Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Acquisitions and Divestitures | Acquisitions and Divestitures Acquisitions On March 8, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of TuboTec, a small tube and core operation in Brazil, for total cash consideration of $841. TuboTec's financial results from the date acquired are included in the Company's Industrial Paper Packaging segment. During the six months ended July 4, 2021, the Company reached a final working capital settlement related to the August 3, 2020 acquisition of Can Packaging, a designer and manufacturer of sustainable paper packaging and related manufacturing equipment, based in Habsheim, France. Under the settlement, the Company made an additional cash payment of $1,512 and a corresponding increase in goodwill. Goodwill for Can Packaging, none of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, consists of increased access to certain markets. Can Packaging's financial results from the date acquired are included in the Company's Consumer Packaging segment. The valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the 2020 acquisitions of Can Packaging and a small tube and core operation in Jacksonville, Florida, were finalized in the first quarter of 2021. No additional measurement period adjustments were subsequently recorded. The Company has accounted for its acquisitions as business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with the business combinations subtopic of the Accounting Standards Codification and has included the results of operations of the acquired businesses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from their respective dates of acquisition. Divestitures As previously disclosed, the Company completed the sale of its display and packaging business in the United States, part of the "All Other" group of businesses, to Hood Container Corporation on April 4, 2021 for $80,000 in cash. This business provided design, manufacturing and fulfillment of point-of-purchase displays, as well as contract packaging services, for consumer product customers and had approximately 450 employees. Its operations included eight manufacturing and fulfillment facilities and four sales and design centers. Assets and liabilities disposed of in the sale included the following:
| U.S. Display and Packaging
Trade accounts receivable | $ | 26,342 |
Inventories | 8,434 |
Property, plant and equipment, net | 9,551 |
Right of use asset - operating leases | 11,627 |
Goodwill | 53,039 |
Trade accounts payable | (10,735) |
Accrued expenses | (1,411) |
Operating lease liabilities | (12,343) |
Other net tangible assets | 716 |
| $ | 85,220 |
The selling price was adjusted at closing for certain transaction expenses and for anticipated differences between targeted levels of working capital and the projected levels at the time of closing. Net cash proceeds of $79,704 were received on April 5, 2021 and the Company recognized a loss on the divestiture of this business of $5,516, before tax. The Company anticipates the final working capital settlement to be completed during the third quarter of 2021; this settlement, though not expected to be material, is expected to reduce the previously recognized loss on the divestiture of this business. As previously disclosed, the Company completed the divestiture of its European contract packaging business, Sonoco Poland Packaging Services Sp. z.o.o., on November 30, 2020. The selling price of $120,000 was adjusted at closing for certain indebtedness assumed by the buyer and for anticipated differences between targeted levels of working capital and the projected levels at the time of closing. The Company received net cash proceeds at closing of $105,913, with the buyer funding an escrow account with an additional $4,600. In the second quarter of 2021 the company received $6,366 in additional proceeds from the sale, which included the release of $4,000 from escrow plus a post-closing adjustment of $2,366 for the working capital settlement. The remaining $600 in escrow is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2022, pending any indemnity claims. The receipt of the additional cash proceeds is reflected in "Proceeds from the sale of businesses, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The decision to sell the display and packaging businesses was part of the Company's efforts to simplify its operating structure to focus on growing its core Consumer and Industrial packaging businesses around the world. These sales are not expected to notably affect consolidated operating margin percentages, nor do they represent a strategic shift for the Company that will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. Consequently, the sales did not meet the criteria for reporting as discontinued operations. The net proceeds from the sales were used for general corporate purposes. The Company continually assesses its operational footprint as well as its overall portfolio of businesses and may consider the divestiture of plants and/or business units it considers to be suboptimal or nonstrategic. Acquisition and Divestiture-Related Transaction Costs Acquisition and divestiture-related transaction costs totaling $1,462 and $357 were incurred during the three months ended July 4, 2021 and June 28, 2020, respectively, and $11,488 and $1,528 during the six months ended July 4, 2021 and June 28, 2020, respectively. These costs, consisting primarily of legal and professional fees, are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
