Acquisitions and Divestitures
Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
2023 Acquisitions
In February 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Phoenix, Arizona based recycled aggregates business in our Construction Products segment. The purchase price of the acquisition was not significant.
In March 2023, we completed the stock acquisition of a Houston, Texas based shoring, trench, and excavation products business in our Construction Products segment. The purchase price of the acquisition was not significant.
2022 Acquisitions
In May 2022, we completed the stock acquisition of Recycled Aggregate Materials Company, Inc. ("RAMCO"), a leading producer of recycled aggregates in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, which is included in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $77.4 million. The acquisition was funded with $80.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities ("Level 3" inputs). The final valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $54.2 million of permits with an initial weighted average useful life of 20 years, $6.4 million of property, plant, and equipment, and $13.4 million of goodwill in our Construction Products segment. The remaining assets and liabilities were not significant in relation to assets and liabilities at the consolidated or segment level.
Divestitures
There were no divestitures closed during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
In October 2022, the Company completed the sale of its storage tank business for $275 million. Net cash proceeds received at closing were approximately $271.6 million, after transaction closing costs. The storage tanks business, historically reported within the Engineered Structures segment, is a leading manufacturer of steel pressure tanks for the storage and transportation of propane, ammonia, and other gases serving the residential, commercial, energy, and agricultural markets with operations in the U.S. and Mexico. Revenues and operating profit for the storage tanks business were $59.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. An additional gain of $6.4 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the resolution of certain contingencies from the sale.
