Acquisitions and Divestitures

Altra Transaction

On October 26, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Altra Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Altra Industrial Motion Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Altra”), and Aspen Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, Merger Sub will merge (the “Altra Merger”) with and into Altra, with Altra surviving the Altra Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Altra Transaction”).

Pursuant to the Altra Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Altra Merger (the “Effective Time”), each of Altra’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Altra Common Stock”) (other than (i) any shares held by either the Company, Altra or Merger Sub, (ii) shares owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Altra or the Company, (iii) shares for which appraisal rights have been properly demanded according to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and (iv) restricted shares of Altra Common Stock granted under Altra’s 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan and subject to forfeiture conditions) will be converted into the right to receive $62.00 in cash, without interest (the “Altra Merger Consideration”). The Altra Merger Agreement generally provides that (1) each vested Altra stock option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and converted into a cash payment equal to the intrinsic value of such option based on the Altra Merger Consideration, (2) each unvested Altra stock option outstanding, immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be converted into an award of stock options with respect to Common Stock with an intrinsic value equivalent to the intrinsic value of the Altra stock option based on the Altra Merger Consideration, (3) each unvested Altra restricted stock unit outstanding, as of the Effective Time, that is subject solely to time-based vesting conditions will be converted into an award of restricted stock units with respect to Common Stock with an equivalent value based on the Altra Merger Consideration on substantially similar terms and conditions, (4) each unvested award of Altra restricted shares will be converted into an award of restricted cash of equivalent value based on the Altra Merger Consideration on substantially similar terms and conditions and (5) each unvested Altra restricted stock unit outstanding, as of the Effective Time, that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions will be converted into an award of time-based restricted stock with an equivalent value based on the Altra Merger Consideration on substantially similar terms and conditions (with performance goals being deemed satisfied at specified levels).

Consummation of the Altra Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions under the Altra Merger Agreement including, among others: the absence of any order issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or governmental entity, or any applicable law, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Altra Transaction; the receipt of certain specified regulatory consents, approvals and clearances under competition laws and laws governing foreign investments; accuracy of representations and warranties and compliance with covenants, subject to certain customary qualifications and exceptions; and the absence of any law or judgment resulting in the imposition of or requiring a Burdensome Condition (as defined in the Altra Merger Agreement).

The Company incurred transaction-related costs of approximately $14.7 million during fiscal 2022. These costs were associated with legal and professional services and were recognized as Operating expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. In connection with the Altra Transaction, the Company has entered into certain financing arrangements, which are described in Note 7 – Debt and Bank Credit Facilities.

Rexnord Transaction

On October 4, 2021, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 15, 2021 (the “Rexnord Merger Agreement”), the Company completed its combination with the Rexnord Process & Motion Control business (“Rexnord PMC business”) of Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation (formerly known as Rexnord Corporation) (“Zurn”) in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction (the “Rexnord Transaction”). Pursuant to the Rexnord Transaction, (i) Zurn transferred to its then-subsidiary Land Newco, Inc. (“Land”) substantially all of the assets, and Land assumed substantially all of the liabilities, of the Rexnord PMC business (the “Reorganization”), (ii) after which all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Land (“Land common stock”) held by a subsidiary of Zurn were distributed in a series of distributions to Zurn’s stockholders (the “Distributions”, and the final distribution of Land common stock from Zurn to Zurn’s stockholders, which was made pro rata for no consideration, the “Spin-Off”) and (iii) immediately after the Spin-Off, a subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Land (the “Rexnord Merger”) and all shares of Land common stock (other than those held by Zurn, Land, the Company, the Company's merger subsidiary or their respective subsidiaries) were converted as of the effective time of the Rexnord Merger (the “Effective Time”) into the right to receive 0.22296103 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (“Company common stock”), as calculated in the Rexnord Merger Agreement.

As of the Effective Time, Land, which held the Rexnord PMC business, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the Rexnord Merger, the Company issued approximately 27,055,945 shares of Company common stock to holders of Land common stock, which represents approximately 39.9% of the approximately 67,756,732 outstanding shares of Company common stock immediately following the Effective Time. In addition, holders of record of Company common stock as of October 1, 2021 received $6.99 per share of Company common stock pursuant to a previously announced special dividend in connection with the Rexnord Transaction (the “Special Dividend”).

In connection with the Rexnord Transaction, two directors designated by Zurn were appointed to the Company's Board of Directors. The current chief executive officer of the Company continued as the chief executive officer of the combined company after the Rexnord Transaction and a majority of the senior management of the Company immediately prior the consummation of the Rexnord Transaction remained executive officers of the Company immediately after the Rexnord Transaction. The Company's management determined that the Company is the accounting acquirer in the Rexnord Transaction based on the facts and circumstances noted within this section and other relevant factors. As such, the Company applied the acquisition method of accounting to the identifiable assets and liabilities of Rexnord PMC business, which have been measured at estimated fair value as of the date of the business combination.

In connection with the Rexnord Transaction, the Company has entered into certain financing arrangements, which are described in Note 7 – Debt and Bank Credit Facilities.

The tax matters agreement the Company entered into in connection with the Rexnord Transaction imposes certain restrictions on the Company, Land and Zurn during the two-year period following the Spin-Off, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to actions that could cause the Reorganization and the Distributions to fail to qualify for the intended tax treatment. As a result of these restrictions, the Company's and Land’s ability to engage in certain transactions, such as the issuance or purchase of stock or certain business combinations, may be limited.

