^(a)As previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The business combination was completed in fiscal 2017.

^(b)The Company recorded measurement period adjustments in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The measurement period adjustments related to Customer relationships, License agreements and Product formulations, collectively, of $20.8, were a result of changes in assumptions that were used at the date of acquisition for valuation purposes including allocation of costs and synergies. The measurement period adjustments related to Property, plant and equipment and Net other assets of ($16.9) and ($33.7), respectively, primarily relate to obtaining new facts and circumstances about acquired assets and liabilities that existed at the acquisition date. The decrease to Deferred tax liability, net was primarily a result of the change of the jurisdictional allocation of the tangible and intangible assets. All measurement period adjustments were offset against Goodwill.

Goodwill is primarily attributable to the anticipated company-specific synergies and economies of scale expected from the operations of the combined company. The synergies include certain cost savings, operating efficiencies, and leverage of the acquired brand recognition to be achieved as a result of the P&G Beauty Business acquisition. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill of $1,889.8, $3,188.1 and $486.0 is allocated to the Luxury, Consumer Beauty and Professional Beauty segments, respectively. The allocation of goodwill to segments was based on the relative fair values of expected future cash flows.

The Company recognized acquisition-related costs of $53.6 and $79.4 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which are included in Acquisition-related costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

ghd Acquisition

On November 21, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest of Lion/Gloria Topco Limited which held the net assets of ghd (“ghd”) which stands for “Good Hair Day”, a premium brand in high-end hair styling appliances, pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement. The ghd acquisition further strengthens the Company’s professional hair category and is included in the Professional Beauty segment’s results after the acquisition date. The total cash consideration paid net of acquired cash and cash equivalents was £430.2 million, the equivalent of $531.5, at the time of closing.

The Company estimated the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition based on information currently available. The Company is still evaluating the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed from the ghd acquisition. As the Company finalizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional purchase price adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period. The Company will reflect measurement period adjustments, if any, in the period in which the adjustments are recognized.

The following table summarizes the estimated allocation of the purchase price to the net assets of ghd as of the November 21, 2016 acquisition date:

^(b)The Company recorded measurement period adjustments in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 to account for an increase in the estimated other net working capital of $4.1 as of the November 21, 2016 acquisition date. This adjustment is offset against Goodwill.

Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies resulting from integrating ghd’s products into the Company’s existing sales channels. Goodwill of $49.0, $42.0 and $79.3 is allocated to Luxury, Consumer Beauty and Professional Beauty segments, respectively. The allocation of goodwill to the segments were due to the reduction in corporate and regional overhead allocated to these segments due to the addition of the ghd acquisition.
