3.Acquisitions

Roofing Businesses – On November 13, 2015, Headwaters acquired 100% of the equity interests in several related companies, together which comprise a stone-coated metal roofing business located in California known as Metro Roof Products. On December 3, 2015, Headwaters acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Enviroshake Inc., a Canadian company that manufactures and sells composite roofing products, primarily in the U.S. and Canada. These acquisitions are expected to expand Headwaters’ presence in the niche roofing products sector.

Combined consideration paid for the two roofing acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was approximately $57.0 million. Direct acquisition costs were not material. Results of operations are being reported within the building products segment and have been included with Headwaters’ consolidated results beginning November 13, 2015 and December 3, 2015, respectively.

Metro is a manufacturer of stone-coated metal roofing materials in the U.S., selling products with an aesthetic resemblance to tile, shake, slate, or asphalt, but which offer the strength and durability of steel. Metro sells to both distributors and contractors. Enviroshake manufactures composite roofing products that replicate the look of cedar shake, cedar shingle and slate and uses a direct distribution model to market and sell its products to customers. The acquisitions of Metro and Enviroshake increase the number of specialty niche roofing products that Headwaters provides to its core customers and is an area of continuing focus for Headwaters.

The roofing acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations in accordance with the requirements of ASC 805 Business Combinations. The following table sets forth the combined estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisitions as of the acquisition dates:


	(in thousands)
Current assets	$	7,402
Current liabilities		(1,565)
Property, plant and equipment		3,138
Intangible assets:
Customer relationships (12-year life)		3,670
Trade names (indefinite life)		4,801
Intellectual property (20-year life)		10,026
Goodwill		34,284
Long-term liabilities		(4,761)
Net assets acquired	$	56,995

The roofing acquisitions’ future growth attributable to such things as new customers, geographic presence and assembled workforce are additional assets that are not separable and which contributed to recorded goodwill, most of which is expected to be tax deductible over a 15-year period.

Synthetic Materials – On March 17, 2016, Headwaters acquired 100% of the equity interests in a synthetic gypsum processing and marketing business known as Synthetic Materials, LLC (SynMat), with operations in several locations in the Eastern U.S. This acquisition is expected to expand Headwaters’ presence in the CCP industry.

Consideration paid on the date of acquisition, net of cash acquired, was approximately $33.2 million. In addition to the net cash paid as of the acquisition date, approximately $12.0 million of liabilities have been recorded for future estimated payments, all of which are expected to be made within 12 months from the acquisition date. Direct acquisition costs were not material. Results of operations are being reported within the construction materials segment and have been included with Headwaters’ consolidated results beginning March 17, 2016.

Synthetic gypsum is used as a substitute for mined gypsum with application in the manufacture of wallboard and cement and as an agricultural soil amendment, among other uses. SynMat is a leading processor of synthetic gypsum and Headwaters expects marketing and operational synergies in the combination of Headwaters’ current CCP operations with those of SynMat.

The SynMat acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the requirements of ASC 805 Business Combinations. The following table sets forth the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, using available information and assumptions Headwaters deems to be reasonable at the current time. Headwaters is in the process of finalizing all of the estimated amounts shown below, including the third-party valuations of the fair values of the acquired intangible assets; therefore, the provisional measurements shown in the table are subject to change.

The process of identifying and valuing the intangible assets that were acquired has not been completed. When those intangible assets have been identified and valued, and estimated useful lives are determined, amortization of the intangible assets will be adjusted effective as of the acquisition date. Future growth attributable to such things as new customers, geographic presence and assembled workforce are additional assets that are not separable and which contributed to recorded goodwill, all of which is expected to be tax deductible over a 15-year period.

