Acquisitions
Cheminova A/S
On April 21, 2015, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we completed the acquisition of 100 percent of the outstanding equity of Cheminova A/S, a Denmark Aktieselskab ("Cheminova") from Auriga Industries A/S, a Denmark Aktieselskab for an aggregate purchase price of $1.2 billion, excluding assumed net debt and hedged-related costs totaling $0.6 billion (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was funded with the October 10, 2014 term loan which was secured for the purposes of the Acquisition.
Cheminova is being integrated into our FMC Agricultural Solutions segment and has been included within our results of operations since the date of acquisition. The acquisition of Cheminova broadens our supply capabilities and strengthens our geographic footprint, particularly in Europe. Revenue and Income from continuing operations before income taxes attributable to Cheminova, since the date of acquisition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were approximately $217.0 million and $27.0 million, respectively.

Purchase Price Allocation
The acquisition of Cheminova has been accounted for under the GAAP business combinations accounting guidance, and as such we have applied acquisition accounting. Acquisition accounting requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The aggregate purchase price noted above was allocated to the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date using primarily Level 2 and Level 3 inputs (see Note 16 for an explanation of Level 2 and 3 inputs). These Level 2 and Level 3 valuation inputs include an estimate of future cash flows and discount rates. Additionally, estimated fair values are based, in part, upon outside preliminary appraisals for certain assets, including specifically-identified intangible assets.
The purchase price allocation was finalized as of March 31, 2016. The allocation was subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations was obtained. Any changes to the initial allocation are referred to as measurement-period adjustments. Measurement-period adjustments since the filing of our 2015 Form 10-K were primarily related to decreases in the estimated fair values of certain current assets, property, plant and equipment and income taxes payable. These decreases were offset by increases in current liabilities, intangible assets and deferred income taxes. The effect of all measurement-period adjustments in the first quarter of 2016 resulted in an increase to recognized goodwill of approximately $20 million.
The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Cheminova and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

(1)
Fair value of finished goods inventory acquired included a step-up in the value of approximately $57.8 million, of which $19.3 million was expensed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 all of which was expensed in the full year 2015 and included in "Cost of sales and services" on the condensed consolidated income statement.
(2)
The weighted average useful life of the acquired finite-lived intangibles, which primarily represents the customer relationships, is approximately 20 years.
(3)
Goodwill largely consists of expected cost synergies and economies of scale resulting from the business combination. None of the acquired goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes.
(4)
Long-term debt assumed primarily consisted of mortgage debt and borrowings under existing Cheminova credit facilities that were settled by FMC’s term loan in the second quarter of 2015.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma results of operations assume that the Acquisition occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma amounts include certain adjustments, including interest expense on the borrowings utilized to complete the acquisition, depreciation and amortization expense and income taxes. The pro forma amounts for the three and six month periods below exclude acquisition-related charges. The pro forma results do not include adjustments related to cost savings or other synergies that are anticipated as a result of the Acquisition. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2015, nor are they indicative of future results of operations.

Cheminova Acquisition Hedge Costs
Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding equity of Cheminova from Auriga for an aggregate purchase price of 8.5 billion Danish krone ("DKK"). At the time we entered into the Purchase Agreement, the U.S. dollar ("USD" or “$”) to DKK exchange rate was USD $1.00 to DKK 5.77, resulting in a USD purchase price of $1.47 billion, excluding assumed debt of approximately $0.3 billion. In order to minimize our exposure to adverse changes in the USD to DKK exchange rate from September 8, 2014 to April 21, 2015 (the acquisition close date), we entered into a series of foreign currency forward contracts ("FX forward contracts"). The FX forward contracts provided us the ability to fix the USD to DKK exchange rate for most of the DKK 8.5 billion purchase price, thereby limiting our exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations. Over the period from September 2014 to April 21, 2015 the USD strengthened against the DKK by approximately 21 percent to an exchange rate of USD $1.00 to DKK 6.96. The strengthening of the USD against the DKK results in a lower USD purchase price for Cheminova. Partially offsetting this was a mark-to-market net loss settlement on the FX forward contracts of $172.1 million during the first six months of 2015.
