In February 2015, the Company acquired TherMark Holdings, Inc., a leader in laser marking technology, for a cash purchase price of $5.5 million. The Company recorded $4.6 million of amortizable intangible assets, $2.5 million of goodwill, $1.7 million of a deferred tax liability related to the amortizable intangible assets, and $0.1 million of net working capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2015.

In December 2014, Ferro Coatings Italy S.R.L., a 100% owned subsidiary of Ferro, acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares and voting interest of Vetriceramici S.p.A. (“Vetriceramici”) for a purchase price of €87.2 million in cash, or $108.9 million, based on the exchange rate on the closing date of December 1, 2014. Vetriceramici is an Italian manufacturing, marketing and distribution group that offers a range of products to its customers for the production of ceramic tiles, with some diversification in the glass sector. We expect to achieve synergies and cost reductions by eliminating redundant processes and facilities. The results of operations for this business have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

The information included herein has been prepared based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price using estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which were determined with the assistance of third parties who performed independent valuations using discounted cash flow and comparative market approaches and estimates made by management. As of June 30, 2015, the purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment until all information is fully evaluated by the Company.

Net working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities, and includes an estimate of potential transactional adjustments.

The estimated fair value of the receivables acquired is $26.0 million, with a gross contractual amount of $27.0 million. The Company preliminarily recorded acquired intangible assets subject to amortization of $37.9 million, which is comprised of $27.8 million of customer relationships and $10.1 million of technology/know-how, which will be amortized over 20 and 10 years, respectively. The Company preliminarily recorded acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets of $4.2 million related to trade names and trademarks.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the acquisition and is a result of anticipated synergies. Goodwill has been allocated to the Performance Coatings and Performance Colors and Glass segments of $31.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

In July 2014, the Company acquired certain commercial assets of a reseller of our porcelain enamel products in Turkey for a cash purchase price of $6.7 million, which is recorded in Intangible assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets.
