Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions Snell Advanced Media We acquired 100% of the outstanding ownership interest in Snell Advanced Media (SAM) on February 8, 2018 for a purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $92.9 million. The acquisition includes a potential earnout, which is based upon future earnings of SAM and Grass Valley combined through December 31, 2019. The maximum earnout consideration is $31.4 million, but based upon a third party valuation specialist using certain assumptions in a discounted cash flow model, the preliminary estimated fair value of the earnout included in the purchase price is $17.7 million. We assumed debt of $19.3 million and paid it off during the first quarter of 2018. SAM designs, manufactures, and sells innovative content production and distribution systems for the broadcast and media markets. SAM is located in the United Kingdom. The results of SAM have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from February 8, 2018, and are reported within the Enterprise Solutions segment. The following table summarizes the estimated, preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of February 8, 2018 (in thousands):
Receivables |  | $ | 19,900 |
Inventory |  | 17,605 |
Prepaid and other current assets |  | 2,339 |
Property, plant, and equipment |  | 9,212 |
Intangible assets |  | 44,750 |
Goodwill |  | 92,263 |
Deferred taxes |  | 5,476 |
Other long-lived assets |  | 4,306 |
Total assets acquired |  | $ | 195,851 |
Accounts payable |  | $ | 11,927 |
Accrued liabilities |  | 17,960 |
Deferred revenue |  | 4,000 |
Long-term debt |  | 19,305 |
Postretirement benefits |  | 49,131 |
Other long-term liabilities |  | 591 |
Total liabilities assumed |  | $ | 102,914 |
Net assets |  | $ | 92,937 |
The above purchase price allocation is preliminary, and is subject to revision as additional information about the fair value of individual assets and liabilities becomes available. We are in the process of ensuring our accounting policies are applied at SAM. The preliminary measurement of receivables; inventories; property, plant and equipment; intangible assets; goodwill; deferred income taxes; deferred revenue; and other assets and liabilities are subject to change. A change in the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments we have used in estimating the preliminary fair values assigned to each class of acquired assets and assumed liabilities could materially affect the results of our operations. The preliminary fair value of acquired receivables is $19.9 million, which is equivalent to its gross contractual amount. For purposes of the above allocation, we based our estimate of the preliminary fair value for the acquired inventory; property, plant, and equipment; intangible assets; and deferred revenue on a preliminary valuation study performed by a third party valuation firm. We have estimated a preliminary fair value adjustment for inventories based on the estimated selling price of the work-in-process and finished goods acquired at the closing date less the sum of the costs to complete the work-in-process, the costs of disposal, and a reasonable profit allowance for our post acquisition selling efforts. To determine the value of the acquired property, plant, and equipment, we used various valuation methods, including both the market approach, which considers sales prices of similar assets in similar conditions (Level 2 valuation), and the cost approach, which considers the cost to replace the asset adjusted for depreciation (Level 3 valuation). We used various valuation methods including discounted cash flows, lost income, excess earnings, and relief from royalty to estimate the preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets and deferred revenue (Level 3 valuation). Goodwill and other intangible assets reflected above were determined to meet the criteria for recognition apart from tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies and the assembled workforce. The expected synergies for the SAM acquisition may be gained from helping broadcast and media content creators, aggregators and distributors significantly improve their effectiveness and efficiency during a period of rapid change in technology, viewer and advertiser behavior and busines models. Our tax basis in the acquired goodwill is zero. The intangible assets related to the acquisition consisted of the following:
|  | Preliminary Fair Value |  | Amortization Period
|  | (In thousands) |  | (In years)
Intangible assets subject to amortization: |  |  |  |
Developed technologies |  | $ | 32,500 |  |  | 5.0
Customer relationships |  | 9,000 |  |  | 12.0
Sales backlog |  | 1,750 |  |  | 0.3
Trademarks |  | 1,500 |  |  | 2.0
Total intangible assets subject to amortization |  | $ | 44,750 |  |  |
Intangible assets not subject to amortization: |  |  |  |
Goodwill |  | $ | 92,263 |  |  | n/a
Total intangible assets not subject to amortization |  | $ | 92,263 |  |  |
Total intangible assets |  | $ | 137,013 |  |  |
Weighted average amortization period |  |  |  | 6.1 years
The amortizable intangible assets reflected in the table above were determined by us to have finite lives. The useful life for the developed technology intangible asset was based on the estimated time that the technology provides us with a competitive advantage and thus approximates the period and pattern of consumption of the intangible asset. The useful life for the customer relationship intangible asset was based on our forecasts of estimated sales from recurring customers. The useful life of the backlog intangible asset was based on our estimate of when the ordered items would ship. The useful life for the trademarks was based on the period of time we expect to continue to go to market using the trademarks. Our consolidated revenues and consolidated income before taxes for the three months ended April 1, 2018 included $20.8 million and $(2.8) million, respectively, from SAM. The loss before taxes from SAM included $2.2 million of amortization of intangible assets and $0.5 million of cost of sales related to the adjustment of acquired inventory to fair value. The following table illustrates the unaudited pro forma effect on operating results as if the SAM acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2017.