The total consideration transferred in connection with the Rexnord Transaction was approximately $4.0 billion. The total assets and liabilities assumed were based on the final balances per the terms included within the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

The final purchase price of the Rexnord PMC business consisted of the following:

	As Reported as of January 1, 2022		Measurement period adjustments		As Reported as of December 31, 2022

(e) Represents effective settlement of outstanding payables and receivables between the Company and the Rexnord PMC business. No gain or loss was recognized on this settlement.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Rexnord PMC business’s assets and liabilities were measured at estimated fair values at October 4, 2021, primarily using Level 3 inputs. Estimates of fair value represent management’s best estimate of assumptions about future events and uncertainties, including significant judgments related to future cash flows, discount rates, competitive trends, margin and revenue growth assumptions including royalty rates and customer attrition rates and others. Inputs used were generally obtained from historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and growth rates expected as of the acquisition date.

As of December 31, 2022, the valuation process to determine the fair values of the net assets acquired during the measurement period was complete. The Company estimated the fair value of net assets acquired based on information available during the measurement period.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company made a cash payment of $35.0 million to Zurn in connection with finalizing the acquisition date trade working capital. The preliminary purchase price allocations were also adjusted by the refinement of the estimated fair value of the assets received and liabilities assumed. The cumulative impact of the adjustments during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 resulted in $26.9 million of additional goodwill.

Summary of Significant Fair Value Methods

The methods used to determine the fair value of significant identifiable assets and liabilities included in the allocation of purchase price are discussed below.

Inventories

Acquired inventory was comprised of finished goods, work in process and raw materials. The fair value of finished goods was calculated as the estimated selling price, adjusted for costs of the selling effort and a reasonable profit allowance relating to the selling effort. The fair value of work in process inventory was primarily calculated as the estimated selling price, adjusted for estimated costs to complete the manufacturing, estimated costs of the selling effort, as well as a reasonable profit margin on the remaining manufacturing and selling effort. The fair value of raw materials and supplies was determined based on replacement cost which approximates historical carrying value.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The preliminary fair value of Property, Plant, and Equipment was determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The fair value and weighted average useful life of the identifiable intangible assets are as follows:

	Fair Value		Weighted Average Useful Life (Years)
Trademarks(1)	$	225.0	10
Customer Relationships(2)	1,519.0		17
Technology(3)	87.0		12
Total Identifiable Intangible Assets	$	1,831.0

The fair value estimates for identifiable intangible assets are preliminary and are based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset.

(1) The Rexnord PMC business Trademarks were valued using the relief from royalty method, which considers both the market approach and the income approach.

(2) The fair value of Customer Relationships was valued using a multi-period excess earnings method, a form of the income approach, which incorporates the estimated future cash flows to be generated from the Rexnord PMC business's existing customer base.

(3) The Rexnord PMC business Technology were valued using the relief from royalty method, which considers both the market approach and the income approach.

The intangible assets related to definite-lived customer relationships, trademarks and technology are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which had estimated weighted-average useful lives of 17 years, 10 years and 12 years, respectively, at acquisition.

The Company believes that the amounts of purchased intangible assets recorded represent the preliminary fair values and approximates the amounts a market participant would pay for these intangible assets as of the acquisition date.

Leases, including right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities

Lease liabilities were measured as of the acquisition date at the present value of future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term and the incremental borrowing rate of the Company as if the acquired leases were new leases as of the acquisition date. ROU assets recorded within “Operating Lease Assets” are equal to the amount of the lease liability at the acquisition date adjusted for any off-market terms of the lease. The remaining lease term was based on the remaining term at the acquisition date plus any renewal or extension options that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised.

Pension and Other Post Retirement Benefits

The Rexnord PMC business recognized a pretax net liability representing the net funded status of the Rexnord PMC business’s defined-benefit pension and other postretirement benefit (“OPEB”) plans. See Note 8 for further information on the pension and OPEB arrangements.

Long-Term Debt

In connection with the Rexnord Transaction, the Company entered into certain financing arrangements as indicated in Note 7.

The fair value for long term debt was determined based on the total indebtedness as the debt consummated at the time of closing of the acquisition.

Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities

The acquisition was structured as a merger and therefore, the Company assumed the historical tax basis of the Rexnord PMC business’s assets and liabilities. The deferred income tax assets and liabilities include the expected future federal, state, and foreign tax consequences associated with temporary differences between the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the respective tax bases. Tax rates utilized in calculating deferred income taxes generally represent the enacted statutory tax rates at the effective date of the acquisition in the jurisdictions in which legal title of the underlying asset or liability resides. See Note 11 - Income Taxes for further information related to income taxes.

Noncontrolling Interests

As of the date of acquisition, the Company assumed the noncontrolling interest in two subsidiaries. The carrying values of the noncontrolling interests approximates the fair value of as of the acquisition date.

Other Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed (excluding Goodwill)

The Company utilized the carrying values, net of allowances, to value accounts receivable and accounts payable as well as other current assets and liabilities as it was determined that carrying values represented the fair value of those items at the acquisition date. With the exception of the receivable allowance to align Rexnord PMC business's reserve policy to the Company's policy, to reflect the best estimate at the acquisition date of the contractual cash flows expected to be collected

Goodwill

The excess of the consideration for the acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies and expanded market opportunities from combining the Company’s operations with those of the Rexnord PMC business. The goodwill created in the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Transaction Costs

The Company incurred transaction-related costs of approximately $4.3 million and $64.4 million during fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. These costs were associated with legal and professional services and were recognized as Operating expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.
