BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
NOTE 12 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Revenues and expenses of the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective dates of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities is based on estimates of fair market value and may be prospectively revised if and when additional information the Company is awaiting concerning certain asset and liability valuations is obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of our acquisitions with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce.

On January 2, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the equity securities and units of B27, LLC (“B27”) by way of a Securities Purchase Agreement to expand DXP’s pump packaging offering. The total transaction value was approximately $293.6 million, excluding approximately $1.0 million in transaction costs recognized within SG&A in the 2013 statement of income.  The purchase price was financed with borrowings under our amended credit facility and approximately $4.0 million (36,000 shares) of DXP common stock. DXP has not completed the valuation of working capital due to a dispute with the sellers of B27 regarding the working capital adjustment to the purchase price. Estimated goodwill of $178.3 million and intangible assets of $81.1 million were recognized for this acquisition. Approximately $154.6 million of the estimated goodwill or intangible assets are expected not to be tax deductible. The estimated goodwill associated with this acquisition is included in the IPS and Service Centers segments. During the fourth quarter of 2014, DXP performed its annual impairment test and recognized impairment expense of $105.3 million on the goodwill associated with the acquisition of B27.
On May 1, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests of Machinery Tooling and Supply, LLC (“MT&S”) to expand DXP’s cutting tools offering in the North Central region of the United States. DXP paid approximately $14.7 million for MT&S, which was borrowed under our existing credit facility. DXP has completed valuations of intangibles for MT&S, the valuation of working capital items, and completed the analysis of tax effects, however, the amounts remain preliminary due to potential working capital adjustments. Estimated goodwill of $4.3 million and intangible assets of $4.1 million were recognized for this acquisition. All of the estimated goodwill is included in the Service Centers segment.

The value assigned to the non-compete agreements and customer relationships for business acquisitions were determined by discounting the estimated cash flows associated with non-compete agreements and customer relationships as of the date the acquisition was consummated. The estimated cash flows were based on estimated revenues net of operating expenses and net of capital charges for assets that contribute to the projected cash flow from these assets. The projected revenues and operating expenses were estimated based on management estimates. Net capital charges for assets that contribute to projected cash flow were based on the estimated fair value of those assets. For B27, a discount rate of 13.5% was deemed appropriate for valuing these assets and was based on the risks associated with the respective cash flows taking into consideration the acquired company’s weighted average cost of capital.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, businesses acquired during 2014 contributed sales of $43.7 million and a loss before taxes of approximately $1.4 million.
