Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions During the three months ended April 3, 2021, the Corporation acquired the assets of a residential building products distributor in an all-cash deal. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $1.6 million, and the preliminary allocation includes $1.3 million of tax deductible goodwill. The Corporation will finalize the allocation of the purchase price during 2021 based on the final purchase price and any adjustments required over the remaining measurement period. On December 31, 2020, the Corporation acquired Design Public Group ("DPG"), a leading e-Commerce distributor of high-design furniture and accessories for the office and home. This transaction, which was structured as an asset acquisition and consummated entirely in cash of approximately $50 million, aligns with the Corporation's long-term strategies related to digital and e-Commerce initiatives. Due to the timing of the transaction, DPG had no net sales or expenses included in the Corporation's Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for fiscal 2020. DPG's preliminary assets and liabilities are included in the Corporation's workplace furnishings segment, and preliminary goodwill, which is expected to be tax-deductible, is assigned to its own reporting unit. The provisional DPG purchase price allocation and estimated amortization periods of identified intangible assets as of the date of acquisition is as follows (dollars in thousands):
| Fair Value | Weighted Average Amortization Period
Inventories | $ | 1,058 |  |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 381 |  |
Accounts payable and accrued expenses | (8,299) |  |
Goodwill | 39,800 |  |
Customer lists | 9,700 |  | 6 years
Software | 3,800 |  | 4 years
Trade names | 3,400 |  | 10 years
Other intangible assets | 200 |  | 3 years
Total net assets | $ | 50,040 |  |
The provisional purchase accounting remains open with respect to the valuation of intangible assets and goodwill. The valuation analysis requires the use of complex management estimates and assumptions such as future cash flows, discount rates, royalty rates, long-term growth rates, and technology build costs. At this time, intangible assets and goodwill are recorded based on preliminary assumptions, and the Corporation has not obtained all of the information necessary to finalize the determination of fair values of intangible assets. The portions of the allocation that are provisional may be adjusted to reflect the finally determined amounts, and those adjustments may be material. The Corporation expects to finalize the purchase price allocation later in 2021. All transactions disclosed above were deemed to be acquisitions of businesses, and were accounted for using the acquisition method pursuant to ASC 805, with goodwill being recorded as a result of future cash flows and related fair value exceeding the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities.
