Subsequent Event

Exertis

In October 2021, the Company acquired certain business assets of Stampede Presentation Products, Inc. d/b/a Exertis (“Exertis”), a global distribution company, in exchange for $39.7 million, subject to customary adjustments related to working capital. The acquisition qualifies as a business combination for accounting purposes and will support the recent acquisition of Furrion Holdings Limited ("Furrion") by allowing the Company to provide logistics and warehousing to serve Furrion's North American customer base.

Acquisitions Completed During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Furrion

In September 2021, the Company acquired 100 percent of the share capital of Furrion, a leading distributor of a large range of appliances and other products to OEMs and aftermarket customers in the RV, specialty vehicle, utility trailer, horse trailer, marine, transit bus, and school bus industries. The total fair value of consideration, net of cash acquired, was approximately $146.7 million. The Company paid $50.5 million in cash consideration at closing, net of cash acquired, with $31.3 million due on each of the first and second anniversaries of the acquisition in September 2022 and September 2023. The deferred acquisition fixed payments are recorded at their respective discounted present values in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities at September 30, 2021.

In 2019, the Company and Furrion agreed to terminate an exclusive distribution and supply agreement, and transition all sale and distribution of Furrion products then handled by the Company to Furrion. Effective January 1, 2020, Furrion took responsibility for distributing its products directly to the customer and assumed all responsibilities previously carried out by the Company relating to Furrion products. Upon termination of the agreement, Furrion purchased from the Company all non-obsolete stock and certain obsolete and slow-moving stock of Furrion products at the cost paid by the Company. At the date of the Furrion acquisition in September 2021, the Company had a receivable balance of $35.0 million and Furrion had a corresponding payable balance. In direct connection with the acquisition negotiations, the receivable and payable were
effectively settled in the acquisition and the receivable balance is included within the approximate $146.7 million of consideration transferred. No gain or loss was recognized in the effective settlement of the receivable.

The purchase price is subject to customary adjustments for cash, working capital, and indebtedness. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date, in both the Company's OEM and Aftermarket Segments. As this acquisition 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.

The Company is in the process of determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the opening balance sheet, including net working capital, leases, fixed assets, deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions, and the fair value of intangible assets. The current estimates for intangible assets are based on the Company's historical acquisitions and estimated projections for the acquired company. These estimates will be updated to the valuation when it is finalized within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). The acquisition of this business was preliminarily recorded as of the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):

Cash consideration, net of cash acquired$50,534 
Effective settlement of receivable34,956 
Discounted value of fixed deferred consideration61,191 
Total fair value of consideration given$146,681 
Identifiable intangible assets$95,000 
Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net5,811 
Tax liabilities(28,704)
Total fair value of net assets acquired$72,107 
Goodwill (not tax deductible)$74,574 

The Company incurred costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 related specifically to this acquisition of $0.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, which are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

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.

Schaudt

In April 2021, the Company acquired 100 percent of the equity interests of Schaudt GmbH Elektrotechnik & Apparatebau ("Schaudt"), a leading supplier of electronic controls and energy management systems for the European caravan industry located in Markdorf, Germany. The purchase price was approximately $29.4 million. The purchase price is subject to customary adjustments for cash, working capital, and indebtedness. 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. The Company is in the process of determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the opening balance sheet, including net working capital, fixed assets, and the fair value of intangible assets. As this acquisition 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. The acquisition of this business was preliminarily recorded as of the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):

Cash consideration, net of cash acquired$29,383 
Customer relationships$10,000 
Other identifiable intangible assets2,500 
Net tangible assets564 
Total fair value of net assets acquired$13,064 
Goodwill (not tax deductible)$16,319 

The customer relationships intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 8 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.

Ranch Hand

In April 2021, the Company acquired 100 percent of the equity interests of Kaspar Ranch Hand Equipment, LLC ("Ranch Hand"), a manufacturer of custom bumpers, grill guards, and steps for the automotive aftermarket headquartered in Shiner, Texas. The purchase price was approximately $56.9 million, plus contingent consideration up to $3.0 million. 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. The Company is in the process of determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the opening balance sheet, including the fair value of intangible assets. As this acquisition 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. The acquisition of this business was preliminarily recorded on the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):

Cash consideration, net of cash acquired$56,857 
Contingent consideration3,000 
Total fair value of consideration given$59,857 
Customer relationships$24,200 
Other identifiable intangible assets9,100 
Net tangible assets16,923 
Total fair value of net assets acquired$50,223 
Goodwill (tax deductible)$9,634 

The customer relationships intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 13 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.

Other Acquisitions in 2021

During the first nine months of 2021, the Company completed two other acquisitions totaling $17.8 million of cash purchase consideration, plus holdback payments of $2.1 million to be paid over the next two years and contingent consideration of up to $2.0 million. Holdback payments of $0.5 million were paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The preliminary purchase price allocations resulted in $8.7 million of goodwill (tax deductible) and $7.8 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets.
The accounting for these acquisitions is incomplete at September 30, 2021. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary allocations and will be finalized during the respective measurement periods, which will not exceed 12 months from the respective acquisition dates. As these acquisitions are not considered to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, pro forma results of operations and other disclosures are not presented.

Acquisitions with Measurement Period Adjustments During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Veada

In December 2020, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding capital stock of Veada Industries, Inc. ("Veada"), a manufacturer and distributor of boat seating and marine accessories based in New Paris, Indiana. The purchase price was $69.0 million, net of cash acquired, which included initial holdback payments of $12.2 million to be paid over the next two years. Holdback payments of $3.9 million were paid; these holdback payment requirements were reduced by $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to net working capital true-ups. The remaining holdback payments are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in accrued expenses and other current liabilities ($6.0 million) and other long-term liabilities ($1.8 million) at September 30, 2021. 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company adjusted the preliminary purchase price allocation reported at December 31, 2020 to account for updates to net working capital balances and assumptions and estimates related to the fair value of fixed assets and intangible assets. 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.

Challenger

In November 2020, the Company acquired substantially all of the business assets of Challenger Door, LLC ("Challenger"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of branded doors for the RV industry and products for specialty and cargo trailers, based in Nappanee, Indiana. The purchase price was $35.0 million, which included holdback payments of up to $4.5 million to be paid over the next two years. These holdback payment requirements were reduced by $1.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to net working capital true-ups. The remaining holdback payments are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in accrued expenses and other current liabilities ($1.8 million) and other long-term liabilities ($1.0 million) at September 30, 2021. 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company adjusted the preliminary purchase price allocation reported at December 31, 2020 to account for updates to net working capital balances and assumptions and estimates related to the fair value of fixed assets and intangible assets. 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 for the fair value of intangible assets as additional information is obtained within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date).
Goodwill

Goodwill by reportable segment was as follows:
