Acquisitions
 
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 Portfolio
 
On
August
29,
2016,
the company acquired certain assets of select businesses (the “ON Portfolio”) of ON Semiconductor Corporation for
$104.0
million. The company funded the acquisition with available cash and proceeds from its credit facility
. The acquired business, which is included in the Electronics segment,
consists of a product portfolio that includes transient voltage suppression (“TVS”) diodes, switching thyristors and insulated gate bipolar transistors (“IGBTs”) for automotive ignition applications. The acquisition expands the company’s offerings in power semiconductor applications as well as increases its presence in the automotive electronics market. The ON Portfolio products have strong synergies with the company’s existing circuit protection business and will strengthen its channel partnerships and customer engagement.

years. The patented and unpatented technologies are being amortized over
