| Acquisitions |
Acquisition:
On June 12, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), the Company acquired the facilities of Sovitec Mondial S.A. (“Sovitec”) located in Belgium, Spain, Argentina and France as part of a stock transaction (the “Acquisition”) for $41,572 in cash, excluding assumed debt. Based in Fleurus, Belgium, Sovitec is a high quality producer of engineered glass products used in transportation safety, metal finishing and polymer additives.
The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, the purchase price was allocated to the identifiable net assets acquired based on the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired was recorded to goodwill.
The following table sets forth the calculation and preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable net assets acquired with respect to the Acquisition:
The valuation of the identifiable assets and liabilities included in the table above is preliminary and is subject to change, as the Company is in the process of evaluating the information required to determine the fair values of certain identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, including inventory, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets. An increased portion of the purchase price allocated to the identifiable net assets acquired will reduce the amount recognized for goodwill and may result in increased cost of goods sold, depreciation and/or amortization expense. Adjustments to the provisional amounts during the measurement period that result in changes to depreciation, amortization or other income effects will be recognized in the reporting period(s) in which the adjustments are determined.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include Sovitec’s results of operations for the period from the Closing Date through September 30, 2017. Net sales and net income attributable to Sovitec during this period are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and total $13,490 and $644, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and $17,194 and $1,148, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Acquisition costs of $737 and $2,065 are included in other operating expense, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
The Company believes that the Acquisition will enable it to offer a more comprehensive, cost-effective and high-quality portfolio of products and services to its customers worldwide when, combined with anticipated synergies within its existing business, contributed to a total purchase price that resulted in the recognition of goodwill. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Company’s Performance Materials and Chemicals segment. The goodwill associated with the Acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 has been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and prepared to give effect to the Acquisition, assuming that the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not indicative of the Company’s actual consolidated results of operations had the Acquisition been made as of January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma results of operations do not reflect any operating efficiencies or potential cost savings which may result from the Acquisition. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 include the operating results of the combined company for the full period and therefore, there is no pro forma presentation included in the table below.
Certain non-recurring charges included in the Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were allocated to the respective prior year periods for pro forma purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, non-recurring charges allocated to the prior year period include transaction fee charges of $2,065 which were excluded from the pro forma net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Business Combination:
As described in Note 1 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, on May 4, 2016, the Company, PQ Holdings, Eco Services, certain investment funds affiliated with CCMP and certain other stockholders of PQ Holdings and Eco Services completed the Business Combination. Eco Services is the accounting predecessor to PQ Group Holdings. Certain investment funds affiliated with CCMP held a controlling interest position in Eco Services prior to the Business Combination. In addition, certain investment funds affiliated with CCMP owned a noncontrolling interest in PQ Holdings prior to the Business Combination and the merger with Eco constituted a change in control under the various PQ Holdings credit agreements and bond indenture. Therefore, Eco Services is deemed to be the accounting acquirer. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the continuation of Eco Services’ business prior to the Business Combination.
Total consideration for the Business Combination included $1,777,740 of cash, $910,800 of equity in the acquired PQ Holdings entities and $1,401 of assumed stock awards of PQ Holdings. The fair value of the equity consideration was determined based on an estimated enterprise value using a market approach as of the date of the Business Combination, reduced by borrowings to arrive at the fair value of equity. The existing PQ Holdings credit facilities were not legally assumed as part of the Business Combination and the extinguishment of the debt concurrent with the Business Combination was included as part of the consideration transferred.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include PQ Holdings results of operations from May 4, 2016 through September 30, 2016. Net sales and net loss attributable to PQ Holdings during this period are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and total $276,726 and $29,070 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and $462,097 and $122,497 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Acquisition costs of $896 and $1,398 are included in other operating expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
In accordance with the requirements of the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, inventories were recorded at fair market value (which is defined as estimated selling prices less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the acquiring entity), which was $58,683 higher than the historical cost. The Company’s cost of goods sold includes a pre-tax charge of $5,804 and $23,518 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, relating to the portion of the step-up on inventory sold during the period. A separate portion of the fair value step-up related to the domestic inventory accounted for under the LIFO method was included in inventory on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 as part of the new LIFO base layer on the acquired inventory.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 has been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and prepared to give effect to the Business Combination, assuming that the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2015. These pro forma adjustments primarily relate to incremental depreciation expense on the step up of fixed assets, amortization of acquired intangibles, higher cost of goods sold related to the sale of revalued inventory, incremental interest expense related to the additional debt that needed to fund the Business Combination, and the estimated impact of these adjustments on the Company’s tax provision. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not indicative of the Company’s actual consolidated results of operations had the Business Combination been made as of January 1, 2015. The unaudited pro forma results of operations do not reflect any operating efficiencies or potential cost savings which may result from the Business Combination. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2016 include the operating results of the combined company for the full period and therefore, there is no pro forma presentation included in the table below.
Certain non-recurring charges included in the Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were allocated to the respective prior year periods for pro forma purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, non-recurring charges allocated to the prior year period include a debt prepayment penalty of $26,250, refinancing charges of $4,616 and transaction fee charges of $714, all of which are excluded from the pro forma net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
