In November 2010, the Company’s subsidiary, Socom S.A.S., purchased certain assets of CGMI, formerly called Socom S.A. (“Socom”). The purchase price was $5.2 million in cash. Socom formulates and manufactures a line of chemical anchors in France furthering the Company’s position in the construction products market in France. This factor contributed to a purchase price in excess of fair market value of Socom’s net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and as a result, the Company has recorded goodwill in connection with the transaction of $0.8 million, which is deductible for income tax purposes, and intangible assets of $1.5 million in the European segment. The weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets is 13.7 years. Net tangible assets, including machinery and equipment and inventory, accounted for the balance of the purchase price.

 

In December 2011, the Company purchased the assets, net of certain liabilities, of Fox Industries, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Fox Industries”), a manufacturer of construction products and systems for restoring, protecting and strengthening concrete. The acquisition broadens the Company’s concrete construction product line, while also extending the overall line into more commercial, industrial and infrastructure markets. The purchase price was $8.7 million. The Company recorded goodwill of $3.9 million and intangible assets subject to amortization of $2.9 million in the North American segment, which are deductible for income tax purposes. The weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets is 9.7 years. Net tangible assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, certain prepaid expenses, machinery and equipment and certain liabilities, accounted for the balance of the purchase price.

 

In December 2011, the Company purchased the assets of Automatic Stamping, LLC and Automatic Stamping Auxiliary Services, LLC, both North Carolina limited liability companies, and certain real property and improvements owned by TIMMCO, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (collectively “Automatic Stamping”). Automatic Stamping was a manufacturer of truss plates. Combined with the Company’s truss design software, its operating expertise and means of distribution, the Company plans to offer truss plates and software products to its North American customer base. The purchase price was $43.5 million. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has recorded goodwill of $29.5 million and intangible assets subject to amortization of $4.6 million in the North American segment, which is deductible for income tax purposes. The weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets is 4.8 years. Net tangible assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, land, building and machinery and equipment, accounted for the balance of the purchase price.

 

In January 2012, the Company purchased all of the shares of S&P Clever, for $58.1 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. S&P Clever manufactures and sells engineered materials to repair, strengthen and restore concrete, masonry and asphalt and has operations in Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, Poland, The Netherlands and Austria. Payments under the purchase agreement included cash payments of $57.5 million and contingent consideration of $0.6 million payable over a three-year period if sales goals are met. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has increased its presence in the infrastructure, commercial and industrial construction market in Europe. The Company’s provisional measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed included cash and cash equivalents of $6.8 million, other current assets of $10.8 million, non-current assets of $53.4 million, current liabilities of $12.6 million and non-current liabilities of $0.2 million. Included in non-current assets is goodwill of $19.9 million, which was assigned to the European segment and is not deductible for tax purposes, and intangible assets of $20.3 million, the amortization of which is not deductible for tax purposes.

 

In March 2012, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of CarbonWrap Solutions, L.L.C. (“CarbonWrap”) for $5.5 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. CarbonWrap develops fiber-reinforced polymer products primarily for infrastructure and transportation projects. Payments under the purchase agreement totaled $5.3 million in cash and contingent consideration of $0.2 million to be paid on resolution of specified post-closing contingencies to the principal officer of CarbonWrap, who is now employed by the Company. The Company’s provisional measurement included goodwill of $3.6 million, which was assigned to the North American segment and is deductible for tax purposes, and intangible assets of $1.6 million, which is subject to tax-deductible amortization. Net tangible assets consisting of accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and prepaid expenses accounted for the balance of the purchase price.

 

In December 2012, the Company completed a transaction with Keymark Enterprises LLC (“Keymark”). In 2011, the Company had purchased various software assets from Keymark and had engaged Keymark to perform certain software development for the Company, for which the Company had agreed to compensate Keymark at rates equal to a multiple of Keymark’s costs. In the current transaction, the Company paid Keymark $9.1 million, hired thirty-nine Keymark employees to perform the development work that Keymark had previously been engaged to perform and purchased from Keymark various assets needed for that work. This transaction also included termination of the 2011 software development agreement and the Company will be entitled to certain software license revenue that was previously received by Keymark. The Company’s provisional measurement of the assets acquired included intangibles of $8.9 million, which is subject to tax-deductible amortization. Equipment and prepaid expenses accounted for the balance of the purchase, which was assigned to the North American segment.

 

Under the business combinations topic of the FASB ASC, the Company accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations and ascribed acquisition-date fair values to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Provisional fair value measurements were made in the first quarter and fourth quarter of 2012 for acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Adjustments to those measurements may be made in subsequent periods, up to one year from the acquisition date, as information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. Fair value of intangible assets was based on Level 3 inputs. The Company expects the measurement process for each acquisition to be finalized within a year of its acquisition date.

 

The results of operations of the businesses acquired in 2012 are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations since the date of the acquisition. Results of operations of acquired businesses for periods prior to 2012 were not material to the Company on an individual or aggregate basis, and accordingly, pro forma results of operations have not been presented.
