Acquisition of Additional Interest in NJSM

On October 27, 2023, Nucor used cash on hand to acquire an additional 1% equity interest in NJSM bringing our total equity ownership to a 51% controlling interest. We believe this acquisition allows NJSM to benefit from Nucor's galvanized sheet sales expertise in North America.

Prior to this transaction, we accounted for our 50% ownership in NJSM under the equity method. As part of the purchase price allocation for this step acquisition, we remeasured our previously held interest as of the acquisition date which resulted in a $21.0 million loss recorded in marketing, administrative and other expenses. Neither our previously held equity interest in NJSM nor the loss on remeasuring the equity interest are material to our financial statements.

We allocated the purchase price for NJSM to its individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. While the purchase price allocation is substantially complete, it is still preliminary and subject to change.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of NJSM, as well as the fair value of the 49% noncontrolling interest not acquired by Nucor, as of October 27, 2023, the date of acquisition (in thousands):

The determination of the fair value of noncontrolling interest was calculated using the implied value of 100% of the enterprise value as the purchase price included an immaterial implied control premium on a per-share basis and the noncontrolling interest shareholder will benefit from the transaction and participate in the economic benefits of NJSM after the acquisition.

The NJSM financial results were included as part of the steel mills segment (see Note 22) beginning on October 27, 2023, the acquisition date. Pro-forma results of operations for the Company would not be materially different as a result of the acquisition of NJSM and, therefore, this information is not presented.

Acquisition of C.H.I.

On June 24, 2022, Nucor used cash on hand to acquire the assets of C.H.I. for a purchase price, net of cash acquired, of approximately $3.00 billion. C.H.I. is a leading manufacturer of overhead doors for residential and commercial markets in the United States and Canada. Commercial overhead doors are used in warehousing and retail, areas that Nucor has focused its attention on recently through other value-added products such as insulated metal panels (CENTRIA, Metl-Span and TrueCore brands) and steel racking solutions (Nucor Warehouse Systems). It is expected that the C.H.I. acquisition also will benefit from Nucor’s recent paint line investments at its Hickman, Arkansas and Crawfordsville, Indiana sheet mills. The C.H.I. financial results are included as part of the steel products segment (see Note 22) beginning on June 24, 2022, the date Nucor acquired it.

We allocated the purchase price for C.H.I. to its individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of C.H.I. as of June 24, 2022, the date of acquisition (in thousands):

The goodwill of $1.04 billion is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and has been allocated to the steel products segment (see Note 8). The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies within the steel products segment. Goodwill recognized for tax purposes was $5.6 million, all of which is deductible for tax purposes. Pro-forma results of operations for the Company would not be materially different as a result of the acquisition of C.H.I. and, therefore, this information is not presented.

Acquisition of CSI

On February 1, 2022, Nucor used cash on hand to acquire a 51% controlling ownership position in CSI by purchasing a 50% equity interest from a subsidiary of Vale S.A. for a cash purchase price of approximately $400.0 million, adjusted for net debt and working capital at closing, as well as a 1% equity interest from JFE Steel Corporation. CSI is a flat-rolled steel converter located in California with the capability to produce more than two million tons of finished steel and steel products annually. The company has five product lines, including hot rolled, pickled and oiled, cold rolled, galvanized and electric resistance welded (“ERW”) pipe. Key end-use markets served by CSI include customers in the construction, service center and energy industries. We believe this acquisition helps give Nucor a strong presence in the Western region of the United States and grows our ability to produce a wide range of value-added sheet products. The CSI financial results were included as part of the steel mills segment (see Note 22) beginning on February 1, 2022, the date Nucor acquired its 51% controlling ownership position.

We allocated the purchase price for CSI to its individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation is complete.

The following table summarizes the fair values of 100% of the assets and liabilities of CSI, as well as the fair value of the 49% noncontrolling interest not acquired by Nucor, as of February 1, 2022, the date Nucor acquired its 51% controlling ownership position (in thousands):

The determination of the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was calculated using the implied value of 100% of the enterprise value of the business using the purchase price as the purchase price did not include a control premium on a per-share basis and the noncontrolling interest shareholder will participate equally in the economic benefits of CSI after the acquisition.

The goodwill of $62.0 million is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and has been allocated to the steel mills segment (see Note 8). The goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce acquired, expanding our Western United States presence and CSI’s value-added product capabilities. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Pro-forma results of operations for the Company would not be materially different as a result of the acquisition of CSI and, therefore, this information is not presented.

Acquisition of IMP Business of Cornerstone

On August 9, 2021, Nucor used cash on hand to acquire the assets of the insulated metal panels, or, IMP, business of Cornerstone Building Brands, Inc. (“Cornerstone”) for a purchase price of $1.00 billion. The Company believes this acquisition will broaden the value-added solutions that Nucor Buildings group provides to targeted end markets such as warehousing, distribution and data centers. We expect these end-use markets to continue to grow in the coming years and that the use of IMP products within them will also increase. IMPs facilitate cost-effective climate control in the built environment and reduce energy usage and overall operations-related GHG emissions for owners and lessees. The acquired IMP business is comprised of two industry leading brands, CENTRIA and Metl-Span, and has seven manufacturing facilities located throughout North America, complementing Nucor’s existing IMP business, TrueCore, LLC. The IMP business financial results are included as part of the steel products segment (see Note 22) beginning on August 9, 2021, the date Nucor acquired it.

We have allocated the purchase price for the IMP business to its individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The goodwill of $480.2 million is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and has been allocated to the steel products segment (see Note 8). The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies within the steel products segment. Goodwill recognized for tax purposes was $480.2 million, all of which is deductible for tax purposes. Pro-forma results of operations for the Company would not be materially different as a result of the acquisition of the IMP business and, therefore, this information is not presented.

Acquisition of Hannibal

On August 20, 2021, Nucor used cash on hand to acquire Hannibal for a purchase price of $370.0 million. Nucor purchased 100% of Hannibal's outstanding shares from its Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Hannibal is a leading national provider of steel racking solutions to warehouses. We expect that Hannibal’s business, serving customers in the e-commerce, industrial, food storage and retail segments, will also continue to grow in the coming years. Hannibal has manufacturing facilities in Los Angeles and Houston, as well as three distribution centers. Hannibal’s financial results are included as part of the steel products segment (see Note 22) beginning on August 20, 2021, the date Nucor acquired it.

We have allocated the purchase price for Hannibal to its individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The goodwill of $84.9 million is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and has been allocated to the steel products segment (see Note 8). The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies within the steel products segment. Goodwill recognized for tax purposes was $84.9 million, all of which is deductible for tax purposes. Pro-forma results of operations for the Company would not be materially different as a result of the acquisition of Hannibal and, therefore, this information is not presented.

Other Acquisitions

Other smaller acquisitions, exclusive of purchase price adjustments made and net of cash acquired, totaled approximately $70.8 million, $169.6 million and $134.8 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Pro-forma results of operations for the Company would not be materially different if the aggregate acquisitions made during 2023, 2022 and 2021 were included and, therefore, this information is not presented.
