Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions During the first nine months of 2013, the Company completed acquisitions for an aggregate amount of approximately $56 million, net of cash acquired. Of these acquisitions, the most significant included Martinic Engineering, Inc. ("Martinic") within the Company's Aerospace & Defense reportable segment, Wulfrun Specialised Fasteners Limited ("Wulfrun") within the Company's Energy reportable segment and C.P. Witter Limited ("Witter") and the towing technology and business assets of AL-KO GmbH("AL-KO"), both within the Company's Cequent APEA reportable segment. Martinic is a manufacturer of highly-engineered, precision machined, complex parts for commercial and military aerospace applications, including auxiliary power units, as well as electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems located in the United States and generated approximately $13 million in revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Wulfrun is a manufacturer and distributor of specialty bolting and CNC machined components for use in critical oil and gas, pipeline and power generation applications located in the United Kingdom and generated approximately $10 million in revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Also located in the United Kingdom, Witter is a manufacturer of highly-engineered towbars and accessories which are distributed through a wide network of commercial dealers, and generated approximately $20 million in revenue for the twelve months ended March 31, 2013. The Company also completed the acquisition of the towing technology and business assets of AL-KO, located in both Germany and Finland. The acquired assets generated approximately $16 million of revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013. The fair value of the AL-KO net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price, resulting in a bargain purchase gain of approximately $2.9 million, which is included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. While the Company has recorded preliminary purchase accounting adjustments for these acquisitions, the Company may refine such amounts as it finalizes these estimates during the requisite one-year measurement periods. The results of operations of the aforementioned acquisitions are not significant compared to the overall results of operations of the Company. Arminak & Associates During the first quarter of 2012, the Company acquired 70% of the membership interests of Arminak & Associates, LLC ("Arminak") for the purchase price of approximately $67.7 million. Arminak is included in the Company's Packaging reportable segment. The purchase agreement provides the Company an option to purchase, and Arminak's previous owners an option to sell, the remaining 30% noncontrolling interest at specified dates in the future based on a multiple of future earnings, as defined in the purchase agreement. The put and call options become exercisable during the first quarters of 2014, 2015 and 2016. The combination of a noncontrolling interest and a redemption feature resulted in a redeemable noncontrolling interest, which is classified outside of permanent equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In order to estimate the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in Arminak, the Company utilized the Monte Carlo valuation method, using variations of estimated future discounted cash flows given certain significant assumptions including expected revenue growth, minimum and maximum estimated levels of gross profit margin, future expected cash flows, amounts transferred during each put and call exercise period and appropriate discount rates. As these assumptions are not observable in the market, the calculation represents a Level 3 fair value measurement in the fair value hierarchy, as defined. The Company recorded the redeemable noncontrolling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. At September 30, 2013, the estimated fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest exceeded the redemption value. Changes in the carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interest are summarized as follows:
|  | Nine months ended September 30, 2013
|  | (dollars in thousands)
Beginning balance, December 31, 2012 |  | $ | 26,780 |
Distributions to noncontrolling interests |  | (1,910 | )
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests |  | $ | 3,090 |
Ending balance, September 30, 2013 |  | $ | 27,960 |
The Company previously presented pro forma net sales and net income attributable to TriMas Corporation as if the business combination occurred as of January 1, 2011. Certain nonrecurring adjustments for acquisition costs incurred and purchase accounting adjustments related to step-up in value and subsequent amortization of inventory were included in the first quarter 2011 pro forma results thereof. Pro forma net sales and net income attributable to TriMas Corporation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $335.9 million and $18.7 million, respectively, and $979.9 million and $49.8 million, respectively. The supplemental pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might have been achieved. Total acquisition costs incurred by the Company in connection with its purchase of Arminak, primarily related to third-party legal, accounting and tax diligence fees, were approximately $1.3 million, of which approximately $1.0 million was incurred during the first quarter of 2012. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.
