Business Combinations

Billie Inc.

On November 29, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Billie (the “Acquisition”) for cash consideration of $308.8, net of cash acquired and subject to certain post-closing adjustments. As a result of the Acquisition, Billie became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company accounted for the Acquisition utilizing the acquisition method of accounting, which requires assets and liabilities to be recognized based on estimates of their acquisition date fair values. The determination of the values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including goodwill, other intangible assets and deferred taxes, requires significant judgement. The purchase price allocation remains preliminary, as certain information is not yet available. This includes, but is not limited to, the finalization of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, including the completion of intangible asset valuations. Additionally, tax returns and analyses required to calculate the underlying tax basis of the Acquisition’s assets, liabilities and net operating losses have not been finalized. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation during the 12-month period following the acquisition date, during which time the value of the assets and liabilities may be revised as appropriate.

The Company used variations of the income approach in determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the Acquisition. Specifically, we utilized the multi-period excess earnings method to determine the fair value of the definite lived customer relationships acquired and the relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of the definite lived trade name acquired. Our determination of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, discount rates, customer attrition rates, and royalty rates. Edgewell believes that the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates that marketplace participants would use.

The following table provides the preliminary allocation of the purchase price related to the Acquisition based upon the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed:


Current assets	16.9
Goodwill	181.0
Intangible assets	136.0
Other assets, including property, plant and equipment, net	3.2
Current liabilities	(6.8)
Deferred tax liabilities	(21.5)
	$	308.8

The acquired goodwill represented the value of expansion into new markets and channels of trade and is not deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets acquired consisted primarily of the Billie trade name and customer relationships with a weighted average useful life of 19 years. All assets are included in the Company’s Wet Shave segment.

Billie contributed Net sales and a Loss before income taxes totaling $8.9 and $1.1, respectively, for the post acquisition period ending December 31, 2021 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The Loss before income taxes was driven primarily by amortization expense of acquired intangible assets. Acquisition and integration costs related to Billie totaling $5.7 were included in Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) and acquisition costs of $0.3 were included in Cost of products sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

The following summarizes the company's unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as though the Acquisition occurred on October 1, 2020:


	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
Proforma net sales	$	473.3	$	467.3
Proforma net earnings	14.8		10.2

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations were adjusted by pre-tax amortization expense of $1.3 and $2.2 for the three months ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. Additionally, pro forma earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2021, exclude $6.0 of pre-tax acquisition costs which were included in the pro forma earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The pro forma earnings were also adjusted to reflect the capital structure as of the acquisition date and all pro forma adjustments have been included with related tax effects. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations is not necessarily indicative of the results obtained had the Acquisition occurred as of the beginning of fiscal 2021, or of those results that may be obtained in the future. Amounts do not reflect any anticipated cost savings or cross-selling opportunities expected to result from the Acquisition.
