Effective January 1, 2017, during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the company completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Regnerbau Calw GmbH ("Perrot"), a privately held manufacturer of professional irrigation equipment. The addition of these products broadens and strengthens the company's irrigation solutions for the sport, agricultural, and industrial markets. The acquisition was funded with existing foreign cash and cash equivalents.

As of May 5, 2017, the company has not yet finalized the purchase accounting for the acquisition, but expects to finalize such purchase accounting in fiscal 2017. This acquisition was immaterial based on the company's consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
