For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company acquired Whitco Supply, LLC for a purchase price consideration of $185 million, net of cash acquired. Whitco Supply, LLC is known as a provider of energy products and solutions in the U.S. The Company has included the financial results of the acquisition in its consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition.

The Company completed its preliminary valuations as of the acquisition date of the acquired net assets and recognized goodwill of $53 million and intangible assets of $30 million in the U.S. segment, which are subject to change. If additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), the Company will refine its estimate of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately. The Company has not presented supplemental pro forma information because the acquired operations did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated operating results.
