Acquisitions
The Company incurred acquisition transaction costs of $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively, related to various business acquisition activities. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company also paid $1.3 million of deferred purchase price consideration for acquisitions completed in previous periods. The Company completed three business acquisitions during fiscal 2012. All of the acquisitions resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the purchase prices reflect the future earnings and cash flow potential of these companies, as well as the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses are expected to bring to existing operations.
The Company makes an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition, based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtains this information during due diligence and through other sources. If additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), including through asset appraisals and learning more about the newly acquired business, the Company will refine its estimates of fair value.
During fiscal 2012, the Company completed two Maxima Technologies tuck-in acquisitions that further expand the geographic presence, product offerings and technologies of the Engineered Solutions segment. On July 20, 2012 the Company completed the acquisition of the stock of CrossControl AB (“CrossControl”) for $40.6 million of cash, plus potential contingent consideration. CrossControl, headquartered in Sweden, provides advanced electronic solutions for user-machine interaction, vehicle control and mobile connectivity in critical environments. On March 28, 2012 the Company acquired the stock of Turotest Medidores Ltda (“Turotest”) for $8.1 million of cash and $5.3 million of deferred purchase price. Turotest, headquartered in Brazil, designs and manufactures instrument panels and gauges for the Brazilian agriculture and industrial markets.
In addition, on February 10, 2012 the Company completed the acquisition of the stock of Jeyco Pty Ltd (“Jeyco”) for $20.7 million of cash. This Cortland (Energy segment) tuck-in acquisition, designs and provides specialized mooring, rigging and towing systems and services to the offshore oil & gas industry in Australia and other international markets. Additionally, Jeyco’s products are used in a variety of applications for other markets including cyclone mooring and marine, defense and mining tow systems.
The purchase price allocation for fiscal 2012 acquisitions resulted in the recognition of $40.7 million of goodwill (which is not deductible for tax purposes) and $32.8 million of intangible assets, including $24.2 million of customer relationships, $5.7 million of tradenames, $2.2 million of technologies and $0.7 million of non-compete agreements.
The following unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, give effect to these acquisitions as though the transactions and related financing activities had occurred on September 1, 2011 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