For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the three months ended April 2, 2017 includes nonrecurring expenses related to the acquisition, including severance, restructuring, and acquisition integration costs; amortization of the sales backlog intangible asset; and cost of sales arising from the adjustment of inventory to fair value of $9.2 million, $1.3 million, and $0.8 million, respectively. The above unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what our results of operations would have been had we completed the acquisition on the date assumed, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods. Pro forma adjustments exclude cost savings from any synergies resulting from the acquisition. Thinklogical Holdings, LLC We acquired 100% of the outstanding ownership interest in Thinklogical Holdings, LLC (Thinklogical) on May 31, 2017 for a purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $165.8 million. Thinklogical designs, manufactures, and markets high-bandwidth fiber matrix switches, video, and keyboard/video/mouse extender solutions, camera extenders, and console management solutions. Thinklogical is headquartered in Connecticut. The results of Thinklogical have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from May 31, 2017, and are reported within the Enterprise Solutions segment. The following table summarizes the estimated, preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of May 31, 2017 (in thousands):
Receivables |  | 4,355 |
Inventory |  | 16,424 |
Prepaid and other current assets |  | 320 |
Property, plant, and equipment |  | 4,289 |
Intangible assets |  | 73,400 |
Goodwill |  | 71,252 |
Total assets acquired |  | $ | 170,040 |
Accounts payable |  | $ | 1,231 |
Accrued liabilities |  | 1,353 |
Deferred revenue |  | 1,702 |
Total liabilities assumed |  | $ | 4,286 |
Net assets |  | $ | 165,754 |
A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments we have used in estimating the preliminary fair values assigned to each class of acquired assets and assumed liabilities could materially affect the results of our operations. The preliminary fair value of acquired receivables is $4.4 million, which is equivalent to its gross contractual amount. For purposes of the above allocation, we based our estimate of the preliminary fair value for the acquired inventory, intangible assets, and deferred revenue on a preliminary valuation study performed by a third party valuation firm. We have estimated a preliminary fair value adjustment for inventories based on the estimated selling price of the work-in-process and finished goods acquired at the closing date less the sum of the costs to complete the work-in-process, the costs of disposal, and a reasonable profit allowance for our post acquisition selling efforts. We used various valuation methods including discounted cash flows, lost income, excess earnings, and relief from royalty to estimate the preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets and deferred revenue (Level 3 valuation). The determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the allocation of the purchase price is substantially complete pending the completion of a stub period tax return that has yet to be filed. Goodwill and other intangible assets reflected above were determined to meet the criteria for recognition apart from tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies and the assembled workforce. The expected synergies for the Thinklogical acquisition primarily consist of utilizing Belden's fiber and connectivity portfolio with Thinklogical's connections between matrix switch, control systems, transmitters and source to expand our product portfolio across our segments to both existing and new customers. Our tax basis in the acquired goodwill is approximately $43.9 million and is deductible for tax purposes over a period of 15 years up to the amount of the tax basis. The intangible assets related to the acquisition consisted of the following:
|  | Preliminary Fair Value |  | Amortization Period
|  | (In thousands) |  | (In years)
Intangible assets subject to amortization: |  |  |  |
Developed technologies |  | $ | 62,600 |  |  | 10.0
Customer relationships |  | 6,500 |  |  | 8.0
Trademarks |  | 2,900 |  |  | 10.0
Sales backlog |  | 1,400 |  |  | 0.3
Total intangible assets subject to amortization |  | $ | 73,400 |  |  |
Intangible assets not subject to amortization: |  |  |  |
Goodwill |  | $ | 71,252 |  |  | n/a
Total intangible assets not subject to amortization |  | $ | 71,252 |  |  |
Total intangible assets |  | $ | 144,652 |  |  |
Weighted average amortization period |  |  |  | 9.6
The amortizable intangible assets reflected in the table above were determined by us to have finite lives. The useful life for the customer relationship intangible asset was based on our forecasts of estimated sales from recurring customers. The useful life for the trademarks was based on the period of time we expect to continue to go to market using the trademarks. The useful life for the developed technology intangible asset was based on the estimated time that the technology provides us with a competitive advantage and thus approximates the period and pattern of consumption of the intangible asset. The useful life of the backlog intangible asset was based on our estimate of when the ordered items would ship. Our consolidated revenues and consolidated income before taxes for the three months ended April 1, 2018 included $7.8 million and $(2.2) million, respectively, from Thinklogical. The loss before taxes from Thinklogical included $3.2 million of amortization of intangible assets. The following table illustrates the unaudited pro forma effect on operating results as if the Thinklogical acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2016.
