(4) Acquisitions, Discontinued Operations and Formation of Shanghai Electric JV

We use acquisitions as a part of our strategy to gain access to customer relationships, new technology, expand our geographical reach, penetrate new markets and leverage our existing product, market, manufacturing and technical expertise. Further, as part of our operating strategy, we regularly review and negotiate potential divestitures, some of which are or may be material. As a result of this continuous review, we determined that certain of our businesses would be better strategic fits with other companies or investors. Acquisitions and divestitures for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are described below.

The consolidated statements of operations include the results of each acquired business since the date of acquisition. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at estimates of fair values as determined by us based on information available at the acquisition date. We consider a number of factors, including third-party valuations or appraisals, when making these determinations. We will recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Refer to Note 8 for additional disclosure on the purchase price adjustments of the following acquisitions.

Acquisitions — 2012

On March 21, 2012, our Flow Technology reportable segment completed the acquisition of Seital S.r.l. ("Seital"), a supplier of disk centrifuges (separators and clarifiers) to the global food and beverage, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, for a purchase price of $28.8, net of cash acquired of $2.5 and including debt assumed of $0.8. Seital had revenues of approximately $14.0 in the twelve months prior to the date of acquisition. The pro forma effects of the acquisition of Seital were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our consolidated results of operations.

Acquisitions — 2011

On December 22, 2011, our Flow Technology reportable segment completed the acquisition of Clyde Union, a global supplier of pump technologies utilized in oil and gas processing, power generation and other industrial applications for an initial payment of 500.0 British Pounds ("GBP"), less debt assumed and other adjustments of GBP 11.0. In addition, the purchase price includes a potential earn-out payment (equal to Annual 2012 Group EBITDA (as defined by the related agreement) × 10, less GBP 475.0). In no event shall the earn-out payment be less than GBP 0.0 or more than GBP 250.0. Although we are still in the process of completing the earn-out procedure as set forth in the purchase agreement, no liability for an earn-out payment has been provided in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because, based on projected and actual operating results throughout the year, we have not expected, and do not expect, Clyde Union to achieve the required minimum Annual 2012 Group EBITDA.

We financed the acquisition with available cash and committed senior secured financing. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further details on the senior secured financing. The sellers of Clyde Union also contributed GBP 25.0 of cash to the acquired business at the time of sale.

The following is a summary of the recorded fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Clyde Union at the date of acquistion, and reflects acquisition accounting adjustments recorded during 2012:


Assets acquired:
Current assets, including cash and equivalents of $44.3	$	354.1
Property, plant and equipment		89.8
Goodwill		377.2
Intangible assets		374.6
Other assets		25.1

Total assets acquired		1,220.8

Liabilities assumed:
Current liabilities		287.0
Other long-term liabilities		165.0

Total liabilities assumed		452.0

Noncontrolling interest		1.8

Net assets acquired	$	767.0

The identifiable intangible assets acquired consist of trademarks, customer lists, customer relationships and technology of $76.8, $3.3, $234.4 and $60.1, respectively. The customer lists, customer relationships and technology assets are being amortized over 2.0, 30.0 and 27.0 years, respectively.

The qualitative factors that comprise the recorded goodwill include expected synergies from combining our existing and Clyde Union's operations, expected market growth for existing Clyde Union operations as well as other factors. We expect none of this goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes.

We acquired gross receivables of $152.1, which had a fair value on acquisition date of $148.2 based on our estimates of cash flows expected to be recovered.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents our after-tax results of operations as if the acquisition of Clyde Union had taken place on January 1, 2010. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of our consolidated results of operations that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations. The pro forma results include estimates and assumptions that management believes are reasonable; however, these results do not include any anticipated cost savings or expenses of the planned integration of Clyde Union. These pro forma results of operations have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include the following adjustments to historical results for the periods presented:

•

Additional depreciation and amortization expense associated with the fair value adjustments to the acquired Clyde Union property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (2011 — $5.5 and 2010 — $10.6).

•

The elimination of interest expense related to the portion of Clyde Union's long-term debt that was paid-off at the time of the acquisition (2011 — $17.8 and 2010 — $11.1).

•

The addition of interest expense associated with the term loans that were drawn down in order to finance the Clyde Union acquisition (2011 — $19.0 and 2010 — $20.3).

•

The elimination of rent expense associated with a facility in Scotland that had been leased by Clyde Union and that we purchased on December 23, 2011 (2011 — $2.1 and 2010 — $2.0).

•

The elimination of $34.6 in charges incurred in 2011 associated with the foreign currency protection agreements that we entered into to hedge the Clyde Union purchase price.

