Business Acquisitions

On February 2, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Meter Readings Holding Group, LLC ("Aclara Technologies" or "Aclara") for approximately $1.1 billion. Aclara is a leading global provider of smart infrastructure solutions for electric, gas, and water utilities with advanced metering solutions and grid monitoring sensor technology, as well as leading software enabled installation services. The acquisition was structured as a merger in which Aclara became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company. Aclara's businesses have been added to the Power segment. The acquisition extends the Power segment's capabilities into smart automation technologies, accelerates ongoing innovation efforts to address utility customer demand for data and integrated solutions, and expands the segment's reach to a broader set of utility customers.

The Company financed the acquisition and related transactions with net proceeds from borrowings under a new unsecured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $500 million, the issuance of 3.50% Senior Notes due 2028 in the aggregate principal amount of $450 million and issuances of commercial paper.

Supplemental Pro-Forma Data

Aclara’s results of operations have been included in the Company's financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on February 2, 2018. Aclara contributed sales of approximately $90.4 million and an operating loss of approximately $4.9 million for the period from the completion of the acquisition through March 31, 2018.

The following unaudited supplemental pro-forma information presents consolidated results as if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2017. The pro-forma results were calculated by combining the results of the Company with the stand-alone results of Aclara for the pre-acquisition periods. The unaudited supplemental pro-forma financial information does not reflect the actual performance of Aclara in the periods presented and does not reflect the potential realization of cost savings relating to the integration of the two companies. Further, the pro-forma data should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition and related financing had been consummated on January 1, 2017, nor are they indicative of future results.
