Acquisitions	Note 11—Acquisitions 2024 Acquisitions During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company completed two acquisitions, including the acquisition of CIT (collectively, the “2024 Acquisitions”), for approximately $2,099.8, net of cash acquired. Both acquisitions have been included in the Harsh Environment Solutions segment. The 2024 Acquisitions were each funded using cash on hand, proceeds from the New Senior Notes or borrowings under the U.S. Commercial Paper Program, or a combination thereof. The Company is in the process of analyzing and completing the allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for each of the 2024 Acquisitions. Since the current purchase price allocations for such acquisitions are based on preliminary assessments made by management as of September 30, 2024, the acquisition accounting is subject to final adjustments, and it is possible that the final assessments of values may differ from the Company’s preliminary assessments. The operating results of the 2024 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 allocations related to these acquisitions, have not been presented, since the 2024 Acquisitions are not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial results. Acquisition of Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (“CIT”) On May 21, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of CIT for approximately $1,995.3, net of cash acquired and subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The Company funded the CIT acquisition through a combination of net proceeds from the New Senior Notes, as discussed in Note 4 herein, together with borrowings under the U.S. Commercial Paper Program and cash on hand. CIT, headquartered in St. Augustine, FL, is a leading global supplier of harsh environment interconnect solutions, primarily to the commercial aerospace, defense and industrial end markets. CIT’s wide range of products include wire and cable, cable assemblies, contacts, connectors and sensors, which management believes are highly complementary to Amphenol’s existing interconnect and sensor solutions. CIT has been included in the Harsh Environment Solutions segment. As of September 30, 2024, the CIT acquisition resulted in the recognition of $1,122.1 of goodwill and $543.0 of definite-lived intangible assets, with the remainder of the purchase price being allocated to other identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Of the acquired definite-lived intangible assets, approximately $488.0 and $55.0 were assigned to customer relationships and acquired backlog, respectively. The acquired customer relationships and acquired backlog have a weighted average useful life of approximately 15 years and 0.4 years, respectively. These definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized based upon the underlying pattern of economic benefit as reflected by the future net cash inflows. The excess purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, which primarily represents the value of the assembled workforce along with other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Company expects that none of the goodwill recognized from the CIT acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $63.6 ($49.8 after-tax) and $133.6 ($109.7 after-tax), respectively, of acquisition-related expenses, comprised primarily of (i) the amortization related to the value associated with acquired backlog resulting from the CIT acquisition and external transaction costs associated with acquisitions (such acquisition-related expenses aggregating $45.4 and $115.4, respectively, are presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income) and (ii) the amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up costs in the third quarter of 2024 of $18.2 associated with the CIT acquisition (such costs are recorded in Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income). 2023 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed 10 acquisitions (the “2023 Acquisitions”) for approximately $970.4, net of cash acquired. Five of the acquisitions have been included in the Harsh Environment Solutions segment, three acquisitions have been included in the Interconnect and Sensor Systems segment, and two acquisitions have been included in the Communications Solutions segment. The 2023 Acquisitions were each funded using cash on hand or borrowings under our Commercial Paper Programs, or a combination thereof. One of the 2023 Acquisitions, which closed in the second quarter of 2023, represented a bargain purchase, where the estimated fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, exceeded the purchase price. The Company recognized a non-cash gain of $5.4 on the bargain purchase acquisition during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was recorded separately in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2024, the 2023 Acquisitions resulted in the recognition of $673.5 of goodwill and $153.2 of definite-lived intangible assets, comprised of customer relationships, proprietary technology and acquired backlog, with the remainder of the purchase price being allocated to other identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed. These definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized based upon the underlying pattern of economic benefit as reflected by the future net cash inflows, with the acquired customer relationships and proprietary technology having useful lives ranging from 6 to 12 years and the acquired backlog having a useful life of approximately 0.25 years. The excess purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, which primarily represents the value of the assembled workforce along with other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Company expects that approximately $155 of the goodwill recognized from the 2023 Acquisitions will be deductible for tax purposes. The Company completed the acquisition accounting, including the analyses of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, for six of the 2023 Acquisitions, and their final assessments of values did not differ materially from their previous preliminary assessments. The Company is in the process of analyzing and completing the allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for each of the other 2023 Acquisitions. Since the current purchase price allocations for such other acquisitions are based on preliminary assessments made by management as of September 30, 2024, the acquisition accounting is subject to final adjustments, and it is possible that the final assessments of values may differ from our preliminary assessments. The operating results of the 2023 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 allocations related to these acquisitions, were not presented, since the 2023 Acquisitions were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial results. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $9.0 ($8.4 after-tax) of acquisition-related expenses, comprised of external transaction costs related to acquisitions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $18.4 ($16.2 after-tax) of acquisition-related expenses, comprised of external transaction costs incurred in the second and third quarters of 2023, as well as the amortization related to the value associated with acquired backlog resulting from an acquisition that closed in the first quarter of 2023. Such acquisition-related expenses are presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Purchase Agreement to Acquire CommScope’s Mobile Networks-related Businesses On July 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (“CommScope”) to acquire CommScope’s mobile networks-related businesses, specifically the Outdoor Wireless Networks segment and the Distributed Antenna Systems business (collectively, the “Mobile Networks Business”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,100 in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, the acquisition is now expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. The Company expects to finance this acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and debt. The Mobile Networks Business provides mobile networks solutions, with advanced technologies in the areas of base station antennas and related interconnect solutions, as well as distributed antenna systems. The Mobile Networks Business’s wide range of products add advanced antenna and associated interconnect products, technologies and capabilities, which management believes are highly complementary to Amphenol’s existing product portfolio for next-generation wireless networks. If and when the acquisition is consummated, the Company expects to report the Mobile Networks Business within its Communications Solutions segment.
