ACQUISITIONS

Fiscal 2016 acquisition

On November 3, 2015, we acquired manufacturing operations in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada for cash consideration of $2.2 million, net of post-closing working capital adjustments. This business allows us to service customers more competitively within the Canadian and Northeastern United States insulated metal panel (“IMP”) markets. Because the business was acquired from a seller in connection with a divestment required by a regulatory authority, the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the purchase consideration by $1.9 million, which was recorded as a non-taxable gain from bargain purchase in the consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of this acquisition as of November 3, 2015, as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 805, were as follows (in thousands):



	November 3, 2015
Current assets	$	307
Property, plant and equipment	4,810
Assets acquired	5,117
Current liabilities assumed	380
Fair value of net assets acquired	4,737
Total cash consideration transferred	2,201
Deferred tax liabilities	672
Gain from bargain purchase	$	(1,864	)

The results of operations for this business are included in our metal components segment. Pro forma financial information and other disclosures for this acquisition have not been presented as such is not material to the Company’s financial position or operating results.

Fiscal 2015 acquisition

On January 16, 2015, NCI Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Steelbuilding.com, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of NCI Group, Inc., completed the acquisition of CENTRIA (the “CENTRIA Acquisition”), a Pennsylvania general partnership (“CENTRIA”), pursuant to the terms of the Interest Purchase Agreement, dated November 7, 2014 (“Interest Purchase Agreement”) with SMST Management Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation, Riverfront Capital Fund, a Pennsylvania limited partnership, and CENTRIA. NCI acquired all of the general partnership interests of CENTRIA in exchange for $255.8 million in cash, including cash acquired of $8.7 million. The purchase price was subject to a post-closing adjustment to net working capital as provided in the Interest Purchase Agreement, which we settled during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 for additional cash consideration of approximately $2.1 million payable to the seller, which approximated the amount we previously accrued. The purchase price was funded through the issuance of $250.0 million of new indebtedness. See Note 11 — Long-Term Debt and Note Payable.

Accordingly, the results of CENTRIA’s operations from January 16, 2015 are included in our consolidated financial statements. For the fiscal year ended October 30, 2016 and for the period from January 16, 2015 to November 1, 2015, CENTRIA contributed revenue of $230.6 million and $179.4 million and operating income (loss) of $12.8 million and $(4.3) million, respectively. CENTRIA is a leader in the design, engineering and manufacturing of architectural IMP wall and roof systems and a provider of integrated coil coating services for the nonresidential construction industry. CENTRIA operates four production facilities in the United States and a manufacturing facility in China.

We report on a fiscal year that ends on the Sunday closest to October 31. CENTRIA previously reported on a calendar year that ended December 31. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the unaudited pro forma financial information for fiscal 2015 assumes the acquisition was completed on November 4, 2013, the first day of fiscal 2014.

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not necessarily represent what would have occurred if the transaction had taken place on the date presented and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments for interest expense to match the new capital structure, amortization expense for identified intangibles and depreciation expense based on the fair value and estimated lives of acquired property, plant and equipment. In addition, acquisition related costs and $16.1 million of transaction costs incurred by the seller are excluded from the unaudited pro forma financial information. The pro forma information does not reflect any expected synergies or expense reductions that may result from the acquisition.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the CENTRIA Acquisition as of January 16, 2015 as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 805. The fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed were finalized during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, including certain contingent assets and liabilities and the post-closing working capital adjustment, which did not result in any material adjustments.



(In thousands)	January 16, 2015
Cash	$	8,718
Current assets, excluding cash	74,725
Property, plant and equipment	34,127
Intangible assets	128,280
Assets acquired	245,850
Current liabilities	61,869
Other long-term liabilities	8,893
Liabilities assumed	70,762
Fair value of net assets acquired	175,088
Total cash consideration transferred	257,927
Goodwill	$	82,839

The amount allocated to intangible assets was attributed to the following categories (in thousands):



			Useful Lives
Backlog	$	8,400	9 months
Trade names	13,980		15 years
Customer lists and relationships	105,900		20 years
	$	128,280

These intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis, which is presented in intangible asset amortization in our consolidated statements of operations. The backlog intangible asset was fully amortized during fiscal 2015. We also recorded a step-up in inventory fair value of approximately $2.4 million in fiscal 2015, which was recognized as an expense in fair value adjustment of acquired inventory in our consolidated statements of operations upon the sale of the related inventory.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. The intention of this transaction was to strengthen our position as a fully integrated supplier to the nonresidential building products industry, by enhancing our existing portfolio of cold storage and commercial and industrial solutions, expanding our capabilities into high-end insulated metal panels and contributing specialty continuous metal coil coating capabilities. We believe the transaction will result in revenue synergies to our existing businesses, as well as improvements in supply chain efficiency, including alignment of purchase terms and pricing optimization. We include the results of CENTRIA in the metal components segment. Goodwill of $73.6 million and $9.1 million was recorded in our metal components segment and engineered building systems segment, respectively, based on expected synergies pertaining to these segments from the CENTRIA Acquisition. Additionally, because CENTRIA was treated as a partnership for tax purposes, the tax basis of the acquired assets and liabilities has been adjusted to their fair value and goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
