Note 11—Acquisitions

On January 30, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement by and between the Company and Carlisle Companies Incorporated (“Carlisle”), agreeing to acquire the CIT business of Carlisle for an aggregate purchase price of $2,025 in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2024 and is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The Company expects to finance the CIT acquisition through a combination of the net proceeds from the New Senior Notes, as discussed in Note 4 herein, together with a combination of cash on hand and other debt financing, which could include borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and/or U.S. Commercial Paper Program. CIT, headquartered in St. Augustine, FL, is a leading global supplier of harsh environment interconnect solutions, primarily to the commercial aerospace, defense and industrial end markets. CIT’s wide range of products include wire and cable, cable assemblies, contacts, connectors and sensors, which, management believes, are highly complementary to Amphenol’s existing interconnect and sensor solutions. If and when the acquisition is consummated, the Company expects to report the CIT business within its Harsh Environment Solutions segment.

2023 Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed 10 acquisitions (the “2023 Acquisitions”) for approximately $970.4, net of cash acquired. Five of the acquisitions have been included in the Harsh Environment Solutions segment, three acquisitions have been included in the Interconnect and Sensor Systems segment, and two acquisitions have been included in the Communications Solutions segment. The 2023 Acquisitions were each funded using cash on hand or borrowings under our Commercial Paper Programs, or a combination thereof. One of the 2023 Acquisitions, which closed in the second quarter of 2023, represented a bargain purchase, where the estimated fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, exceeded the purchase price. The Company recognized a non-cash gain of $5.4 on the bargain purchase acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2023, which was recorded separately in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

As of March 31, 2024, the 2023 Acquisitions resulted in the recognition of $658.8 of goodwill and $153.2 of definite-lived intangible assets, comprised of customer relationships, proprietary technology and acquired backlog, with the remainder of the purchase price being allocated to other identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed. These definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized based upon the underlying pattern of economic benefit as reflected by the future net cash inflows, with the acquired customer relationships and proprietary technology having useful lives ranging from 6 to 12 years and the acquired backlog having a useful life of approximately 0.25 years. The excess purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, which primarily represents the value of the assembled workforce along with other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Company expects that approximately $165 of the goodwill recognized from the 2023 Acquisitions will be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company completed the acquisition accounting, including the analyses of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, for one of the 2023 Acquisitions, and its final assessment of values did not differ materially from its previous preliminary assessment. The Company is in the process of analyzing and completing the allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for each of the other 2023 Acquisitions. Since the current purchase price allocations for such other acquisitions are based on preliminary assessments made by management as of March 31, 2024, the acquisition accounting is subject to final adjustments, and it is possible that the final assessments of values may differ from our preliminary assessments. The operating results of the 2023 Acquisitions were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. Pro forma financial information, as well as further details regarding the purchase price allocations related to these acquisitions, were not presented, since the 2023 Acquisitions were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial results.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred $5.4 ($4.0 after-tax) of acquisition-related expenses, comprised of the amortization related to the value associated with acquired backlog resulting from an

acquisition that closed in the first quarter of 2023. Such acquisition-related expenses are presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
