Business Acquisitions

We completed the acquisition of Burnaby Machine and Mill Equipment Ltd. (“BM&M”) in November 2018 for $26.2 in cash.  We used our revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) to fund the acquisition.  Based in Canada, BM&M provides high-speed gyratory screeners for a variety of industries. The results of BM&M will be reported in the Process Equipment Group segment. Based on our purchase price allocation, we recorded $14 of intangibles, which consisted of $10 of customer relationships, $1 of trade names and $3 of backlog.  In addition, we recorded $9 of goodwill and $3 of net tangible assets, primarily working capital.  Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair value did not ascribe a significant amount to tangible assets, as we often seek to acquire companies with a relatively low physical asset base in order to limit the need to invest significant additional cash post-acquisition.
