Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions On August 31, 2023, we acquired CloudRail GmbH (CloudRail) with cash on hand for $9.2 million, net of cash acquired. CloudRail, based in Mannheim, Germany, specializes in sensor to cloud data solutions allowing end users to quickly connect sensors on their machinery to cloud providers to drive business insights and improve outcomes. The results of CloudRail have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from August 31, 2023 and are reported within the Industrial Automation Solutions segment. The CloudRail acquisition was not material to our financial position or results of operations. On April 17, 2023, we acquired Berthold Sichert GmbH (Sichert) with cash on hand for $97.5 million, net of cash acquired. Sichert, based in Berlin, Germany, designs and manufactures a portfolio of polycarbonate street cabinets utilized in outside plant passive optical networks (“PON”) and 5G networks. Sichert is reported within the Enterprise Solutions segment. The Sichert acquisition was not material to our results of operations. The following table summarizes the estimated, preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
Receivables |  | $ | 6,040 |
Inventory |  | 13,113 |
Other current assets |  | 816 |
Property, plant and equipment |  | 13,247 |
Intangible assets |  | 44,764 |
Goodwill |  | 27,457 |
Other long-lived assets |  | 4,922 |
Total assets acquired |  | $ | 110,359 |
Accounts payable |  | $ | 2,423 |
Accrued liabilities |  | 2,015 |
Deferred income taxes |  | 8,417 |
Total liabilities assumed |  | $ | 12,855 |
Net assets |  | $ | 97,504 |
The above purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information about the fair value of individual assets and liabilities becomes available. The preliminary measurement of receivables, intangible assets, deferred income taxes, 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. The preliminary fair value of acquired receivables is $6.0 million, which is equivalent to its gross contractual amount. 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. For purposes of the above allocation, we based our preliminary estimate of the fair values for intangible assets on valuation studies performed by a third party valuation firm. We used various valuation methods including discounted cash flows, excess earnings, and relief from royalty to estimate the preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets (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 the expansion of broadband product offerings in end-to-end solutions. Our tax basis in the acquired goodwill is zero. The intangible assets related to the acquisition consisted of the following:
|  | Fair Value |  | Amortization Period
|  | (In thousands) |  | (In years)
Intangible assets subject to amortization: |  |  |  |
Customer relationships |  | $ | 41,597 |  |  | 20.0
Trademarks |  | 2,184 |  |  | 7.0
Sales backlog |  | 983 |  |  | 0.2
Total intangible assets subject to amortization |  | $ | 44,764 |  |  |
Intangible assets not subject to amortization: |  |  |  |
Goodwill |  | $ | 27,457 |  |  | n/a
Total intangible assets not subject to amortization |  | $ | 27,457 |  |  |
Total intangible assets |  | $ | 72,221 |  |  |
Weighted average amortization period |  |  |  | 18.9
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.
