ACQUISITIONS |
We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations of the acquisitions have been included in our consolidated results from their respective dates of acquisition. We allocate the purchase price of each acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. Acquisitions may include contingent consideration, the fair value of which is estimated on the acquisition date as the present value of the expected contingent payments, determined using weighted probabilities of possible payments. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were determined primarily by using an income approach which was based on assumptions and estimates made by management. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company specific information and projections which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements as defined by authoritative guidance. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill. |
|
The costs related to all acquisitions have been expensed as incurred and are included in “Acquisition related expenses, restructuring and integration charges, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs of $5,747 and $6,995 were expensed in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, and $3,854 was expensed in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 (none of which were incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2013). The expenses incurred during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 primarily relate to professional fees and stamp duty tax associated with our acquisition of Tilda and during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 primarily relate to professional fees associated with the acquisition of the UK Ambient Grocery Brands and BluePrint (as discussed below). Additionally, during the nine months ended March 31, 2014, a net reduction of acquisition related expenses of $1,936 was recorded related to adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities (See Note 14). |

Fiscal 2014 |
|
On January 13, 2014, we acquired Tilda Limited (“Tilda”), a leading premium 100% branded Basmati and specialty rice products company. Tilda offers a range of over 60 dry rice and ready-to-heat branded products under the brand names Tilda®, Akash® and Abu Shmagh® to consumers in over 40 countries, principally in the United Kingdom, the Middle East and North Africa, Continental Europe, North America and India. Consideration in the transaction consisted of cash totaling £73,355 (approximately $120,881 at the transaction date exchange rate), which remains subject to certain adjustments, 1,646,173 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $148,353 and deferred consideration (the “Vendor Loan Note”) for £20,000 issued by the Company which is payable within one year following completion of the acquisition, with a portion being payable in Company shares at the Company’s option. The cash consideration paid was funded with borrowings drawn under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility. Since the date of acquisition, net sales of $44,518 and income before income taxes from continuing operations of $5,607 were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2014. |
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Tilda acquisition: |

The purchase price allocation for Tilda is based upon preliminary valuations, and the Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. Any change in the estimated fair value of the net assets, prior to the finalization of the more detailed analyses, but not to exceed one year from the dates of acquisition, will change the amount of the purchase price allocations. |
|
The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on assumptions and estimates made by management. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships valued at $31,310 with an estimated useful life of 15 years, and trade names valued at $88,987 with indefinite lives. The goodwill represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized, including use of our existing infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired business’ products and expand sales of existing products into new regions. The goodwill recorded is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. |

The results of operations of Tilda have been included in our consolidated results from the date of acquisition (January 13, 2014). The following table provides unaudited pro forma results of continuing operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, as if the acquisition of Tilda had been completed at the beginning of fiscal year 2013. Additionally, the information presented below does not include the results of operations of our fiscal 2013 acquisitions during the period prior to the date of our respective acquisition. The information has been provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the Company for the periods presented or that will be achieved by the combined company in the future. The pro forma information has been adjusted to give effect to items that are directly attributable to the transactions and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The adjustments include amortization expense associated with acquired identifiable intangible assets, interest expense associated with bank borrowings to fund the acquisitions and elimination of transactions costs incurred that are directly related to the transactions and do not have a continuing impact on operating results from continuing operations. |

This information has not been adjusted to reflect any changes in the operations of the business subsequent to its acquisition by us. Changes in operations of the acquired business includes, but are not limited to, discontinuation of products and/or SKUs, integration of systems and personnel, changes in trade practices, application of our credit policies, changes in manufacturing processes or locations, and changes in marketing and advertising programs. Had any of these changes been implemented by the former management of the business acquired prior to acquisition by us, the net sales and net income information might have been materially different than the actual results achieved and from the pro forma information provided. In management’s opinion, these unaudited pro forma results of operations are not intended to represent or to be indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisitions been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented or of future operations of the combined companies under our management. |

Ella’s Kitchen’s operations are included as part of the Company’s United States operating segment. Consideration in the transaction consisted of cash totaling £37,571, net of cash acquired (approximately $58,437 at the transaction date exchange rate) and 687,779 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $45,050.

On December 21, 2012, we acquired the assets and business of Zoe Sakoutis LLC, d/b/a BluePrint Cleanse (“BluePrint”), a nationally recognized leader in the cold-pressed juice category based in New York City, for $16,679 in cash and 174,267 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $9,525. Additionally, contingent consideration of up to a maximum of approximately $82,400 is payable based upon the achievement of specified operating results during the two annual periods ending December 31, 2013 and 2014. The Company recorded $13,491 as the fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date. The BluePrint® brand, which is part of our United States operating segment, expanded our product offerings into a new category. The acquisition was funded with existing cash balances and borrowings under our Credit Agreement. |

On October 27, 2012, we completed the acquisition of a portfolio of market-leading packaged grocery brands including Hartley’s®, Sun-Pat®, Gale’s®, Robertson’s® and Frank Cooper’s®, together with the manufacturing facility in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom (the “UK Ambient Grocery Brands”) from Premier Foods plc. The product offerings acquired include jams, fruit spreads and jelly, peanut butter, honey and marmalade products.
