Acquisitions in 2022

Way

In November 2022, the Company acquired substantially all of the business assets of Way Interglobal Network LLC ("Way"), a distributor of innovative appliances and electronics to OEMs in the RV industry. The purchase price was $54.8 million, which includes a holdback payment of 2.0 million due on the first anniversary of the acquisition in November 2023. The holdback payment is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in accrued expenses and other current liabilities at December 31, 2022. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date, primarily in the Company's OEM Segment. As the operations of this acquisition 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.

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, deferred taxes, and the fair value of intangible assets. The current estimates for intangible assets are based on a preliminary valuation and these estimates are subject to change when the valuation 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$52,761 
Fixed deferred consideration2,000 
Total fair value of consideration given$54,761 
Identifiable intangible assets$13,000 
Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net36,783 
Total fair value of net assets acquired$49,783 
Goodwill (tax deductible)$4,978 

The consideration given was greater than the fair value of the net assets acquired, resulting in goodwill.

Girard

In March 2022, the Company acquired substantially all of the business assets of Girard Systems and Girard Products LLC (collectively "Girard"), a manufacturer and distributor of proprietary awnings and tankless water heaters for OEMs and aftermarket customers in the RV, specialty vehicle, and related industries. The total fair value of consideration was approximately $70.7 million. The Company paid $50.0 million in cash consideration at closing, with fixed deferred consideration of $20.0 million paid in July 2022 and $0.7 million paid to true up net working capital in September 2022. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date, in both the Company's OEM and Aftermarket Segments. As the operations of this acquisition 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. The acquisition of this business was recorded as of the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):

Cash consideration$50,664 
Fixed deferred consideration20,000 
Total fair value of consideration given$70,664 
Customer relationships$35,700 
Identifiable intangible assets7,820 
Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net14,442 
Total fair value of net assets acquired$57,962 
Goodwill (tax deductible)$12,702 

The customer relationships intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 20 years. The consideration given was greater than the fair value of the net assets acquired, resulting in goodwill.

Other Acquisitions in 2022

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company completed two other acquisitions for $5.0 million of cash purchase consideration. The preliminary purchase price allocations resulted in $0.8 million of goodwill (tax deductible). 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 in 2021

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. The acquisition qualifies as a business combination for accounting purposes and supports the acquisition of Furrion Holdings Limited ("Furrion") by allowing the Company to provide logistics and warehousing to serve Furrion's North American customer base. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date, primarily in the Company's OEM Segment. As the operations of this acquisition 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.

The Company had a pre-existing relationship with Exertis where Exertis had a prepaid asset and the Company had an equal and offsetting deferred revenue liability of $24.8 million, which was effectively settled immediately prior to the business combination. No gain or loss was recognized in the effective settlement of the deferred revenue liability.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company adjusted the preliminary purchase price allocation reported at December 31, 2021 to account for updates to 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.

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 fixed payments of $31.3 million due on each of the first and second anniversaries of the acquisition in September 2022 and September 2023. The Company paid the first anniversary payment in September 2022, and the remaining deferred acquisition
fixed payment is recorded at its discounted present value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in accrued expenses and other current liabilities at December 31, 2022.

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 (the "Receivable from Furrion") and Furrion had a corresponding payable balance. In direct connection with the acquisition negotiations, the receivable and payable balances 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 from Furrion.

The results of the acquired business have been included in the 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.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company adjusted and finalized the preliminary purchase price allocation reported at December 31, 2021 to account for updates to net working capital, intangible assets, fixed asset balances, and deferred tax 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 acquisition of this business was preliminarily recorded as of the acquisition date, and subsequently adjusted and finalized, as follows (in thousands):
