Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Neenah

On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to combine with Neenah, Inc. ("Neenah"), a specialty materials company incorporated in Delaware, in an all-stock merger of equals (the "Merger Agreement"), to create a global leader in specialty materials, accelerate growth and innovation, as well as achieve cost synergies. The Merger was approved by the shareholders of both the Company and Neenah on June 29, 2022 and was consummated on July 6, 2022. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was unanimously approved by the board of directors of both companies, Neenah merged into a directly owned subsidiary of the Company, with Neenah surviving the Merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Mativ.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Neenah's common stock outstanding was exchanged for 1.358 shares of common stock in the Company. As such, the Company issued approximately 22.8 million shares of its common stock to Neenah's shareholders under the terms of the Merger Agreement. Based on the Company's closing stock price on July 5, 2022, the total value of shares issued to Neenah's shareholders was approximately $534.1 million. The total consideration transferred to merge with Neenah was $1,056.3 million, which included the equity portion consideration of $534.1 million, repayment of Neenah debt of $504.9 million, repayment of acquisition costs incurred by Neenah of $13.5 million and the fair value of unvested stock awards allocated to the pre-merger period of $3.8 million.

The Company used the proceeds of the borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement, as defined and discussed in Note 14. Debt, to repay existing indebtedness of Neenah and to pay other costs and expenses in connection with the Merger.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination with the Company being treated as the accounting acquirer in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under this method of accounting, the total consideration has been allocated to Neenah's assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon fair values at the Merger date. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were measured at fair value as of the Merger date primarily using Level 3 inputs. The excess of the total consideration over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and has been allocated to the ATM segment. The goodwill recorded is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes as it is primarily attributable to expected revenue and cost synergies. The estimated purchase price allocation disclosed as of September 30, 2022 was revised during the fourth quarter as new information was received and analyzed resulting in an increase in Intangible assets, net of $43.9 million, an increase in Deferred income tax liabilities of $25.9 million, an increase in Property, plant and equipment, net of $5.7 million, an increase in Inventories, net of $4.0 million, a decrease in Goodwill of $28.0 million, and other immaterial changes, as presented in the table below. The amounts below represent the current preliminary fair value estimates. As additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final allocations are completed, we may further revise the preliminary acquisition consideration allocation during the remainder of the measurement period, which will not exceed twelve months from the closing of the acquisition. Such revisions or changes may be material.

The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Merger date were as follows (in millions):


	Preliminary Allocation as of December 31, 2022		Adjustments		Preliminary Allocation as of July 6, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	55.9	$	—	$	55.9
Accounts receivable, net	198.9		(7.7)		206.6
Inventories, net	195.8		4.0		191.8

Other current assets	27.9		0.4		27.5
Property, plant and equipment, net	459.3		5.7		453.6


Intangible assets, net	262.9		43.9		219.0
Other assets	41.9		0.1		41.8
Total assets	$	1,242.6	$	46.4	$	1,196.2

Current debt	$	1.9	$	—	$	1.9


Accounts payable and other current liabilities	199.7		(8.2)		207.9
Long-term debt	22.8		—		22.8


Deferred income tax liabilities	93.6		25.9		67.7
Other liabilities	82.7		0.7		82.0
Net assets acquired	$	841.9	$	28.0	$	813.9
Goodwill	214.4		(28.0)		242.4
Total consideration	$	1,056.3	$	—	$	1,056.3

The fair value of receivables acquired approximates the gross contractual value. The contractual amount not expected to be collected is immaterial.

Acquired inventory was comprised of finished goods, work in progress and raw materials. The fair value of finished goods was based on net realizable value adjusted for the costs of selling and manufacturing and a reasonable profit margin on selling effort and manufacturing costs. The fair value of work in progress was based on net realizable

value adjusted for the costs of selling and a reasonable profit margin on selling effort. The fair value of raw materials was determined to approximate book value.

Property, plant and equipment is comprised of land, buildings and leasehold improvements, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, computer equipment and construction in progress. The preliminary estimated fair value was primarily determined using a reproduction/replacement cost approach which measures the value of an asset by estimating the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets adjusted for age and condition of the asset.

Acquired intangible assets include customer relationships, tradenames and developed technologies. Intangible assets were valued using the multi-period excess earnings and relief-from-royalty methods, both forms of the income approach which considers a forecast of future cash flows generated from the use of each asset. The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets (in millions) and their estimated useful lives (in years):


	Fair Value		Weighted-Average Amortization Period
Amortizable intangible assets:
Customer relationships	$	222.4	14.2
Tradenames and other	17.3		20
Developed technology	23.2		7
Total amortizable intangible assets	$	262.9

The preliminary estimate of deferred tax effects resulting from the Merger include the expected federal, state and foreign tax consequences associated with temporary differences between the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the respective tax basis.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized direct and indirect costs related to the Merger of $45.5 million predominantly related to severance and termination costs resulting from the change in control, legal and other professional fees. Direct and indirect merger-related costs were expensed as incurred and are primarily included in the General expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

Net sales and Net income from Neenah included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) from the Merger date are as follows (in millions):


	July 6, 2022 - December 31, 2022
Net sales	$	560.2
Net income	$	2.5

Scapa

On April 15, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Scapa Group plc (“Scapa”), a UK-based innovation, design, and manufacturing solutions provider for healthcare and industrial markets for aggregate cash consideration of $630.6 million, net of $22.7 million of Cash and cash equivalents acquired and including $568.9 million for the purchase of all Scapa ordinary shares, $75.9 million for the repayment of Scapa debt and $8.5 million for the repayment of acquisition costs incurred by Scapa. The acquisition adds to our portfolio of precision engineered performance materials, expands our innovation, design, and formulation capabilities, and brings a variety of new coating and converting technologies to the Company. Scapa, part of the ATM segment operates globally with manufacturing and sales operations in the Americas, Asia and Europe.

The purchase price was funded with borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement, as defined and discussed in Note 14. Debt.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date, primarily using Level 3 inputs. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities is assigned to goodwill. The goodwill is assigned to the ATM reporting segment and is primarily attributable to expected revenue synergies. It is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The estimated purchase price allocation as of April 15, 2021 was revised throughout the measurement period as new information was received and analyzed and was finalized in the second quarter of 2022. It resulted in a decrease in Deferred tax liabilities of $12.3 million, an increase in Property, plant and equipment of $7.7 million, an increase in Other non-current liabilities, primarily due to changes in certain tax positions of $7.0 million, a $3.0 million decrease in Other non-current assets, and other immaterial changes, as presented in the table below.

The consideration paid for Scapa and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the April 15, 2021 acquisition date were as follows (in millions):
