Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | Acquisitions In the first quarter of 2015, the Company acquired the remaining equity interests of Metzler Automotive Profiles India Private Limited (26%) and Cooper Standard Jingda Changchun Automotive Co., Ltd. (20%) for a combined cash consideration of $1,262. These acquisitions were accounted for as equity transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 810 “Consolidations.” In the first quarter of 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of an additional 47.5% of Huayu-Cooper Standard Sealing Systems Co. (“Shenya”), increasing its ownership to 95%, for cash consideration of $59,320. The final payment of $9,954 related to this acquisition was made in the second quarter of 2015. The business acquired in the transaction is operated from Shenya’s manufacturing locations in China. Shenya primarily supplies sealing systems and components to the automotive industry. This acquisition is directly aligned with the Company’s growth strategy by strengthening important customer relationships in the automotive sealing systems market. This acquisition was accounted for under ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and the results of operations of Shenya are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, February 27, 2015. This acquisition does not meet the thresholds for a significant acquisition and therefore no pro forma financial information is presented. Prior to the acquisition, the Company held a 47.5% unconsolidated equity interest in Shenya. The fair value of the equity interest prior to the date of acquisition was $41,378, resulting in a gain of $14,199 recorded in other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The fair value of the Company's previous 47.5% equity interest, 47.5% purchased and 5% noncontrolling interest in Shenya were estimated using income and market approaches based on financial analysis methodologies (including the discounted cash flow analysis), projected financial information, management's estimates, available information, and reasonable and supportable assumptions. These fair value measurements are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of Shenya assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and other current liabilities were stated at historical carrying values, which management believes approximates fair value given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventories were recorded at fair value which is estimated for finished goods and work-in-process based upon the expected selling price less costs to complete, selling, and disposal costs, and a normal profit to the buyer. Raw material inventory was recorded at carrying value as such value approximates the replacement cost. Deferred income taxes have been provided in the condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the Company's estimates of the tax versus book basis of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company has estimated the fair value of property, plant and equipment, intangibles, other long-lived assets, certain liabilities and noncontrolling interest based upon financial estimates and projections prepared in conjunction with the transaction. These estimates are preliminary and may change in the future as information becomes available from third party valuations. The value assigned to all assets and liabilities did not exceed the acquisition price, therefore goodwill was recorded related to this transaction. |
