MUELLER INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

General

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted.  Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the annual financial statements incorporated therein.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented herein. 

Note 1 – Recent Accounting Standards

Adopted

In July 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements and ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. The ASUs clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new leasing standard, ASC 842.  ASC 842 requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for each lease with a term of more than 12 months.  Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a financing or operating lease.  The guidance also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements.  The Company adopted the ASU during the first quarter of 2019 using a modified retrospective approach and applied the transition provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year. Financial results reported in periods prior to 2018 are unchanged. The Company elected a package of practical expedients, which, among other things, does not require the reassessment of lease classification. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts. The Company implemented a system to identify its entire population of leases and tested the population for completeness. As of the effective date, the Company recognized noncurrent right-of-use assets of $29.5 million and corresponding current and noncurrent lease liabilities of $4.8 million and $25.4 million, respectively.

Issued

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. For employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans, the ASU eliminates requirements for certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, requires new disclosures related to the weighted-average interest crediting rate for cash balance plans and explanations for significant gains and losses related to changes in benefit obligations, and clarifies the requirements for entities that provide aggregate disclosures for two or more plans. The ASU will be effective for the annual period beginning in 2020. The updated guidance requires retrospective adoption, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU eliminates requirements to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but requires public companies to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (OCI) for recurring level 3 fair value measurements or instruments held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning in 2020. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements, and can elect to early adopt in interim periods. The guidance on changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in OCI for recurring level 3 measurements, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty is applied prospectively. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2 – Earnings per Common Share

Basic per share amounts have been computed based on the average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted per share amounts reflect the increase in average common shares outstanding that would result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards, computed using the treasury stock method.  Approximately 110 thousand and 79 thousand stock-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, respectively, because they were antidilutive.

Note 3 – Acquisitions

ATCO

On July 2, 2018, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of ATCO Rubber Products, Inc. (ATCO) for approximately $158.1 million, net of working capital adjustments. The total purchase price consisted of $151.8 million in cash at closing and a contingent consideration arrangement which requires the Company to pay the former owner up to $12.0 million based on EBITDA growth of the acquired business. ATCO is an industry leader in the manufacturing and distribution of insulated HVAC flexible duct systems and will support the Company’s strategy to grow its Climate Products businesses to become a more valuable resource to its HVAC customers. The acquired business is reported in the Company’s Climate segment.

The fair value of the assets acquired totaled $137.9 million, consisting primarily of property, plant, and equipment of $83.1 million, inventories of $31.7 million, accounts receivable of $21.8 million, other current assets of $1.1 million, and other assets of $0.2 million. The fair value of the liabilities assumed totaled $20.4 million, consisting primarily of accounts payable of $8.1 million, other current liabilities of $10.2 million, and long-term debt of $2.1 million. Of the remaining purchase price, $17.2 million was allocated to tax-deductible goodwill and $23.4 million was allocated to intangible assets, including technology, customer relationships, trade names, and supply contracts. The valuation of the business has been finalized. Changes to the purchase price allocation from the amounts presented in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K included the valuation of the contingent consideration, intangible assets, and working capital. These changes resulted in a net decrease to goodwill of $0.5 million.

ATCO had net sales of approximately $49.4 million and $144.8 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2019.

The following table presents condensed pro forma consolidated results of operations as if the ATCO acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2018. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the operations had actually been combined during the periods presented and is not necessarily indicative of operating results to be expected in future periods. The most significant pro forma adjustments to the historical results of operations relate to the application of purchase accounting and the financing structure.

Die-Mold

On March 31, 2018, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Die-Mold Tool Limited (Die-Mold) for approximately $13.6 million, net of working capital adjustments. The total purchase price consisted of $12.4 million in cash at closing and a contingent consideration arrangement which requires the Company to pay the former owner up to $2.3 million based on EBITDA growth of the acquired business. Die-Mold, based out of Ontario, Canada, is a manufacturer of plastic PEX and other plumbing-related fittings and an integrated designer and manufacturer of plastic injection tooling. The business complements the Company’s existing businesses within the Piping Systems segment.

The fair value of the assets acquired totaled $7.1 million, consisting primarily of property, plant, and equipment of $3.3 million, inventories of $1.8 million, accounts receivable of $1.7 million, and other current assets of $0.3 million. The fair value of the liabilities assumed totaled $2.9 million, consisting primarily of accounts payable of $0.7 million, other current liabilities of $0.2 million, and deferred taxes of $2.0 million. Of the remaining purchase price, $9.4 million was allocated to non-deductible goodwill and intangible assets.

Note 4 – Segment Information

Each of the Company’s reportable segments is composed of certain operating segments that are aggregated primarily by the nature of products offered as follows:
