DelStar Acquisition

In December 2014, the Company acquired certain assets from Pronamic Industries, Inc., or Pronamic, and Smith & Nephew, or SNN. As a result of the acquisition, these assets were incorporated into SWM's Filtration segment. The acquisition of these assets provides further opportunities for growth into the filtration and healthcare industries. These acquisitions are being treated as business combinations and accounted for in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price included initial cash payments of $30.7 million, net of $0.7 million in working capital adjustments. An additional variable payment of up to $3.5 million in connection with one of the acquisitions may be due based on the performance of the assets over a period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2015, of which $1.0 million was recorded as a payable based on management's estimate of the fair value of the variable consideration payable. Of the amount recorded $0.5 million was reversed through other income on the condensed consolidated statement of income in the first quarter of 2015 based on updated estimates of future performance.


As of March 31, 2015, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition of assets from Pronamic and SNN are provisional because final appraisals have not yet been completed. The cash paid for these acquisitions and the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the December 19, 2014 and December 31, 2014 acquisition dates for Pronamic assets and SNN assets, respectively, are as follows ($ in millions):

The Company used the income, market, or cost approach (or a combination thereof) for the preliminary valuation as appropriate, and used valuation inputs in these models and analyses that were based on market participant assumptions. Market participants are considered to be buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. For certain items, the carrying amount was determined to be a reasonable approximation of fair value based on information available to SWM management.

Properties acquired included two manufacturing and related facilities, land and leased sites that include leasehold improvements, and machinery and equipment for use in manufacturing operations. Management valued properties using the cost approach supported where available by observable market data which included consideration of obsolescence.

Intangible assets acquired included contracts with significant customers, technology related to products subject to a number of existing patents and trade know-how, and a number of customer relationships in water filtration, industrial filtration and healthcare industries. Management valued intangible assets using the relief from royalty and multi-period excess earnings methods, both forms of the income approach supported by observable market data for peer companies. The following table shows the preliminary fair values assigned to intangible assets ($ in millions):

In connection with the acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill, which represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated preliminary fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. The goodwill is attributed primarily to incremental revenue growth from combining the acquired assets with DelStar's existing business and workforce as well as the benefits of access to different markets and customers. Goodwill from these acquisitions will be assigned to the Filtration segment. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The goodwill was determined on the basis of the provisional fair values of the assets and liabilities identified as of the acquisition date. It may be adjusted, within a period of no more than 12 months from the acquisition date, if the provisional fair values change as a result of circumstances existing at the acquisition date. Such fair value adjustments may arise in respect to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and inventories, upon completion of the necessary valuations and physical verifications of such assets. The amount of provisions may also be adjusted as a result of ongoing procedures to identify and measure liabilities and contingent liabilities, including tax, environmental risks and litigation. The amount of deferred taxes may also be adjusted during the measurement period.

In the first quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $1.3 million in direct and indirect acquisition-related costs related to the purchases. Direct and indirect acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred and are included in the General Expense line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The amounts of the unaudited pro forma Net Sales and Income from Continuing Operations of the combined entity had the acquisition date been January 1, 2014 are as follows ($ in millions):
