Acquisitions
In December 2014, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Saet S.p.A. (“Saet”) for $22.1 million in cash. Saet is a leader in the design, manufacturing and testing of induction heating equipment and heat treat solutions through its locations in Italy, China, India and Tennessee. The financial results of Saet are included in the Company's Engineered Products segment from the date of acquisition. Saet's sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 were approximately $35.9 million.
The acquisition of Saet was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The entire purchase price allocation for Saet is preliminary. At December 31, 2014, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been preliminarily estimated based on their carrying values and the excess consideration of $23.2 million has been preliminarily recorded as goodwill due to the proximity of the acquisition to the year-end date and pending finalization of the fair value. These preliminary estimates will be revised during the measurement period in 2015 as all pertinent information regarding finalization of the third-party valuations for inventories, intangible assets, goodwill, tangible assets, other liabilities and deferred income tax assets and liabilities acquired are fully evaluated by the Company.
In October 2014, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Autoform Tool and Manufacturing (“Autoform”) for a total purchase consideration of $48.9 million in cash. The acquisition was funded from borrowings under the revolving credit facility provided by the Credit Agreement. Autoform is a supplier of high end pressure fuel lines used in gasoline direct injection systems across a large number of engine platforms. Autoform's production facilities are located in Indiana. The financial results of Autoform are included in the Company's Assembly Components segment from the date of acquisition. Autoform generated approximately $36.8 million of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013.
In June 2014, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Apollo Aerospace Group (“Apollo”) for $6.5 million, net of cash acquired. Apollo is a supply chain management company providing Class C production components and supply chain solutions to aerospace customers worldwide. Apollo generated net sales of approximately $8.1 million for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The financial results of Apollo are included in the Company's Supply Technologies segment from the date of acquisition.
The acquisitions of Autoform and Apollo were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price allocations were preliminary as of December 31, 2014. The Apollo purchase agreement provides payment of contingent consideration of approximately $2.4 million based on achievement of certain EBITDA targets over two years. The fair value of the earn-out was approximately $1.1 million at the date of the acquisition for a total purchase consideration of $6.5 million. On the acquisition date, a liability was recognized for the estimate of the acquisition date fair value of the earn-out. Any change in the fair value of the earn-out subsequent to the acquisition date will be recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses. Management's valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed for these acquisitions is based on estimates and assumptions. The purchase price allocation relating to these acquisitions is subject to further adjustment until all pertinent information regarding finalization of the appraisals for intangibles, goodwill and deferred income tax assets and liabilities acquired are fully evaluated by the Company and independent valuations are complete. Revisions to these estimates as fair values are finalized will be reflected in the financial statements throughout the measurement period. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation for these acquisitions, goodwill of $5.7 million was recorded.
In November 2013, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of QEF Global Limited (“QEF”).