•

The elimination of $7.4 of transaction fees incurred in 2011 in connection with the acquisition (Buyer — $5.6 and Seller — $1.8).

•

A reduction in bonding costs for Clyde Union due to more favorable rates under our senior credit facilities (2011 — $5.9 and 2010 — $5.5).

•

The above modifications were adjusted for the applicable income tax impact.

The pro forma effects of the acquisitions of Anhydro, TTS and Gerstenberg were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our consolidated results of operations in any period.

Discontinued Operations

We report businesses or asset groups as discontinued operations when, among other things, we commit to a plan to divest the business or asset group, actively begin marketing the business or asset group, and when the sale of the business or asset group is deemed probable within the next twelve months. The following businesses, which have been sold, met these requirements, and therefore have been reported as discontinued operations for the periods presented.

Business

TPS Tianyu Equipment Co., Ltd. ("Tianyu")	Q4 2012	Q4 2012
Weil-McLain (Shandong) Cast-Iron-Boiler Co., Ltd. ("Weil-McLain Shandong")	Q4 2012	Q4 2012
SPX Service Solutions ("Service Solutions")	Q1 2012	Q4 2012
Cooling Spain Packaging business ("Cooling Spain")	Q4 2010	Q4 2010
P.S.D., Inc. ("PSD")	Q2 2009	Q1 2010

Tianyu — Sold for cash consideration of one RMB (exclusive of cash transferred with the business of $1.1), resulting in a loss, net of taxes, of $1.8 during 2012.

Weil McLain Shandong — Sold for cash consideration of $2.7 (exclusive of cash transferred with the business of $3.1), resulting in gain, net of taxes, of $2.2 during 2012.

Service Solutions — Sold to Robert Bosch GmbH for cash consideration of $1,134.9, resulting in a gain, net of taxes, of $313.4 during 2012.

Cooling Spain — Sold for cash consideration of one Euro (exclusive of cash transferred with the business of $2.3), resulting in a loss, net of taxes, of $1.9 during 2010. During 2011, we recorded a net charge of $0.1 to "Gain on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" within our consolidated statement of operations in connection with adjustments to certain liabilities that we retained.

PSD — Sold for cash consideration of $3.0, resulting in a gain, net of taxes, of $3.6 during 2010.

In addition to the businesses discussed above, we recognized net gains (losses) of $(0.4), $0.4 and $2.7 during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, resulting from adjustments to gains/losses on businesses that we sold (and included in discontinued operations) prior to 2010.

During 2010, the field examinations of our 2006 and 2007 federal income tax returns were completed by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). In connection with the completion of these examinations, we reduced our liability for uncertain tax positions and recognized an income tax benefit of $7.3 to "Gain on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax" associated with a business previously disposed of and reported as a discontinued operation.

The final sales price for certain of the divested businesses is subject to adjustment based on working capital existing at the respective closing dates. The working capital figures are subject to agreement with the buyers or, if we cannot come to agreement with the buyers, an arbitration process. Final agreement of the working capital figures with the buyers for some of these transactions has yet to occur. In addition, changes in estimates associated with liabilities retained in connection with a business divestiture (e.g., income taxes) may occur. It is possible that the sales price and resulting gains/losses on these and other previous divestitures may be materially adjusted in subsequent periods.

For 2012, 2011 and 2010, income from discontinued operations and the related income taxes are shown below:

	Year ended December 31,

	2012			2011			2010

Formation of Shanghai Electric JV

On December 30, 2011, we and Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd. established the Shanghai Electric JV, a joint venture supplying dry cooling and moisture separator reheater products and services to the power sector in China and other selected regions of the world. We contributed and sold certain assets of our dry cooling products business in China to the joint venture in consideration for a 45% ownership interest in the joint venture and cash payments of RMB 96.7, with RMB 51.5 received in January, 2012, RMB 25.8 received in December, 2012, and the remaining RMB payment contingent upon the joint venture achieving defined sales order volumes. In addition, we have licensed our dry cooling and moisture separator reheater technologies to the joint venture, for which we are receiving a royalty. We also are continuing to manufacture dry cooling components in our China factories and have entered into an exclusive supply agreement with the joint venture for these products. Final approval for the transaction was not received until January 13, 2012. We determined that this transaction met the deconsolidation criteria of ASC 810, "Consolidation," and, thus, recorded a gain for the transaction equal to the estimated fair value of our investment in the joint venture plus any consideration received, less the carrying value of assets contributed and sold to the joint venture. We recorded the net gain associated with this transaction of $20.5 in the first quarter of 2012, with such gain included in "Other income (expense), net."
