Business Acquisitions [Abstract] |
Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block] | Acquisitions Elmer’s During October 2015, the Company acquired Elmer’s Products, Inc. (“Elmer’s”) for a purchase price of $571.4 million, which is net of $16.8 million of cash acquired. The acquisition of Elmer’s was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the Company allocated the total purchase price to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Based on the purchase price allocation, the Company allocated $24.5 million of the purchase price to identified tangible and monetary net assets, $86.6 million to deferred tax liabilities and $262.0 million to identified intangible assets. Approximately $220.0 million was allocated to indefinite-lived intangible assets and approximately $42.0 million was allocated to a definite-lived intangible asset with a weighted-average life of 8 years. The indefinite-lived intangible assets represent the acquired Elmer’s® and X-Acto® trade names. The Company recorded the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values of identifiable assets of $371.5 million as goodwill. None of the goodwill is expected to be tax deductible. Elmer’s results of operations are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations since the acquisition date, including net sales of $79.0 million and $123.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and operating income of $21.3 million and $17.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Pro forma results of operations of the Company would not be materially different as a result of the acquisition and therefore are not presented. The Company incurred $0.5 million and $7.1 million of restructuring costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 associated with the integration of Elmer’s. Jarden Corporation On April 15, 2016, Jarden became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Newell Brands Inc., as a result of a series of merger transactions (the “Jarden Acquisition”). The Jarden Acquisition was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 13, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”) between the Company, Jarden and two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Following the Jarden Acquisition, the Company was renamed Newell Brands Inc. Jarden is a leading, global consumer products company with leading brands, such as Yankee Candle®, Crock-Pot®, FoodSaver®, Mr. Coffee®, Oster®, Coleman®, First Alert®, Rawlings®, Jostens®, K2®, Marker®, Marmot®, Volkl® and many others. The Jarden Acquisition enables the Company to scale the enterprise with leading brands in global markets. The scale of the Company in key categories, channels and geographies enables it to deploy its strategy, which includes advantaged development and commercial capabilities, across a larger set of opportunities to generate accelerated growth and margin expansion. The Jarden Acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and Jarden’s assets, liabilities and results of operations are included in the Company’s financial statements from the acquisition date. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Jarden common stock was converted into the right to receive and became exchangeable for merger consideration consisting of (1) 0.862 of a share of the Company’s common stock plus (2) $21.00 in cash. On April 15, 2016, the Company provided for the issuance of up to 189.4 million shares of common stock and the payment of up to $4.6 billion for 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Jarden, which represented 219.7 million shares of Jarden common stock outstanding and eligible to receive the merger consideration. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has been notified by Jarden shareholders owning 10.6 million shares of Jarden common stock that they were exercising their dissenters’ rights and were seeking an appraisal of such shares, and as a result, the merger consideration issuable to these Jarden shareholders consisting of 9.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock had not been issued and $222.2 million in cash had not been paid as of June 30, 2016. The Jarden Acquisition constituted a make-whole fundamental change with respect to Jarden’s three series of outstanding convertible notes, making them eligible for conversion into shares of Jarden common stock and eligible to receive the merger consideration based on the number of Jarden shares into which the convertible notes may be converted. Jarden’s three series of convertible notes had an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion outstanding due in 2018, 2019 and 2034. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, substantially all of the Jarden convertible note holders elected to convert their notes into shares of Jarden common stock, resulting in 37.9 million shares of Jarden common stock that were exchanged for merger consideration consisting of 32.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock and $795.9 million of cash. Based on the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on April 15, 2016 of $44.33 per share, the total consideration paid or payable for shares of Jarden common stock was approximately $15.3 billion, including $5.4 billion of cash and $9.9 billion of common stock. Upon completion of the Jarden Acquisition, stockholders of Newell Rubbermaid and stockholders and convertible note holders of Jarden immediately before the merger owned 55% and 45%, respectively, of the Company. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had paid $5.2 billion and issued 213.9 million shares valued at $9.5 billion for shares of Jarden common stock tendered in the Jarden Acquisition. With respect to the 10.6 million shares of Jarden common stock held by dissenting shareholders exercising their dissenters’ appraisal rights, the Company accrued the estimated value of the merger consideration payable to such shareholders of $626.5 million, and such amount is included in other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016. In addition, on April 15, 2016, the Company paid $4.1 billion to settle certain of Jarden’s outstanding debt obligations, which included accrued interest and change-in-control premiums. The Company’s allocation of the total purchase price for the Jarden Acquisition to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary as the Company continues to finalize the valuation of property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets (and the related deferred income tax liabilities) and the allocation of goodwill to its operating segments. The table below represents a preliminary allocation of the total purchase price to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Jarden Acquisition based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition (in millions):

Approximately $174.8 million of the goodwill is expected to be tax deductible. The goodwill associated with the Jarden Acquisition is primarily related to synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 includes $2.2 billion of net sales and $9.1 million of operating loss related to Jarden. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Newell Rubbermaid and Jarden for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 as if the Jarden Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2015.
