ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES  

Cummins Rocky Mountain LLC
 
In May 2013, we acquired the remaining 67 percent interest in Cummins Rocky Mountain LLC (Rocky Mountain) from the former principal for consideration of approximately $62 million in cash and an additional $74 million in cash paid to creditors to eliminate all debt related to the entity.  The purchase price was approximately $136 million as presented below.  The intangible assets are primarily customer related and are being amortized over periods ranging from one to four years.  The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity included in the Distribution operating segment in the second quarter of 2013.
 
Distribution segment results also included a $5 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 33 percent ownership interest in Rocky Mountain to fair value in accordance with GAAP.  Net sales for Rocky Mountain were $384 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2012.  This amount is not fully incremental to Cummins Inc. as the amount would be reduced by the elimination of sales to the previously unconsolidated entity. Approximately $11 million of the $14 million deferred purchase price was distributed in the third quarter of 2013. The remaining balance is expected to be paid in future quarters.

Cummins Northwest LLC
 
In January 2013, we acquired an additional 50 percent interest in Cummins Northwest LLC (Northwest) from the former principal for consideration of approximately $18 million.   We formed a new partnership with a new distributor principal.  We owned 79.99 percent of Northwest and the new distributor principal owned 20.01 percent. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity included in the Distribution segment in the first quarter of 2013.  Distribution segment results also included a $7 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 50 percent ownership interest in Northwest to fair value in accordance with GAAP.  The transaction generated $3 million of goodwill.  Net sales for Northwest were $137 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2012.  This amount is not fully incremental to Cummins Inc. as the amount would be reduced by the elimination of sales to the previously unconsolidated entity.

In July 2013, we acquired the remaining 20.01 percent from the former distributor principal for an additional $4 million. Since the entity was already consolidated, this was accounted for as an equity transaction.
 
Hilite Germany GmbH

In July 2012, we purchased 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 purchase price was $176 million and is summarized below. There was no contingent consideration associated with this transaction. During the first nine months of 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 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 was 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.

Cummins Central Power

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 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 $209 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2011. This amount is not fully incremental to Cummins Inc. as the amount would be reduced by the elimination of sales to the previously unconsolidated entity.

Divestitures

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 nine months ended September 30, 2012.
