Note 11—Acquisitions

 

In January 2019, pursuant to a definitive agreement entered into on November 27, 2018, the Company acquired SSI Controls Technologies (“SSI”), the sensor manufacturing division of SSI Technologies, Inc., for approximately $397, net of cash acquired (subject to customary post-closing adjustments), plus a performance-related contingent payment.  SSI, which is headquartered in the United States (Wisconsin), is a leading designer and manufacturer of sensors and sensing solutions for the global automotive and industrial markets.  The acquisition of SSI is not material to the Company.  The contingent consideration payment is based on certain 2019 revenue and profitability levels of SSI.  The Company determined the fair value of this liability using Level 3 unobservable inputs, such as probability weighted payout projections, and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 16).  The contingent consideration is payable in 2020 and recorded in Other accrued expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019.

 

In the past twelve months, the Company has completed several other acquisitions, all within the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment.  The Company is in the process of completing its analyses of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  The Company anticipates that the final assessments of values will not differ materially from the preliminary assessments.  These acquisitions were not material to the Company either individually or in the aggregate.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred approximately $16.5 ($13.2 after-tax) of acquisition-related expenses, which includes the amortization of $12.5 related to the value associated with acquired backlog from the SSI acquisition, as well as external transaction costs of $4.0.  Such acquisition-related expenses are separately presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
