ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Acquisitions

On November 10, 2017, we acquired a value-added protein business for $226 million, net of cash acquired, as part of our strategic expansion initiative. Its results, subsequent to the acquisition closing, are included in our Prepared Foods and Chicken segments. The preliminary purchase price allocation included $21 million of net working capital, including $10 million of cash acquired, $13 million of Property, Plant and Equipment, $90 million of Intangible Assets and $112 million of Goodwill. All of the goodwill acquired is deductible for tax purposes. Certain estimated values for the acquisition, including goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment, are not yet finalized and are subject to revision as additional information becomes available and more detailed analyses are completed.

On June 7, 2017, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of AdvancePierre Foods Holdings, Inc. ("AdvancePierre") as part of our strategy to sustainably feed the world with the fastest growing portfolio of protein brands. The purchase price was equal to $40.25 per share for AdvancePierre's outstanding common stock, or approximately $3.2 billion. We funded the acquisition with existing cash on hand, net proceeds from the issuance of new senior notes and a new term loan facility, as well as borrowings under our commercial paper program. AdvancePierre's results from operations subsequent to the acquisition closing are included in the Prepared Foods and Chicken segments.

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation and fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date of AdvancePierre. Certain estimated values for the acquisition, including goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and deferred income taxes, are not yet finalized and are subject to revision as additional information becomes available and more detailed analyses are completed. The purchase price was allocated based on information available at acquisition date. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded measurement period adjustments which decreased goodwill by $2 million, primarily related to updated information related to income taxes.

The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is as follows:



			in millions
Intangible Asset Category	Type	Life in Years	Fair Value
Brands & Trademarks	Amortizable	Weighted Average of 15 years	$	390
Customer Relationships	Amortizable	Weighted Average of 15 years	1,125
Total identifiable intangible assets			$	1,515

As a result of the acquisition, we recognized a total of $2,980 million of goodwill. The purchase price was assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, and any excess was allocated to goodwill, as shown in the table above. Goodwill represents the value we expect to achieve through the implementation of operational synergies and growth opportunities. We completed the allocation of goodwill to our segments in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using the with-and-without approach of the estimated operating results and synergy impact to fair value of our reporting units. This resulted in $2,412 million and $568 million of goodwill allocated to our Prepared Foods and Chicken segments, respectively. Of the goodwill acquired, $163 million related to previous AdvancePierre acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

We used various valuation techniques to determine fair value, with the primary techniques being discounted cash flow analysis, relief-from-royalty, and multi-period excess earnings valuation approaches, which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy. Under these valuation approaches, we are required to make estimates and assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates based on budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data.

The acquisition of AdvancePierre was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and consequently, the results of

operations for AdvancePierre are reported in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations as if the acquisition of AdvancePierre had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2016. AdvancePierre's pre-acquisition results have been added to our historical results. The pro forma results contained in the table below include adjustments for amortization of acquired intangibles, depreciation expense, interest expense related to the financing and related income taxes. Any potential cost savings or other operational efficiencies that could result from the acquisition are not included in these pro forma results.

These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the acquisitions occurred on the assumed dates, nor is it necessarily an indication of future operating results.

Dispositions

On April 24, 2017, we announced our intent to sell three non-protein businesses as part of our strategic focus on protein brands. These businesses, which are all part of our Prepared Foods segment, included Sara Lee® Frozen Bakery, Kettle and Van’s® and produce items such as frozen desserts, waffles, snack bars, and soups, sauces and sides. The sale is also expected to include the Chef Pierre®, Bistro Collection®, Kettle Collection™, and Van’s® brands, a license to use the Sara Lee® brand in various channels, as well as our Tarboro, North Carolina, Fort Worth, Texas, and Traverse City, Michigan, prepared foods facilities. The remaining assets and liabilities related to these businesses are classified as assets and liabilities held for sale in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at December 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017.

We completed the sale of our Kettle business on December 30, 2017, and received net proceeds of $125 million including a working capital adjustment. As a result of the sale, we recorded a pretax gain of $22 million, which is reflected in Cost of Sales in our Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income for the three months ended December 30, 2017. We utilized the net proceeds to pay down term loan debt.

We anticipate we will close on the sale of the Sara Lee® Frozen Bakery and Van’s® businesses in the back half of fiscal 2018. In the first quarter of 2018, we recorded a pretax impairment charge totaling $26 million, due to revised estimates of the businesses fair value based on current expected net sales proceeds. The impairment charge was recorded in Cost of Sales in our Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income for the three months ended December 30, 2017, and primarily consisted of goodwill previously classified within assets held for sale.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we made the decision to sell an additional non-protein business as part of our strategic focus on protein brands. This business is included in our Prepared Foods segment and had a net carrying value of approximately $50 million at December 30, 2017, which also included allocated goodwill. The net carrying value will change in future periods due to such items as normal business operations, timing of closing of the sale, as well as final negotiated deal terms. We anticipate we will be able to identify a buyer and close the transaction within the next twelve months and expect to record a pretax gain as a result of the sale of this business. We have reclassified the assets and liabilities related to this business to assets and liabilities held for sale in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2017.

The Company concluded the businesses were not significant disposal groups and did not represent a strategic shift, and therefore were not classified as discontinued operations for any of the periods presented.
