Fiscal 2024

Voestalpine Automotive Components Nagold GmbH & Co. KG (Voestalpine Nagold)

 

On November 16, 2023, the Company acquired Voestalpine Nagold, including its lamination stamping facility in Nagold, Germany and related assets, for net cash consideration of $21.0 million and the assumption of a $0.9 million pension liability. Voestalpine produces automotive and electrical steel lamination stampings in Europe. The total purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated primarily to tangible assets, consisting of $12.3 million of property, plant and equipment and $9.0 million of net working capital, with $0.6 million recognized as goodwill.

The information included in the preliminary allocation of the purchase price was derived using estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired. As a result of final purchase accounting adjustments, the total purchase consideration was updated. The purchase consideration consisted of $12.6 million of property, plant and equipment and $8.2 million of net working capital, with $1.1 million recognized as goodwill. Thus, the final purchase accounting adjustments consisted of $0.3 million of property, plant and equipment and $(0.8) million of net working capital, with $0.5 million to goodwill. There was no change in the valuation of the pension liability.

The purchase price includes the fair values of other assets that were not identifiable, not separately recognizable under accounting rules (e.g., assembled workforce) or of immaterial value. The purchase price also includes strategic benefits specific to the Company, which resulted in a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes.

The results of operations of Voestalpine Nagold have been included in the consolidated and combined statements of earnings since the date of acquisition. Proforma results, including the acquired business since the beginning of fiscal 2023, would not be materially different from the reported results.

Fiscal 2022

Shiloh Industries’ U.S. BlankLight®

On June 8, 2021, the Company, along with our 55% consolidated joint venture TWB, acquired certain assets of Shiloh’s U.S. BlankLight® business. The purchase price for the acquisition was cash consideration of approximately $104.5 million, after closing adjustments. The Shiloh business is being primarily operated by TWB and the operating results of the Shiloh business have been included in our consolidated and combined statements of earnings since the date of acquisition. Proforma results of the Shiloh business, including the acquired business since the beginning of fiscal 2021, would not be materially different than the reported results. Net sales and net earnings since the beginning of fiscal 2021, would not be materially different than the reported results.

Tempel Steel Company

On December 1, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Tempel, a leading global manufacturer of precision motor and transformer laminations for the electrical steel market that includes transformers, industrial motors and electric vehicle (EV) motors for cash

consideration of $272.2 million, net of cash acquired, plus the assumption of certain long-term liabilities. Total acquisition-related expenses of $1.9 million were incurred in fiscal 2022.

Operating results of Tempel have been included in the consolidated and combined statement of earnings since December 1, 2021, the date of acquisition. During fiscal 2022, Tempel contributed net sales of $278.2 million and operating income of $8.6 million, which included acquisition-related costs of approximately $1.9 million and incremental cost of goods sold of $3.8 million due to the write-up of inventory to its estimated acquisition-date fair value.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents consolidated and combined financial information for fiscal 2022 as if Tempel had been acquired at the beginning of fiscal 2021. Depreciation and amortization expense included in the pro forma results reflect the acquisition-date fair values assigned to the definite-lived intangible assets and fixed assets of Tempel assuming a June 1, 2020 acquisition date. Adjustments have been made to remove acquisition-related costs and the acquisition date fair value adjustment to acquired inventories. The pro forma adjustments noted above have been adjusted for the applicable income tax impact. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place on June 1, 2020.
