NOTE D — ACQUISITIONS

 

On June 15, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Panther for $180.0 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand and a $100.0 million secured Term Loan (see Note H). The results of Panther’s operations subsequent to the acquisition date have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The acquisition of Panther enhanced the Company’s end-to-end logistics solutions and expands the Company’s customer base and business diversification. Panther is reported as the Premium Logistics segment (see Note N).

 

The following table summarizes the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities at the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments recorded to Panther’s goodwill during 2013 are presented in Note E.

The fair value of accounts receivable acquired was $31.8 million, having a gross contractual amount of $32.3 million as of June 15, 2012 with $0.5 million expected by the Company to be uncollectible. The value assigned to acquired software reflects estimated reproduction costs, less an obsolescence allowance. The recorded amount of acquired software is being amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years. Software is included within property, plant and equipment in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. See Note E for further discussion of acquired goodwill and intangibles.

 

The Panther acquisition was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the Panther operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2012, revenues of $132.3 million and operating income of $2.4 million related to Panther were included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized $2.1 million of acquisition related costs in second quarter 2012, which were included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For segment reporting purposes, these transaction costs were reported within other and eliminations.

 

The following unaudited pro forma supplemental information presents the Company’s consolidated results of operations as if the Panther acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2011:

The pro forma results of operations are based on historical information adjusted to include the pro forma effect of applying the Company’s accounting policies; eliminating sales transactions between the Company and Panther; adjusting amortization expense for the estimated acquired fair value and the amortization periods of software and intangible assets; adjusting interest expense and interest income for the financing of the acquisition; eliminating transaction expenses related to the acquisition; and the related tax effects of these adjustments. The pro forma information has also been adjusted for the impact on the income tax provision or benefit, as applicable, resulting from changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances which were primarily attributable to the Panther acquisition. As a result, the pro forma information excludes the reversal of deferred tax valuation allowances of $3.3 million ($0.13 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2012. The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect either the realization of potential cost savings or any related integration costs. This pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisition had occurred as of the date indicated, nor does the pro forma information intend to be a projection of results that may be obtained in the future.

 

On April 30, 2014, the Company acquired a privately-owned business which is reported within the FleetNet reporting segment for net cash consideration of $2.6 million. On May 31, 2013, the Company acquired a privately-owned business which is included in the ABF Moving segment for net cash consideration of $4.1 million. As these acquired businesses are not significant to the Company’s consolidated operating results and financial position, pro forma financial information and the purchase price allocations of acquired assets and liabilities have not been presented. The results of the acquired operations subsequent to the respective acquisition dates have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See Note E for further discussion of acquired goodwill and intangibles.

 

Subsequent to year end, on January 2, 2015, ABF Logistics acquired Smart Lines Transportation Group, LLC, a privately-owned truckload brokerage firm, for net cash consideration of $5.2 million. As this acquired business is not significant to the Company’s consolidated operating results and financial position, pro forma financial information and the purchase price allocation of acquired assets and liabilities have not been presented. The acquired business will primarily be reported in the ABF Logistics operating segment for the year ending December 31, 2015 and interim periods therein.