Krestmark — On August 19, 2016, Headwaters acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Krestmark Industries, L.P. Krestmark is a Texas-based business that manufactures and sells high quality vinyl windows in the U.S. Krestmark’s branded window products are sold to a diverse customer base of homebuilders, lumber yards, and distributors. This acquisition is a natural extension of Headwaters’ focus on supplying customers and homeowners with attractive products for the exterior of the home. Krestmark’s results of operations are being reported within the building products segment and have been included with Headwaters’ consolidated results beginning August 20, 2016.

Total consideration paid on the date of acquisition, was $240.0 million, which is subject to adjustment for the final calculation of acquisition-date working capital. The working capital adjustment is currently expected to be finalized in the March 2017 quarter. Approximately $4.6 million of the initial consideration paid represents prepaid compensation for certain Krestmark employees with retention bonus obligations over periods of up to two years from the acquisition date. This amount has been recorded as prepaid compensation in the consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized to expense over the two-year retention period. Direct acquisition costs were not material.

The Krestmark acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the requirements of ASC 805 Business Combinations. The following table sets forth the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, using available information and assumptions Headwaters deems to be reasonable at the current time. Headwaters is in the process of finalizing all of the estimated amounts shown below, including the third-party valuations of the fair values of the acquired intangible assets; therefore, the provisional measurements shown in the table are subject to change. The table does not include any amounts for the prepaid compensation described above.

The process of identifying and valuing the intangible assets that were acquired is in the early stages and has not been completed. When those intangible assets have been identified and valued, and estimated useful lives are determined, amortization of the intangible assets will be adjusted effective as of the acquisition date. Future growth attributable to such things as new customers, geographic presence and assembled workforce are additional assets that are not separable and which contributed to recorded goodwill, substantially all of which is expected to be tax deductible over a 15-year period.

Other – During the March 2016 quarter, Headwaters acquired certain decking manufacturing assets for cash consideration of approximately $6.3 million. The assets have been relocated to one of Headwaters’ current manufacturing sites. This acquisition provides an opportunity to expand distribution to existing customers, develop additional decking related products, and increase Headwaters’ product and manufacturing expertise. During the June 2016 quarter, Headwaters’ minority-owned subsidiary acquired for cash consideration of $10.4 million all of the equity interests in several related companies, together which comprise a concrete roof tile business which had operations primarily in Florida. This acquisition is expected to expand Headwaters’ presence in that niche roofing sector in Florida. Certain assets acquired in this acquisition are being held for sale and while provisional estimated values have been ascribed to those assets, at the current time there is significant uncertainty regarding the fair values of the assets. Accordingly, those provisional values could change in the future when final determinations of fair value for purchase accounting purposes have been completed. Gains on assets held for sale of approximately $4.5 million, net of $2.0 million of income taxes, were recognized in other income in Headwaters’ consolidated statement of income for the year ended September 30, 2016 and it is currently expected that additional gains could be realized in future periods as future sales transactions are consummated.

Subsequent to December 31, 2016, Headwaters acquired all of the equity interests in a small windows company located in the Atlanta area.

Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiary – In fiscal 2014, Headwaters acquired 80% of the equity interests of Entegra, and the non-controlling owners have the right to require Headwaters to acquire the non-controlling 20% equity interest. This put right is not deemed to be a freestanding financial instrument and because it is not solely within the control of Headwaters, the non-controlling interest does not qualify as permanent equity and has been reported outside the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet as temporary, or mezzanine, equity. The value of the non-controlling interest was affected by the lack of control as well as the estimated fair values of the put and call rights.

Because there is no fixed redemption date for the put right, Headwaters compares the carrying value of the non-controlling interest to its estimated redemption value. The estimated redemption value is calculated based on a prescribed EBITDA formula to determine the price that would be paid if the put right were to have been exercised at the end of the reporting period. If applicable, the carrying amount is increased, but not decreased, to the estimated redemption value. The following table summarizes the activity of the non-controlling interest during the three months ended December 31, 2016:


	(in thousands)
Balance as of September 30, 2016		13,363
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest		161
Dividends paid to non-controlling interest		—
Balance as of December 31, 2016	$	13,524
