Acquisitions
Pending
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company signed an agreement to acquire German-based Specialized Industrial Coatings Holding (SIC Holding), a Peter Möhrle Holding and GP Capital UG venture comprised of Oskar Nolte GmbH and Klumpp Coatings GmbH. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in 2023. The acquired business will be reported within the Company’s Performance Coatings Group.
Closed in Current Year
In April 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of the European industrial coatings business of Sika AG. This business engineers, manufactures and sells corrosion protection coating systems and fire protection coating systems. In July 2022, the Company completed the acquisitions of Gross & Perthun GmbH, a German-based developer, manufacturer, and distributor of coatings primarily for the heavy equipment and transportation industries, Dur-A-Flex, Inc., a domestic floor coatings company, and Powdertech Oy Ltd., a Finland-based distributor of powder coatings and related products. The acquired businesses will be reported within the Company’s Performance Coatings Group. In December 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Industria Chimica Adriatica S.p.A. (ICA), an Italian designer, manufacturer and distributor of industrial wood coatings with global operations.
The aggregate purchase price for the acquisitions completed in 2022 was approximately $1.024 billion, including amounts withheld as security for certain representations, warranties and obligations of the sellers. The purchase price for each acquisition was preliminarily allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities based on information available at the date of acquisition and may change as the Company completes its analysis of net assets acquired, primarily the identification and valuation of intangible assets. As of December 31, 2022, $282.8 million of intangible assets and $565.8 million of goodwill were recognized from these transactions. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation for each of the acquisitions within the allowable measurement period. The results of operations for the acquisitions have been included in the consolidated financial
statements since the respective acquisition dates. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented as the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results is not material.
Closed in Prior Year
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of a domestic coatings company. The acquisition expanded the Performance Coatings Group’s platform for growth and portfolio of brands and technologies. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Specialty Polymers, Inc. (Specialty Polymers), a leading manufacturer and developer of water-based polymers used in architectural and industrial coatings and other applications. The acquisition added to the Company’s existing internal resin manufacturing capabilities. Specialty Polymers is reported within the Company’s Performance Coatings Group.
The aggregate purchase price for acquisitions completed in 2021 was approximately $227.0 million, including amounts withheld as security for certain representations, warranties and obligations of the sellers. The purchase price for each acquisition was preliminarily allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities based on information available at the date of acquisition. As of December 31, 2021, $155.6 million of goodwill and $11.3 million of intangible assets were recognized from these transactions. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company made certain adjustments to the preliminary purchase accounting adjustments associated with the net assets acquired in its 2021 acquisition of Specialty Polymers. The fair value of finite-lived intangible assets increased by $61.3 million and property, plant and equipment assets acquired increased by $11.0 million, offset by a corresponding net decrease in goodwill. There was no material impact on previously reported financial results from these adjustments. The Company completed the preliminary purchase price allocation for the acquisitions completed in 2021 within the allowable measurement period. See Note 7 for additional information related to the acquisitions. The results of operations for the acquisitions have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the respective acquisition dates. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented as the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results is not material.
Divestiture
On March 31, 2021, the Company divested Wattyl, an Australian and New Zealand manufacturer and seller of architectural and protective paint and coatings with annual revenue of approximately $200 million. The divestiture will enable the Company to focus its resources on global opportunities which better align with our long-term strategies. In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $111.9 million within Other general (income) expense - net (see Note 20). The Wattyl divestiture does not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements as the Company’s decision to divest this business did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.
