CFS Acquisition

On October 12, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Downstream Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company which does business as Critical Flow Solutions (“Downstream” or “CFS”), Downstream Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of the Company, and Sun Downstream, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, to acquire all of the outstanding units of Downstream.

The consideration payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement is $195.0 million, subject to (i) up to an additional $15.0 million payable pursuant to an earn-out relating to achievement of specified business performance targets by the acquired business in the twelve month period ended September 30, 2017, (ii) increase or decrease based on deviation, subject to certain limitations, from a working capital target, (iii) decrease for indebtedness and certain transaction expenses of CFS, (iv) increase for the amount of CFS cash as of the closing, and (v) a potential increase for certain transaction related tax benefits, net of certain adjustments, if and when realized by the Company. The total consideration paid at closing on October 13, 2016 was approximately $198.0 million in cash, net of cash acquired and including amounts paid at closing for estimated adjustments for CFS working capital, the repayment of CFS outstanding indebtedness and payment of certain transaction expenses. The Company funded the purchase price and payments at closing from borrowings under the Company’s existing credit agreement.

The estimated undiscounted range of outcomes for the contingent consideration will be in the range of zero to $15.0 million. If the minimum target is met, $7.5 million will be earned. The estimated fair value of the earn-out as of the acquisition date and as of December 31, 2016 was $12.2 million, based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo model calculates the probability of satisfying the target conditions stipulated in the award. Based on actual performance, the Company revised its forecasts during the three months ended April 2, 2017. Under the revised forecasts, the estimated fair value of the earn-out as of April 2, 2017 was $9.7 million. The change in fair value of $2.5 million was recorded within special and restructuring (recoveries) charges, net as a gain during the the three months ended April 2, 2017. The Company will continue to assess the probability that the targets will be met by September 30, 2017 and at what level, and any subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of the liability will be reflected in earnings until the liability is fully settled.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company received $1.5 million as settlement for working capital adjustments. This reduction of purchase price was recorded as a reduction of goodwill.

The operating results of CFS have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition and reported within the Energy segment. The results for the quarter ended April 2, 2017 include $22.5 million of net revenue, and $1.5 million of operating income including $1.2 million of intangible amortization expense.

The purchase price allocation is based upon a preliminary valuation of assets and liabilities that was prepared with assistance from a third party valuation specialist. The estimates and assumptions, including for the contingent consideration, are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The purchase accounting is expected to be finalized in the third quarter of 2017. The assets and liabilities pending finalization include the valuation of acquired intangible assets, certain operating liabilities, and the evaluation of deferred income taxes. Differences between the preliminary and final valuation could have a material impact on our future results of operations and financial position.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, at the date of acquisition:

(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	6,603
Accounts receivable	28,128
Unbilled receivable	10,786
Inventory	18,701
Prepaid and other current assets	4,380
Property, plant and equipment	21,090
Identifiable intangible assets	101,600
Accounts payable	(11,655		)
Accrued and other expenses	(8,576		)
Deferred revenue	(3,997		)
Deferred income taxes	(42,660		)
Total identifiable net assets	$	124,400
Goodwill	91,634
Total purchase price	$	216,034

The fair value of accounts receivable acquired approximates the contractual value of $28.1 million. The excess of purchase price paid over the fair value of CFS' net assets was recorded to goodwill, which is primarily attributable to projected future profitable growth, market penetration, as well as an expanded customer base for the Energy segment. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The CFS acquisition resulted in the identification of the following identifiable intangible assets:

	Intangible assets acquired (in thousands)		Weighted average amortization period (in years)
Customer relationship	$	49,600	14
Existing technology	25,800		10
Trade name	24,100		Indefinite
Aftermarket backlog	2,100		1
Total intangible assets	$	101,600

The fair value of the intangible assets was based on variations of the income approach, which estimates fair value based on the present value of cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. These approaches included the relief-from-royalty method, incremental cash flow method, multi-period excess earnings method and direct cash flow method, depending on the intangible asset being valued. Customer relationships, aftermarket backlog, and existing technology are amortized on a cash flow basis which reflects the economic benefit consumed. The trade name was assigned an indefinite life based on the Company’s intention to keep the DeltaValve and TapcoEnpro names for an indefinite period of time. Refer to Note 5 for future expected amortization to be recorded.
