Acquisition | Acquisition On September 12, 2017, the Company acquired the outstanding shares of R2Net, the owner of online jewelry retailer JamesAllen.com and Segoma Imaging Technologies. The acquisition rapidly enhanced the Company’s digital capabilities and accelerated its OmniChannel strategy, while adding a millennial-focused online retail brand to the Company’s portfolio. The Company paid $332.4 million, net of acquired cash of $47.3 million, for R2Net. The merger agreement provides for a post-closing working capital adjustment which is anticipated to be finalized during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018. The total consideration paid was funded with a $350 million bridge loan. See Note 17 for additional information regarding the bridge loan. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination during the third quarter of Fiscal 2018 with R2Net becoming a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of Signet. Prior to closing the acquisition, the Company incurred approximately $9.4 million of acquisition-related costs for professional services during the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017. Acquisition-related costs were recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated income statements. The results of R2Net subsequent to the acquisition date are reported as a component of the results of the Sterling Jewelers division. See Note 5 for segment information. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented, as the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results was not material. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated net purchase price recorded as goodwill. Goodwill generated from the acquisition is primarily attributable to expected synergies and will not be deductible for tax purposes. As of October 28, 2017, the Company is in the process of finalizing the net assets acquired in the acquisition, most notably, the identification and valuation of intangible assets, including tradenames and technology-related assets. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values identified for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the R2Net acquisition as of September 12, 2017:
(in millions) | Initial amounts
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 47.3 |
Inventories | 12.1 |
Other current assets | 9.7 |
Property, plant and equipment | 3.5 |
Current liabilities | (41.4 | )
Fair value of net assets acquired | 31.2 |
Goodwill(1) | 348.5 |
Total consideration transferred | $ | 379.7 |
(1) | The amount of goodwill generated will be adjusted for any additional assets or liabilities identified by the Company or for any adjustments to the preliminary fair values identified for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the R2Net acquisition reflected above.
