ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Acquisitions Completed During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Polyplastic

In January 2020, the Company acquired 100 percent of the equity interests of Polyplastic Group B.V. (with its subsidiaries “Polyplastic”), a premier window supplier to the caravanning industry, headquartered in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The purchase price was $95.8 million, net of cash acquired, plus contingent consideration up to $7.7 million, based on future sales by this operation. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date, primarily in the Company’s OEM Segment. As the acquisition of Polyplastic is not considered to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, pro forma results of operations and other disclosures are not presented.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company adjusted the preliminary purchase price allocation reported at June 30, 2020 to account for updates to assumptions and estimates which increased the fair value of customer relationships and other intangible assets by $10.0 million, and decreased net tangible assets, excluding pension obligations by $0.4 million. The valuations of the assumed pension plan obligations and intangible assets are still in process. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). The acquisition of this business was recorded, as updated, on the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):

Cash consideration, net of cash acquired	$	95,766
Contingent consideration	2,796
Total fair value of consideration given	$	98,562
Customer relationship and other identifiable intangible assets	$	63,626
Net tangible assets, excluding pension obligation	15,460
Unfunded pension benefit obligation	(28,665)
Total fair value of net assets acquired	$	50,421
Goodwill (not tax deductible)	$	48,141

The acquisition of Polyplastic included the assumption of two partially-funded defined benefit pension plans (the "Dutch pension plans") based in the Netherlands. The Dutch pension plans, which are qualified defined benefit pension plans, provide benefits based on years of service and average pay. The benefits earned by the employees are immediately vested. The Company funds the future obligations of the Dutch pension plans by purchasing an insurance contract from a large multi-national insurance company. Each year the Company will make premium payments to the insurance company (1) to provide for the benefit obligation of the current year of service based on each employee's age, gender, and current salary, and (2) for indexations for both active and post-active participants. The Company determines the fair value of the plan asset with the assistance of an actuary using observable inputs (Level 2), which is determined as the present value of the accrued benefits guaranteed by the insurer. The Company recorded the estimated unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Dutch pension plans in other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The key assumptions used to measure the benefit obligation at the acquisition date were a discount rate of 1.2 percent, an expected rate of return on plan assets of 1.2 percent, wage inflation of 2.0 percent, and expected indexation that conforms to the growth path established by Dutch pension law, which ranged from 0.0 percent at acquisition to 2.0 percent in 2033. The Company also recorded a deferred tax asset related to the Dutch pension plans, which is included in net tangible assets in the above table. Contributions and net periodic pension costs for the Dutch pension plans were not material for the period from the acquisition date through September 30, 2020.

The customer relationship intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 15 years. The fair value of this asset was determined using a discounted cash flow model, which is a level 3 input in the fair value hierarchy. The

consideration given was greater than the fair value of the net assets acquired, resulting in goodwill, because the Company anticipates the attainment of synergies and an increase in the markets for the acquired products.

Acquisitions with Measurement Period Adjustments During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

CURT

In December 2019, the Company acquired 100 percent of the equity interests of CURT Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (with its subsidiaries “CURT”), a leading manufacturer and distributor of branded towing products and truck accessories for the aftermarket, headquartered in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The purchase price was $336.6 million, net of cash acquired. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date, primarily in the Company’s Aftermarket Segment.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company adjusted the preliminary purchase price allocation reported at December 31, 2019 to account for updates to assumptions and estimates related to the fair value of intangible assets and inventories, and to adjust the purchase price for final net working capital balances. These measurement period adjustments would not have resulted in a material impact on the prior period results if the adjustments had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). The acquisition of this business was recorded, as updated, on the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):

	Preliminary at December 31, 2019		Measurement Period Adjustments		As Adjusted at September 30, 2020
Cash consideration, net of cash acquired	$	337,640	$	(1,053)	$	336,587
Assets Acquired
Accounts receivable	$	28,611	$	—	$	28,611
Inventories	88,765		(6,648)		82,117
Fixed assets	24,036		—		24,036
Customer relationship	112,000		(7,800)		104,200
Tradename and other identifiable intangible assets	37,705		(300)		37,405
Operating lease right-of-use assets	27,925		—		27,925
Other tangible assets	4,060		(1,550)		2,510
Liabilities Assumed
Accounts payable	(18,577)		—		(18,577)
Current portion of operating lease obligations	(5,360)		—		(5,360)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	(10,002)		—		(10,002)
Operating lease obligations	(22,565)		—		(22,565)
Deferred taxes	(31,877)		1,752		(30,125)
Total fair value of net assets acquired	$	234,721	$	(14,546)	$	220,175
Goodwill (not tax deductible)	$	102,919	$	13,493	$	116,412

The fair values of the customer relationship and tradename intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 16 years and 20 years, respectively. The fair values of these assets were determined using a discounted cash flow model, which is a level 3 input in the fair value hierarchy. The consideration given was greater than the fair value of the net assets acquired, resulting in goodwill, because the Company anticipates the attainment of synergies and an increase in the markets for the acquired products.

Lewmar Marine Ltd.

In August 2019, the Company acquired 100 percent of the equity interests of Lewmar Marine Ltd. and related entities (collectively, “Lewmar”), a supplier of leisure marine equipment, headquartered in Havant, United Kingdom. The purchase price was $43.2 million, net of cash acquired. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date in the Company’s OEM Segment and Aftermarket Segment.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company adjusted the preliminary purchase price allocation reported at December 31, 2019 to account for updates to assumptions and estimates related to the fair value of intangible assets and inventories. These measurement period adjustments would not have resulted in a material impact on the prior period results if the adjustments had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The acquisition of this business was recorded, as updated, on the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):

	Preliminary at December 31, 2019		Measurement Period Adjustments		As Adjusted at September 30, 2020
Cash consideration, net of cash acquired	$	43,224	$	—	$	43,224
Customer relationship and other identifiable intangible assets	$	19,580	$	2,170	$	21,750
Net tangible assets	3,286		(705)		2,581
Total fair value of net assets acquired	$	22,866	$	1,465	$	24,331
Goodwill (not tax deductible)	$	20,358	$	(1,465)	$	18,893

The customer relationship intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 15 years. The consideration given was greater than the fair value of the net assets acquired, resulting in goodwill, because the Company anticipates the attainment of synergies and an increase in the markets for the acquired products.

Goodwill

Goodwill by reportable segment was as follows:

(In thousands)	OEM Segment		Aftermarket Segment		Total
Net balance – December 31, 2019	$	215,620	$	135,494	$	351,114
Acquisitions – 2020	48,141		—		48,141
Measurement period adjustments	(2,251)		12,613		10,362
Foreign currency translation	3,575		(124)		3,451
Net balance – September 30, 2020	$	265,085	$	147,983	$	413,068

Goodwill represents the excess of the total consideration given in an acquisition of a business over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested at the reporting unit level for impairment annually in November, or more frequently if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist.
