Acquisitions	Note 11—Acquisitions 2022 Acquisitions During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company completed two acquisitions for approximately $288.2, net of cash acquired. The acquisitions were funded through a combination of borrowings under the U.S. Commercial Paper Program and cash on hand. One acquisition has been included in the Harsh Environment Solutions segment, and the other has been included in the Interconnect and Sensor Systems segment. The Company has begun the process of analyzing the allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Since the current purchase price allocation for each of these acquisitions is based on a preliminary assessment made by management as of September 30, 2022, the acquisition accounting is subject to final adjustment, and it is possible that the final assessment of values may differ materially from our initial preliminary assessment. The operating results of the acquisitions have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. Pro forma financial information, as well as further details regarding the purchase price allocation related to these acquisitions, have not been presented, since these acquisitions were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial results. 2021 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed seven acquisitions for $2,225.4, net of cash acquired, while also completing the divestiture of the Divested MTS business, as discussed below and in more detail in the 2021 Annual Report. One of the acquisitions was included in the Harsh Environment Solutions segment, three acquisitions were included in the Communications Solutions segment and three acquisitions were included in the Interconnect and Sensor Systems segment. The Company completed the acquisition accounting, including the analyses of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, for six of the acquisitions, for each of which the final assessment of values did not differ materially from their previous preliminary assessments. For the Halo acquisition, as discussed further below, the Company is in the process of completing its analyses of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and anticipates that the final assessments of values for these acquisitions will not differ materially from the preliminary assessments. The operating results of the 2021 acquisitions were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. Pro forma financial information, as well as further details regarding the purchase price allocation related to these acquisitions, was not presented, since these acquisitions were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial results. Acquisition of MTS Systems Corporation and Sale of the Divested MTS Business On April 7, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of MTS Systems Corporation (Nasdaq: MTSC) (“MTS”) for a total enterprise value of approximately $1,700, net of cash acquired and including the repayment of all outstanding debt and certain liabilities. MTS was historically organized into two business segments: Sensors (“MTS Sensors”) and Test & Simulation (“MTS T&S”). The MTS acquisition was funded through a combination of borrowings under the U.S. Commercial Paper Program and cash on hand. At closing, the Company paid approximately $1,300, net of cash acquired, for 100% of the common stock of MTS, including certain liabilities settled at closing, which was reflected within net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, the Company also assumed MTS’s then-outstanding $350.0 principal amount of senior notes due August 15, 2027. Shortly after the closing, the Company repaid and settled the MTS senior notes for approximately $387.3, which included accrued interest and a make-whole premium incurred as a result of the early extinguishment of the senior notes. Prior to the closing of the MTS acquisition, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell MTS (including the MTS T&S business, but excluding the MTS Sensors business) to Illinois Tool Works Inc. (“ITW”). Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we refer to MTS (including the MTS T&S business, but excluding the MTS Sensors business) as the “Divested MTS business”. On December 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of the Divested MTS business to ITW for approximately $750, net of cash divested and excluding related transaction fees and expenses. After giving effect to the sale of the Divested MTS business as well as the repayment of the aforementioned MTS senior notes as part of the MTS acquisition, the Company paid approximately $950, net of cash acquired and excluding related transaction fees and expenses, for the retained MTS Sensors business. The Divested MTS business met the “held for sale” criteria at its acquisition date and accordingly, the Company did not assign the Divested MTS business to any of its reportable business segments. The Company accounted for the operating results and related cash flows associated with the Divested MTS business as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow, respectively, as of the MTS acquisition date of April 7, 2021 through September 30, 2021, and ultimately, through December 1, 2021, the date of the sale of the Divested MTS business. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the comprehensive income associated with discontinued operations was not material and was not separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Upon the sale of the Divested MTS business in December 2021, the Company completed the acquisition accounting associated with the Divested MTS business, which was performed separately from the purchase price allocation of the retained MTS Sensors business. The proceeds from the sale of the Divested MTS business were included in Net cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 2021. The sale of the Divested MTS business did not result in any significant gain or loss recorded to discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, the Company assumed a $28.7 contingent consideration liability from the MTS acquisition, which was recognized at fair value as part of acquisition accounting. This contingent consideration was recorded within current liabilities held for sale on the Company’s balance sheet as of the acquisition date. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company made a capital contribution to the Divested MTS business, which in turn used the funding to settle the contingent consideration. The retained MTS Sensors business is reported within our Interconnect and Sensor Systems segment. The Company completed its analysis of the purchase price allocation of the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as part of the acquisition accounting associated with the MTS Sensors business. The final assessment of values for the MTS acquisition did not differ materially from previous preliminary assessments. The MTS acquisition resulted in the recognition of $738.7 of goodwill, $54.0 of indefinite-lived tradename intangible assets and $178.2 of definite-lived intangible assets, each associated with the MTS Sensors business. The definite-lived intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships, proprietary technology, and backlog of $122.9, $39.1 and $16.2, respectively, and are amortized based upon the underlying pattern of economic benefit with weighted-average useful lives of 11 years, 15 years and 0.25 years, respectively. Other than these intangible assets, the remainder of the purchase price has been allocated to other identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As part of acquisition accounting, the Company also recorded $47.0 of deferred tax liabilities associated with certain basis differences, the majority of which the Company recognized for tax purposes and paid in the fourth quarter of 2021 upon the sale of the Divested MTS business. The excess purchase price over the fair value of the underlying assets acquired (net of liabilities assumed) was allocated to goodwill, which primarily represents the value of assembled workforce and the anticipated cost savings and efficiencies associated with the integration of the MTS Sensors business, along with other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Company does not expect any such recognized goodwill associated with the acquisition of the MTS Sensors business to be deductible for tax purposes. The operating results for the MTS Sensors business have been included within continuing operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date of April 7, 2021, while the operating results for the Divested MTS business were classified and reported as discontinued operations as discussed above. Acquisition of Halo Technology Limited On December 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of approximately 97% of the common stock of Halo Technology Limited (“Halo”) for a purchase price of approximately $694, net of cash acquired. The sellers retained a noncontrolling interest of less than 3% in Halo, which includes redeemable features that are outside the control of the Company and therefore, has been classified as temporary equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as discussed in more detail in Note 5 herein. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. The Company is in the process of analyzing the allocation of the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as part of acquisition accounting. As of September 30, 2022, the Halo acquisition resulted in the recognition of $524.6 of goodwill, $29.0 of indefinite-lived tradename intangible assets and $168.0 of definite-lived intangible assets. The definite-lived intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships, proprietary technology, and backlog of $44.0, $115.0 and $9.0, respectively, and are amortized based upon the underlying pattern of economic benefit with weighted average useful lives of 13 years, 15 years and one month, respectively. Other than these intangible assets, the remainder of the purchase price has been allocated to other identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests (including redeemable noncontrolling interests) assumed. As part of acquisition accounting, the excess purchase price over the fair value of the underlying assets acquired (net of liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed) was allocated to goodwill, which primarily represents the value of assembled workforce and the anticipated cost savings and efficiencies associated with the integration of Halo, along with other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Company does not expect any such recognized goodwill associated with the Halo acquisition to be deductible for tax purposes. The current purchase price allocation is based on a preliminary assessment made by management as of September 30, 2022. The acquisition accounting for Halo is subject to final adjustment, and it is possible that the final assessment of values may differ from our preliminary assessment. The operating results for Halo have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date. The acquisition of Halo, which is reported within our Communications Solutions segment, was not material to the Company’s financial results. Acquisition-related Expenses During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $12.0 ($10.5 after-tax) of acquisition-related expenses, comprised primarily of external transaction costs as well as the amortization related to the value associated with acquired backlog resulting from an acquisition that closed in 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $55.4 ($44.6 after-tax) of acquisition-related expenses, comprised primarily of transaction, severance, restructuring and certain non-cash purchase accounting costs related to the MTS acquisition in the second quarter of 2021. Such acquisition-related expenses are presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
