Acquisitions
On August 31, 2016, the Company acquired the net assets of Industrias Partmo S.A. (Partmo) in Colombia. Partmo is a leading manufacturer of replacement air, lube and fuel filters in Colombia for medium and heavy duty engines. The total purchase price was approximately $12.1 million of which $10.9 million was paid at closing and $1.2 million will be paid in equal installments over the next three years subject to the satisfaction of certain representations and warranties. The acquisition of Partmo reinforces the Company’s commitment to growth with a company that is an excellent strategic fit with its existing engine aftermarket business. The acquisition allows the Company to leverage Partmo’s well-recognized brand of replacement filters in South America. The purchase price allocation is preliminary pending the outcome of the final valuation. Pro forma financial results are not presented as the results of the acquisition are not material to the Company’s financial results.
During the first quarter of 2017, the Company reached a $6.8 million favorable settlement of claims associated with amounts held in an escrow account that had been established in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Northern Technical, L.L.C. during the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Because this settlement was related to claims associated with general representations and warranties and occurred subsequent to one year after the closing of the acquisition, the Company recorded the impact of the $6.8 million settlement as a component of “Other income, net” in its consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended October 31, 2016.
