South America and one in the United States. The initial purchase price of approximately $1.2 billion was comprised of an initial cash payment of approximately $1.1 billion, which consisted of a payment of approximately R$4.3 billion Brazilian real (approximately $853.3 million USD at the exchange rate of R$5.08:USD$1.00 on the closing date) and a payment of approximately $243.5 million in USD, subject to various post-closing adjustments in accordance with the stock purchase agreement. In addition, the Company incurred a liability of approximately $104.1 million for acquisition consideration hold-back amounts that are part of the purchase price set aside in escrow in the Company’s name for possible indemnification claims by the Company, which amounts will be paid to the sellers in the future if no claims arise. The hold-back amount represents a noncash investing activity during the period of acquisition. The Gelnex Acquisition gives us immediate capacity to serve the growing needs of our collagen customers and the growing gelatin market. The initial purchase price was financed by borrowing all of the Company’s term A-3 facility of $300.0 million and term A-4 facility of $500.0 million, with the remainder coming through revolver borrowings under the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company made a cash payment for working capital purchase price adjustment per the stock purchase agreement of approximately $14.1 million with an offset to goodwill. The Company obtained new information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 that resulted in measurement period adjustments to increase property, plant and equipment by approximately $13.7 million, decrease intangible assets by approximately $9.5 million, decrease goodwill by approximately $9.1 million, increase deferred tax liabilities by approximately $5.1 million, increase deferred tax assets by approximately $8.1 million and a decrease in other assets and liabilities of approximately $0.1 million.
