Acquisitions and Dispositions
2. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS: On January 20, 2017, Nucor used cash on hand to acquire Republic Conduit (Republic) for a purchase price of $331.6 million. Republic produces steel electrical conduit primarily used to protect and route electrical wiring in various nonresidential structures such as hospitals, office buildings and stadiums. With its two facilities located in Kentucky and Georgia, Republic’s annual shipment volume has averaged 146,000 tons during the past two years. This acquisition not only further expands Nucor’s product portfolio to include steel electrical conduit but the Company also believes it will be an important, value-added channel to market for Nucor’s sheet mills. Republic’s financial results are included as part of the steel mills segment (see Note 18).

We have allocated the purchase price for Republic 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 Republic as of the date of acquisition (in thousands):

The goodwill of $115.6 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 6). Goodwill recognized for tax purposes was $118.6 million, all of which is deductible for tax purposes.

Other acquisitions, exclusive of purchase price adjustments of acquisitions made and net of cash acquired, totaled $150.8 million in the first six months of 2017 (none in the first six months of 2016). Included in the 2017 amount is the January 9, 2017 acquisition of Southland Tube (Southland). Nucor used cash on hand to acquire Southland for a purchase price of approximately $130 million. Southland is a manufacturer of hollow structural section tubing, which is primarily used in nonresidential construction markets. Southland had shipments of approximately 240,000 tons in 2016 and has one manufacturing facility in Birmingham, Alabama.
