The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” in which assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. The operating results of the acquired business are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of the acquisition.

On July 19, 2022, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of C&K Switches (“C&K”) for $540 million in cash. Founded in 1928, C&K is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance electromechanical switches and

interconnect solutions with a strong global presence across a broad range of end markets, including industrial, transportation, aerospace, and datacom. At the time the Company and C&K entered into the definitive agreement, C&K had annualized sales of over $200 million. The business is reported as part of the Electronics-Passive Products and Sensors business within the Company's Electronics segment.

The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and debt. The total purchase consideration of $523.0 million, net of cash acquired, has been allocated, on a preliminary basis, to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the completion of the acquisition, based on preliminary estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation is preliminary because the evaluations necessary to assess the fair values of the net assets acquired are still in process. As a result, these allocations are subject to change during the purchase price allocation period as the valuations are finalized.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the C&K acquisition:


(in thousands)	Purchase Price Allocation
Total purchase consideration:
Cash, net of cash acquired	$	523,014
Allocation of consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Trade receivables, net	26,231
Inventories	42,968
Other current assets	2,932
Property, plant, and equipment	32,559
Intangible assets	254,700
Goodwill	278,016
Other non-current assets	14,797
Current liabilities	(50,871)
Long- term debt	(14,889)
Other non-current liabilities	(63,429)
	$	523,014

All C&K goodwill, other assets and liabilities were recorded in the Electronics segment and are reflected in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific geographic areas. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition consists largely of the Company’s expected future product sales and synergies from combining C&K’s products and technology with the Company’s existing Electronics products portfolio. Goodwill resulting from the C&K acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income for the three months ended October 1, 2022 are net sales of approximately $37.9 million, and a loss before income taxes of $6.1 million, since the July 19, 2022 acquisition of C&K.

As required by purchase accounting rules, the Company recorded a $10.8 million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date based on the preliminary valuation. The step-up was partially amortized as a non-cash charge to cost of sales during the three months ended October 1, 2022, as the acquired inventory was sold, and reflected as other non-segment costs. The Company recognized a non-cash charge of $6.8 million to cost of sales during the three months ended October 1, 2022.

During the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, the Company incurred approximately $3.5 million and $9.2 million, respectively, of legal and professional fees related to C&K acquisition recognized as Selling, general, and administrative expenses. These costs were reflected as other non-segment costs.

On April 12, 2022, the Company acquired Embed Ltd. (“Embed”). Founded in 2005, Embed is a proven provider of embedded software and firmware developed for a broad range of applications serving transportation end markets. The business is included in the commercial vehicle business within the Company's Transportation segment. The acquisition was funded with the Company’s cash on hand.

At the time of acquisition, Carling had annualized sales of approximately $170 million. The operations of Carling are included in the commercial vehicle business within the Company's Transportation segment. The purchase price for Carling Technologies was approximately $315.5 million subject to a working capital adjustment.

The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. The total purchase consideration of $314.1 million, net of cash, has been allocated, on a preliminary basis, to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the completion of the acquisition, based on preliminary estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation is preliminary because the evaluations necessary to assess the fair values of the net assets acquired are still in process. The primary area not yet finalized relates to the completion of the valuation of certain acquired income tax assets and liabilities. As a result, these allocations are subject to change during the purchase price allocation period as the valuations are finalized.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Carling acquisition:


(in thousands)	Purchase Price Allocation
Total purchase consideration:
Cash, net of cash acquired	$	314,094

During the nine months ended October 1, 2022, the Company paid $0.5 million related to the final working capital adjustment and made measurement period adjustments to reduce the fair value of property, plant and equipment of $8.2 million, inventories of $0.8 million, and an increase in net accounts receivable of $0.6 million and intangible assets attributable to customer relationships of $0.5 million. As a result of these adjustments along with a corresponding reduction of deferred tax liabilities of $2.5 million, goodwill was increased by $5.9 million.

As required by purchase accounting rules, the Company recorded a $6.4 million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date based on the preliminary valuation. The step-up was amortized as a non-cash charge to cost of sales during the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022, as the acquired inventory was sold, and reflected as other non-segment costs. The Company recognized a non-cash charge of $4.8 million to cost of sales during the nine months ended October 1, 2022.

The purchase price for Hartland was $111.0 million and the operations of Hartland are included in the Industrial segment.

The total purchase consideration of $108.5 million, net of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the completion of the acquisition, based on estimated fair values.

	$	108,516

All Hartland goodwill, other assets and liabilities were recorded in the Industrial segment and are primarily reflected in the Americas and Asia-Pacific geographic areas. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition consists largely of the Company’s expected future product sales and synergies from combining Hartland’s products and technology with the Company’s existing industrial products portfolio. Goodwill resulting from the Hartland acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company recorded a $6.8 million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date. The step-up was amortized as a non-cash charge to cost of sales during the first and second quarters of 2021, as the acquired inventory was sold, and is reflected as other non-segment costs. During the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021, the Company recognized a charge of $3.3 million and 6.8 million, respectively, for the amortization of this fair value inventory step-up.

During the nine months ended September 25, 2021, the Company incurred approximately $0.8 million of legal and professional fees related to Hartland acquisition recognized as Selling, general, and administrative expenses. These costs were reflected as other non-segment costs.

The following table summarizes, on an unaudited pro forma basis, the combined results of operations of the Company, C&K as though the acquisition had occurred as of December 27, 2020, and Hartland and Carling as though the acquisitions had occurred as of December 29, 2019. The Company has not included pro forma results of operations for Embed as its operations were not material to the Company. The pro forma amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated results had the C&K acquisition occurred as of December 27, 2020 and had the Hartland and Carling acquisitions occurred as of December 29, 2019 or of future consolidated operating results.
