Note 2. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions

On October 1, 2021, we acquired 100% of the outstanding ownership interests of Fabri-Kal LLC, Monarch Mill Pond LLC and Pure Pulp Products LLC (collectively, “Fabri-Kal”) for a purchase price of $378 million, including final adjustments for cash, indebtedness and working capital of $2 million which was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Fabri-Kal is a U.S. manufacturer of thermoformed plastic packaging products. Its products include portion cups, lids, clamshells, drink cups and yogurt containers for the consumer packaging goods and institutional foodservice markets. The acquisition includes four manufacturing facilities in the United States. The acquisition is expected to broaden our portfolio of sustainable packaging products and expand our manufacturing capacity to better serve our customers. The acquisition was funded with our existing cash resources and a portion of the U.S. term loans Tranche B-3 incurred in September 2021.

 

The Fabri-Kal acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations were included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Included in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) are Fabri-Kal’s net revenues of $102 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

We allocated the intangible assets acquired to the Foodservice segment which included $56 million of customer relationships with an estimated life of 8 years and $34 million of definite-lived trademarks with an estimated life of 10 years. We increased the cost of acquired inventories by $12 million, all of which was expensed as a component of cost of sales during the year ended December 31, 2021. We allocated $66 million of goodwill to the Foodservice segment, of which $42 million is expected to be tax deductible. Goodwill arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities provided by Fabri-Kal’s manufacturing

capacity to better serve our customers and plant operation synergies. The purchase price allocation in the table above is preliminary and subject to the finalization of our valuation analysis.

Real property and personal property fair values were determined using the cost approach. The fair values for customer relationships at the acquisition date were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset were forecasted Adjusted EBITDA margins and contributory asset charges. Trademark fair values were determined using the relief from royalty method. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs and thus represent Level 3 inputs.

Dispositions

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we committed to a plan to sell our carton packaging and filling machinery businesses in China, Korea and Taiwan (“Beverage Merchandising Asia”) included in the Beverage Merchandising segment. As a result, we classified the assets and liabilities of Beverage Merchandising Asia as held for sale as of December 31, 2021. The operations of Beverage Merchandising Asia did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations.

On January 4, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement with SIG Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft GmbH to sell Beverage Merchandising Asia. We expect to receive proceeds from the transaction of approximately $335 million, adjusted for cash, indebtedness and working capital as of the date of completion. The transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

The carrying amounts of the major classes of Beverage Merchandising Asia’s assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 comprised the following:

Income from operations before income taxes for Beverage Merchandising Asia for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $5 million and $6 million, respectively.

On October 12, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of our equity interests in Naturepak Beverage Packaging Co. Ltd., our 50% joint venture with Naturepak Limited, to affiliates of Elopak ASA. As a result, as of December 31, 2021, we reclassified the carrying value of our interests in Naturepak Beverage Packaging Co. Ltd. to assets held for sale. The transaction closed on March 29, 2022, and we received preliminary proceeds of $47 million, which are subject to adjustments for cash, indebtedness and working capital as of the date of completion, resulting in a preliminary gain on the sale of our equity interests of $27 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 which was reflected in other income, net. Our interests in Naturepak Beverage Packaging Co. Ltd. did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations.

During the third quarter of 2020, we committed to a plan to sell the South American closures businesses included in the Other operating segment. In December 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell the businesses. On March 31, 2021, we completed the sale of the South American closures businesses for an immaterial amount and recognized a partial reversal of the initial impairment charge of $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 which was reflected in restructuring, asset

impairment and other related charges. This partial reversal was driven by a change in the carrying value of the assets held for sale as of the disposal date. The operations of the South American closures businesses did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations. The South American closures businesses’ income from operations before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was insignificant.
