2. ACQUISITIONS

On August 21, 2012, we acquired the P.F. Chang’s® and Bertolli® brands frozen meal business from Unilever for $266.9 million in cash. Products will continue to be produced by Unilever under transactions services and contract manufacturing agreements until the end of calendar year 2013. Approximately $168.1 million of the purchase price has been classified as goodwill pending determination of the final purchase price allocation. This business, which has annual sales of approximately $300 million, will be included in the Consumer Foods segment.

 

In May 2012, we acquired Kangaroo Brands’ pita chip operations for $47.9 million in cash. Approximately $20.4 million of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and $20.8 million was allocated to brands, trademarks and other intangibles. The amount allocated to goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. This business is included in the Consumer Foods segment.

In May 2012, we acquired Odom’s Tennessee Pride for $96.6 million in cash, plus assumed liabilities. The business manufactures Odom’s Tennessee Pride® frozen breakfast products and other sausage products. Approximately $30.1 million of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and $34.7 million was allocated to brands, trademarks and other intangibles. The amount allocated to goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. This business is included in the Consumer Foods segment.

In March 2012, we acquired Del Monte Canada for $185.6 million in cash, plus assumed liabilities. The acquisition includes all Del Monte® branded packaged fruit, fruit snacks, and vegetable products in Canada, as well as Aylmer® brand tomato products. Approximately $37.8 million of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and $86.9 million was allocated to brands, trademarks and other intangibles. The amount allocated to goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. This business is included in the Consumer Foods segment.

In November 2011, we acquired National Pretzel Company for $301.9 million in cash, net of cash acquired, plus assumed liabilities. National Pretzel Company is a private label supplier and branded producer of pretzels and related products. Approximately $178.5 million of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and $68.2 million was allocated to brands, trademarks and other intangibles. The amount allocated to goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. This business is included in the Consumer Foods segment.

In November 2011, we acquired an additional equity interest in Agro Tech Foods Limited (“ATFL”) for $4.9 million in cash, net of cash acquired, plus assumed liabilities. ATFL is a publicly traded company in India that markets food and food ingredients to consumers and institutional customers in India. Approximately $130.3 million of the acquisition value was allocated to goodwill and $42.2 million was allocated to trade names. The amount allocated to goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. As a result of this additional investment, we now have a majority interest (approximately 52%) in ATFL, and we began consolidating the financial statements of ATFL in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Prior to our acquisition of a majority interest in ATFL, we accounted for our noncontrolling interest (approximately 48% of the outstanding common shares) under the equity method. The fair value of ATFL was determined based upon the closing price of ATFL common shares as the date of the acquisition of this additional investment. Consolidated financial results of ATFL are included in the Consumer Foods segment in periods subsequent to our acquisition of a majority interest.

For each of these acquisitions, the amounts allocated to goodwill were primarily attributable to anticipated synergies, product portfolios, and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in these acquisitions were recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values of the assets and liabilities related to the P.F. Chang’s and Bertolli brands’ frozen meals, as well as Odom’s Tennessee Pride, are subject to refinement as we complete our analyses relative to the fair values at the respective acquisition dates.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations as if the acquisitions of National Pretzel Company, Del Monte Canada, Odom’s Tennessee Pride, the Kangaroo Brands’ pita chip operations, the P.F. Chang’s and Bertolli brands’ frozen meals business, and the majority interest in ATFL (collectively, the acquirees) had occurred at the beginning of each period presented. The acquirees’ pre-acquisition results have been added to ConAgra Foods’ historical results. The pro forma results contained in the table below include adjustments for amortization of acquired intangibles and depreciation expense, as well as related income taxes. These pro forma results may not necessarily reflect the actual results of operations that would have been achieved, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations.
