The Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their preliminary estimated fair values. Intangibles were valued primarily using a discounted cash flow, which included estimated revenue growth and discount rate. Due to the complexity of this transaction as of September 27, 2019, the Company had not finalized the determination of the fair values allocated to various assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to, inventory; deferred tax assets and liabilities; intangible assets and the residual amount allocated to goodwill. The fair value assigned to goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies. The goodwill related to the Direct Conversion acquisition is not tax deductible.

Acquisition of PerkinElmer’s Medical Imaging Business
On May 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of the medical imaging business (“Acquired Detector Business”) of PerkinElmer, Inc. (“PKI”) for $277.4 million, or $273.2 million after post-closing working capital adjustments. The acquisition consisted of PerkinElmer Medical Holdings, Inc. and Dexela Limited, together with certain assets of PKI and its direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to digital flat panel X-ray detectors that serve as components for industrial, medical, dental and veterinary X-ray imaging systems. The Acquired Detector Business included about 280 employees, with operations in Santa Clara, California as well as operations in Germany, the Netherlands, China and the United Kingdom. The acquisition of the Acquired Detector Business was pursuant to the Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated December 21, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between PKI and Varian and the subsequent Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated January 27, 2017, by and between Varian and Varex, pursuant to which Varian assigned and conveyed all of its rights, obligations, title and interest in the Purchase Agreement to Varex.

The fair value assigned to goodwill is attributable to expected cost synergy opportunities. Included in the goodwill recorded for the Acquired Detector Business is approximately $35 million that will be deductible for income tax purposes in Germany, China and the Netherlands. The remaining goodwill related to the stock acquisition in the United States is not tax deductible. Also, as a result of the acquisition, non-current deferred income tax liability increased by approximately $31 million related to basis differences for both tangible and intangible assets acquired as part of the stock purchases in the United States and the United Kingdom, and asset purchases in Germany, the Netherlands and China.
