3. Business Combinations

On July 30, 2021, the Company acquired assets of Southern Crushed Concrete (SCC). SCC is a leading producer of recycled concrete in the Houston area, one of the country’s largest addressable aggregates markets. Recycled concrete is principally used as a base aggregates product in infrastructure, commercial and residential construction applications. The Company acquired inventories; property, plant and equipment; intangible assets (including goodwill), and right-of-use assets; and assumed asset retirement obligations; lease obligations; and other liabilities. The goodwill generated by the transaction will be deductible for income tax purposes. Although the initial accounting for the business combination has been recorded, the fair values of these amounts are subject to change during the measurement period, which remains open as of September 30, 2021. The acquisition is reported in the Company’s West Group, but is immaterial for pro-forma financial statement disclosures.

On April 30, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Tiller Corporation (Tiller), a leading aggregates and hot mix asphalt supplier in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, one of the largest and fastest growing midwestern metropolitan areas. The Tiller acquisition complements the Company’s existing product offerings in the surrounding areas. Additionally, Tiller sells asphalt solely as a materials provider and does not offer paving or other associated services. The Company financed the acquisition using available cash and borrowings under its credit facilities.  The Company has recorded preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are subject to asset verification and a normal post-closing working capital adjustment.  Therefore, the measurement period for property, plant and equipment and goodwill remains open as of September 30, 2021. The goodwill generated by the transaction will be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisition is reported in the Company’s East Group, but is immaterial for pro-forma financial statement disclosures.
