Acquisitions

Zalk Steel & Supply Co.

On June 30, 2014, we completed our acquisition of substantially all the assets of Zalk Steel & Supply Co. (“Zalk Steel”), a Minneapolis, Minnesota-based galvanizing company, for a purchase price of $10.5 million and the assumption of $0.3 million in liabilities. The Company recorded $3.3 million of goodwill, which has been allocated to the Galvanizing Services Segment, and $3.4 million of intangible assets associated with this acquisition. The intangible assets associated with the acquisition consist primarily of trade names, customer relationships and non-compete agreements. These intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 19 years for customer relationships, 19 years for trade names, and 5 years for non-compete agreements. Zalk Steel was acquired to expand AZZ's existing geographic footprint in North America. The goodwill arising from this acquisition was allocated to the Galvanizing Segment and is deductible for income tax purposes.

Unaudited pro forma results of operations assuming the Zalk Steel acquisition had taken place at the beginning of each period are not provided because the historical operating results of Zalk Steel were not significant and pro forma results would not be significantly different from reported results for the periods presented.

Aquilex Specialty Repair and Overhaul, LLC

On March 29, 2013, we completed our acquisition of all of the equity securities of Aquilex Specialty Repair and Overhaul LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WSI”), pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 22, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”). WSI provides the energy industry with specialty repair and overhaul solutions designed to improve mechanical integrity and extend component life. WSI offers services to a diverse base of blue-chip customers in the nuclear, fossil power, refining, chemical processing, pulp and waste-to-energy industries, serving clients that place a high value on reliability, quality and safety. WSI's offering is differentiated through advanced proprietary tooling and process technologies delivered by a uniquely skilled specialized workforce. The acquisition was part of AZZ's strategy to expand its offerings in the Energy Segment and to enhance AZZ's presence in the power generation market.

The Purchase Agreement provided for AZZ's acquisition of all equity securities of WSI for cash consideration in the amount of $275.7 million, which is comprised of $271.8 million as cash paid at closing and $3.9 million subsequently paid in connection with a purchase price adjustment based on working capital pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

The following consolidated supplemental pro forma information assumes that the acquisition of WSI took place on March 1, 2013 for the income statements for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2013. These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of WSI to reflect the decrease in interest expense that would have occurred under the new credit agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of WSI and to reflect the decrease in depreciation and amortization expense that would have occurred assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied on March 1, 2013, together with consequential tax effects. In addition, supplemental pro forma earnings were adjusted to exclude acquisition related costs of approximately $0.8 million and $4.3 million incurred during the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2013, respectively.

Using the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to WSI's net identifiable assets based on their estimated fair values as of March 29, 2013, the date AZZ acquired control of WSI. The excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets was recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:



	($ in thousands)
Current Assets	$	78,619
Property and Equipment	27,669
Intangible Assets	87,100
Goodwill	109,636
Other Assets	205
Total Assets Acquired	303,229
Current Liabilities	(27,527		)
Net Assets Acquired	$	275,702

All of the $87.1 million of intangible assets acquired are assigned to customer related intangibles and technology. The goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition is primarily attributable to a larger geographic footprint and also synergies expected to arise. These intangible assets are being amortized over 14 years for customer related intangibles, 19 years for tradenames and 3-9 years for technology on a straight line basis. Goodwill of $109.6 million arising from the acquisition has been allocated to the Energy Segment and will not be deductible for income tax purposes.
