NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Acquisitions

        In April 2012, we reached an agreement to acquire the doser technology and business assets from Hilite Germany GmbH (Hilite) in a cash transaction. Dosers are products that enable compliance with emission standards in certain aftertreatment systems and complement our current product offerings. The transaction was approved by German regulators in June and closed on July 18, 2012. The purchase price was $176 million and is summarized below. There was no contingent consideration associated with this transaction. During 2012, we expensed approximately $4 million of acquisition related costs.

        The acquisition of Hilite was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity and the goodwill included in the Components operating segment in the third quarter of 2012. The majority of the purchase price was allocated to technology and customer related intangible assets and goodwill, most of which is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. We expect the Hilite acquisition to strengthen our aftertreatment product offerings. This acquisition enhances our technical capabilities and keeps us in a strong position to meet the needs of current customers and grow into new markets, especially as an increasing number of regions around the world adopt tougher emission standards.

        Intangible assets by asset class, including weighted average amortization life, were as follows:

        The purchase price was allocated as follows:

        Net sales for Hilite were $104 million for 2012, of which $46 million was included in our Consolidated Statements of Income and represented less than 1 percent of consolidated sales, and $77 million in 2011.

        In July 2012, we acquired an additional 45 percent interest in Cummins Central Power from the former principal for consideration of approximately $20 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity included in the Distribution operating segment in the third quarter of 2012. Distribution segment results also included a $7 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 35 percent ownership interest in Cummins Central Power to fair value in accordance with GAAP. Net sales for Cummins Central Power were $242 million in 2012, of which $115 million was included in our Consolidated Statements of Income and represented less than 1 percent of consolidated sales, and $209 million in 2011.

Divestitures

        In the second quarter of 2011, we sold certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business which manufactures exhaust products and select components for emission systems for a variety of applications not core to our other product offerings. This business was historically included in our Components segment. The sales price was $123 million. We recognized a gain on the sale of $68 million ($37 million after-tax), which included a goodwill allocation of $19 million. The gain was excluded from segment results as it was not considered in our evaluation of operating results for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        Sales for this business were $62 million and $171 million in 2011 (through closing) and 2010, respectively. Income before income taxes for this business were approximately $9 million and $22 million in 2011 (through closing) and 2010, respectively.

        During the fourth quarter of 2011, we sold certain assets and liabilities of our light-duty filtration business which manufactures light-duty automotive and industrial filtration solutions. The sales price was $90 million and included a note receivable from the buyer of approximately $1 million. There are no earnouts or other contingencies associated with the sales price. We recognized a gain on the sale of $53 million ($33 million after-tax), which included a goodwill allocation of $6 million. The gain was excluded from segment results as it was not considered in our evaluation of operating results for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        Sales for this business were $64 million and $74 million in 2011 (through closing) and 2010, respectively. Income before income taxes for this business were approximately $13 million and $9 million in 2011 (through closing) and 2010, respectively.

        In the second quarter of 2012, we recorded an additional $6 million gain ($4 million after-tax) related to final purchase price adjustments for our 2011 divestitures. The gain was excluded from segment results as it was not considered in our evaluation of operating results for the year ended December 31, 2012.
