Net Investment in Sales-Type Leases Acquired

The fair value of the net investment in sales-type leases acquired was based upon a determination that the interest rate implicit in the lease contract portfolio represented a market interest rate as well as a determination that the residual value of the overall lease contract portfolio represents fair market value.

Identifiable Intangible Assets Acquired

The customer relationships asset acquired represented CareFusion’s contractual relationships with its customers. The fair value of these customer relationships was determined based on the present value of projected cash flows utilizing an income approach with a risk-adjusted discount rate of 11%. The amortization period of the customer relationships was determined to be 15 years and this period corresponds with the weighted average of lives determined for the product technology which underlies the customer contracts.

The developed technology assets acquired represented CareFusion’s developed technologies in the areas of medication management, infection prevention, operating room and procedural effectiveness, and respiratory care. The technologies’ fair values were determined based on the present value of projected cash flows utilizing an income approach with a risk-adjusted discount rate of 11%. The technologies will be amortized over a weighted-average amortization period of 12 years, which is the weighted average period over which the technologies are expected to generate substantial cash flows. Assets of approximately $117 million have been reclassified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet in connection with the Company's agreement to sell the Respiratory Solutions business. Additional disclosures regarding this transaction are provided in Note 10.

The trademark assets acquired represented the value of registered trademarks protecting the intellectual property underlying CareFusion’s product technologies. The fair value of the trademarks represents the present value of projected cash flows, specifically the estimated cost savings from not being required to pay royalties for use of these intellectual properties, utilizing an income approach with a risk-adjusted discount rate of 11%. The trademarks will be amortized over a weighted-average amortization period of 22 years, which is the weighted average period over which the trademarks are expected to generate substantial cash flows.

Other intangible assets acquired included $110 million relating to acquired in-process research and development assets representing development projects relating to various product technologies. Assets of approximately $80 million have been reclassified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet in connection with the Company's agreement to sell the Respiratory Solutions business, as discussed above. The probability of success associated with the remaining projects, based upon the applicable technological and commercial risk, was assumed to be 80% to 85%, depending upon the project. The projects’ fair values were determined based on the present value of projected cash flows utilizing an income approach with a risk-adjusted discount rate of 12%. The launches of the various projects are expected to occur from 2018 to 2022.

Other Liabilities Assumed

The balance of other liabilities assumed included a $36 million liability recorded due to a recall relating to AVEA® ventilators, which is one of CareFusion’s respiratory solutions products. The liability represented the costs associated with voluntary field corrections for a portion of the installed base of ventilators.

Goodwill

Goodwill typically results through expected synergies from combining operations of an acquiree and an acquirer, as well as from intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition includes, among other things, the value of combining the complementary product portfolios of the Company and CareFusion to offer integrated medication management solutions and smart devices. Synergies are expected from combining the two companies’ products to meet unmet needs in hospitals, hospital pharmacies and alternate sites of care to increase efficiencies, reduce medication administration errors and improve patient and healthcare worker safety. Synergies are also expected to result from solid positions in patient safety to maximize outcomes in infection prevention, respiratory care, and acute care procedural effectiveness. No portion of goodwill from this acquisition was deductible for tax purposes.
