Acquisitions | 20. Acquisitions 2016 Business Acquisitions On October 3, 2016, the Company’s subsidiary in Brazil acquired the commercial business of Tebras Tensoativos do Brazil Ltda. (Tebras) and the sulfonation production facility of PBC Industria Quimica Ltda. (PBC). The purchase price of the acquisitions, including adjustments for working capital, was R$93,309,000 (approximately $29,075,000), of which R$70,000,000 (approximately $21,812,000) was paid from cash on hand, R$9,000,000 (approximately $2,804,000) was deposited in escrow to cover certain potential losses as specified in the purchase agreement and R$14,309,000 (approximately $4,459,000) for working capital adjustments is unpaid pending agreement on the adjustment amounts. (All U.S. dollar equivalents were calculated using the October 3, 2016 exchange rates.) The combined entities have 25,000 metric tons of sulfonation capacity and a large, diverse customer portfolio. The acquisition is expected to expand and diversify the Company’s customer base for sulfonated products in Brazil and to provide an opportunity to sell the Company’s broader surfactant portfolio to over 1,200 new customers who will benefit from the Company’s technical service and formulation support. The acquired businesses are included in the Company’s Surfactants segment. The acquired entities’ contributions to Company net sales and net income for the year ended December 31, 2016, were insignificant. In addition to the purchase price paid, the Company incurred approximately $250,000 of acquisition-related expenses for legal, consulting, valuation, accounting and environmental testing services. These costs were included in the administrative expenses line of the Company’s consolidated statement of net income for the year ended December 31, 2016. The acquisitions were accounted for as a business combination, and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the acquisition were measured and recorded at their estimated fair values. The following table summarizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
(Dollars in thousands) |  | October 3, 2016 |
Assets: |  |  |  |
Current assets |  | $ | 5,165 |
Property, plant and equipment |  |  | 5,716 |
Identifiable intangible assets |  |  | 7,354 |
Goodwill |  |  | 14,327 |
Total assets acquired |  | $ | 32,562 |
Liabilities: |  |  |  |
Current liabilities |  | $ | 408 |
Deferred tax liability |  |  | 3,079 |
Total liabilities assumed |  | $ | 3,487 |
Net assets acquired |  | $ | 29,075 |
The acquired goodwill, which was assigned entirely to the Company’s Surfactant segment, is not tax deductible. The goodwill reflects the opportunity of introducing the Company’s broad line of surfactant products to the acquired entities’ large customer base. Identifiable intangible assets included customer relationships ($4,331,000), a supply contract ($2,555,000) and non-compete agreements ($468,000). The amortization period for these intangibles at the time of acquisition were 13 years, four years and five years, respectively. The Company continues to evaluate the purchase price allocation, including the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any changes to these amounts during the measurement period may result in an adjustment to the recorded amount of goodwill. Tebras and PBC generated approximately $28,000,000 in net sales in 2015, with net income of less than $2,000,000. Pro forma financial information for 2015 and 2016 has not been included because revenues and earnings of the Company would not have been significantly different than reported had the acquisition date been January 1, 2015. 2015 Acquisitions Business Acquisition On June 15, 2015, the Company acquired Procter & Gamble do Brasil S.A.’s (P&G Brazil’s) sulfonation production facility in Bahia, Brazil. The facility is located in northeastern Brazil and has 30,000 metric tons of surfactants capacity. The acquired business is included in the Company’s Surfactant segment. The new business complements the Company’s existing Vespasiano, Brazil, plant and provides opportunities to serve growing northeastern Brazil. The purchase price was cash of $5,133,000. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the acquisition were measured and recorded at their estimated fair values. The purchase included property, plant and equipment valued at $6,007,000 and the assumption of liabilities valued at $874,000. No intangibles or goodwill were acquired in the business combination. The purchase price allocation is final, and no allocation adjustments were made to the amounts recorded at the acquisition date. Other acquisition-related expenses were not material. Post-acquisition financial results for the acquired business were insignificant. Pro forma financial information has not been included because revenues and earnings of the Company would not have been significantly different than reported had the acquisition date been January 1, 2014. See Note 22 for information regarding the subsequent impairment of assets at the Bahia, Brazil, site. Asset Acquisition In 2015, the Company purchased select chemical manufacturing assets and land from The Sun Products Corporation’s Pasadena, Texas, manufacturing site. The Company intends to redeploy the manufacturing assets as needed to reduce future capital expenditures. The Company is currently planning on making nonionic surfactants at the site. The purchase price of the land and manufacturing assets was $13,000,000 cash, of which $3,377,000 was allocated to land and $9,623,000 was allocated to manufacturing assets.
