Acquisitions

Diversified Silicone Products

On January 6, 2017, we acquired the principal operating assets of Diversified Silicone Products, Inc. (“DSP”), pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, DSP and the principal shareholders of DSP (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of DSP for a total purchase price of approximately $60.2 million.

We used borrowings of $30.0 million under our credit facility in addition to cash on hand to fund the acquisition.

DSP is a custom silicone product development and manufacturing business and expands the portfolio of Rogers’ Elastomeric Material Solutions business (“EMS”) in cellular sponge and specialty extruded silicone profile technologies, while strengthening existing expertise in precision-calendered silicone and silicone formulating and compounding.

The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with applicable purchase accounting guidance. On a preliminary basis, we recorded goodwill primarily related to the expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce. We also recorded intangible assets related to acquired customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks, and a covenant not to compete. As of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, the final purchase accounting and purchase price allocation for the DSP acquisition are substantially complete, however, we continue to refine our preliminary valuation of certain acquired assets. Goodwill is subject to change based on the finalization of acquisition accounting. The following table represents the preliminary fair market values assigned to the acquired assets and liabilities in the transaction:



(Dollars in thousands)	January 6, 2017
Assets:
Accounts receivable	$	2,724
Prepaid expenses	21
Inventory	2,433
Property, plant & equipment	1,589
Intangible assets	35,860
Goodwill	17,793
Total assets	60,420

Liabilities:
Accounts payable	179
Accrued expenses	50
Total liabilities	229

Fair value of net assets acquired	$	60,191

The intangible assets consists of customer relationships valued at $30.5 million, developed technology valued at $1.8 million, trademarks valued at $3.3 million, and a covenant to not compete valued at $0.3 million. The fair value of acquired identified intangible assets was determined by applying the income approach, using several significant unobservable inputs for projected cash flows and a discount rate. These inputs are considered Level 3 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance.

The weighted average amortization period for the intangible asset classes are 11.8 years for customer relationships, 4.3 years for developed technology, 11.7 years for trademarks, and 4.1 years for a covenant not to compete, resulting in amortization expenses ranging from $1.1 million to $2.0 million annually. The estimated annual future amortization expense is $1.5 million for the remainder of 2017, $1.9 million for 2018, and $1.8 million for 2019, 2020, and 2021.

During the first quarter of 2017, we incurred transaction costs of $0.5 million, which were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The results of DSP have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements only for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on January 6, 2017, through March 31, 2017. DSP’s net sales for this period totaled $5.5 million.
