2016

During 2016, the Company acquired six businesses in separate transactions for total consideration of $1,562 million, net of cash acquired. The businesses were acquired to complement and expand upon existing operations within the Engineered Systems and Fluids segments. The goodwill identified by these acquisitions reflects the benefits expected to be derived from product line expansion and operational synergies.

In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $482,445 and intangible assets of $300,042, primarily related to customer intangibles and trademarks. The goodwill is non-deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The intangible assets are being amortized over 11 to 15 years. The pro forma effects of this acquisition on the Company’s operations are disclosed in this footnote.

The Company also completed other acquisitions for total consideration of $769,493, net of cash acquired during the year. These acquisitions were completed primarily to complement and expand upon existing operations within the Fluids and Engineered Services segments. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill of $425,868 and intangible assets of $321,609, primarily consisting of customer intangibles and trademarks.

Pro Forma Information
 
The following unaudited pro forma results of operations reflect the 2016 acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2015 and the 2015 acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2014. The pro-forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred nor does it indicate future operating results. The supplemental pro forma earnings reflect adjustments to earnings from continuing operations as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings to exclude $11,439 of nonrecurring expense related to the fair value adjustments to acquisition-date inventory (after-tax) and $14,674 of acquisition-related costs (after-tax) from the year ended December 31, 2016. The supplemental pro forma earnings for the 2015 period were similarly adjusted for 2015 acquisitions charges as if incurred at the beginning of 2014. The 2016 and 2015 supplemental pro forma earnings are also adjusted to reflect the comparable impact of additional depreciation and amortization expense, net of tax, resulting from the fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets relating to 2016 and 2015 acquisitions.
