For each acquisition, we allocate the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of their respective acquisition dates. The results of operations for acquired businesses are included in our consolidated statements of income beginning on their respective acquisition dates.

We acquired several businesses for approximately $322 million, net of cash acquired, during the year ended December 31, 2023. Approximately $300 million was related to our Automotive segment and $22 million was related to Industrial. During the year we recognized approximately $389 million and $48 million of sales, net of store closures, related to our 2023 Automotive and Industrial acquisitions, respectively. We recognized approximately $219 million of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with these acquisitions. Other intangible assets acquired of $99 million consisted of customer relationships with a weighted average amortization life of 20 years.

We acquired several businesses for approximately $1.6 billion, net of cash acquired, during the year ended December 31, 2022. Approximately $1.3 billion was related to our Industrial segment, primarily the acquisition of KDG discussed further below, and $300 million was related to Automotive.

We recognized approximately $562 million of sales, net of store closures, and $239 million of goodwill and other intangible assets related to our Automotive acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2022. The other intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships of $76 million, trademarks of $9 million, and other intangibles of $4 million with weighted average amortization lives of 18, 15, and 3 years, respectively.

On January 3, 2022, the company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Motion Industries, Inc., acquired all of the equity interests in KDG for a purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion in cash, net of cash acquired of approximately $30 million. KDG contributed approximately 5% of net sales included in our consolidated statement of income from January 3, 2022 to December 31, 2022. The KDG acquisition was financed using a combination of borrowing under the existing unsecured revolving credit facility, proceeds of $200 million from the selling of additional receivables under our amended A/R Sales Agreement, and $109 million of cash.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date for the KDG acquisition as well as adjustments made when finalizing the acquisition accounting during the year ended December 31, 2022 (referred to as the "measurement period adjustments"). The measurement period adjustments primarily resulted from revisions to the valuation of inventory and intangible assets, deferred taxes, and long-term liabilities.

The other intangible assets acquired included $527 million of customer relationship intangibles and a $41 million favorable trade name licensing agreement, with amortization lives of 17 and 1.5 years, respectively. The other intangible assets have a total weighted amortization life of 16 years. We used the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach to measure KDG's customer relationships, which is sensitive to certain assumptions including discount rates and certain assumptions that form the basis for the forecasted results (e.g., future revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins). These assumptions are forward-looking in nature and are dependent on the future performance of the acquired business and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

The goodwill was assigned to the Industrial segment and is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce. Approximately $261 million of the goodwill recognized as part of the acquisition was tax deductible.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, approximately $5 million of inventory amortization step-up cost related to this acquisition was included in cost of goods sold. Further, $62 million of transaction and other one-time costs, inclusive of an impairment charge, were included in selling, administrative, and other expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Refer to the Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Footnote for more information on the impairment charge.

If the KDG acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021 and if its results of operations had been included in our consolidated results since that date, our unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income would have reflected net sales of approximately $22.1 billion and $19.9 billion and net income on a per share diluted basis of $8.47 and $6.02 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that we would have reported had the transaction actually occurred at the beginning of this period, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

The adjustments to the pro forma amounts include, but are not limited to, applying our accounting policies, amortization related to fair value adjustments to intangible assets, one-time acquisition accounting adjustments, interest expense on acquisition related debt and debt not assumed, and any associated tax effects. The pro forma results do not include any cost savings or other synergies that may result from the acquisition.

Earnings related to KDG included in our consolidated statement of income from January 3, 2022 to December 31, 2022 are impracticable to provide due to KDG’s ongoing integration into Motion, which commenced shortly after the acquisition date.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized approximately $220 million and $25 million of sales, net of store closures, related to our 2021 Automotive and Industrial acquisitions, respectively. We recognized approximately $160 million of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the 2021 acquisitions. Other intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships with a weighted average amortization life of 20 years.
