NOTE 14. ACQUISITIONS
On February 7, 2022, we purchased Westport Fuel System Inc.'s stake in the Cummins Westport Joint Venture. We will continue to operate the business as the sole owner. The purchase price was $42 million and was allocated primarily to cash, warranty and deferred revenue related to extended coverage contracts. The results of the business were reported in our Engine segment. Pro forma financial information for the acquisition was not presented as the effects are not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On April 8, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Jacobs Vehicle Systems business (Jacobs) from Altra Industrial Motion Corp. Sales of this business were $194 million in 2021. The purchase price was $346 million in cash, subject to typical adjustments related to closing working capital and other amounts and does not contain any contingent consideration. Jacobs is a supplier of engine braking, cylinder deactivation and start and stop thermal management technologies. The acquisition furthers our investment in key technologies and capabilities to drive growth, while securing our supply base. The preliminary purchase price allocation was as follows:
In millions
Cash $ 18 
Accounts receivable 24 
Inventory 15 
Fixed assets 70 
Intangible assets
Customer relationships 108 
Technology 31 
Trade name 25 
Goodwill 108 
Accounts payable (21)
Deferred tax liability, net (27)
Other, net (5)
Total purchase price $ 346 
Customer relationship assets represent the value of the long-term strategic relationship the business has with its significant customers, which we are amortizing over nine years. The assets were valued using an income approach, specifically the "multi-period excess earnings" method, which identifies an estimated stream of revenues and expenses for a particular group of assets from which deductions of portions of the projected economic benefits, attributable to assets other than the subject asset (contributory assets), are deducted in order to isolate the prospective earnings of the subject asset. This value is considered a level 3 measurement under the GAAP fair value hierarchy. Key assumptions used in the valuation of customer relationships include: (1) a rate of return of 18 percent and (2) renewal probability assumptions. Technology assets primarily represent the associated patents and know how related to the engine braking and emission technology, which we are amortizing over a range of 7 to 12 years. Trade name represents the value of Jacobs trade names in the marketplace, which we are amortizing over 14 years. These assets were valued using the "relief-from-royalty" method, which is a combination of both the income approach and market approach that values a subject asset based on an estimate of the "relief" from the royalty expense that would be incurred if the subject asset were licensed from a third party. Key assumptions impacting these values include: (1) market royalty rates of 2 to 7 percent, (2) rates of return of 17 to 18 percent and (3) technology obsolescence of 7 to 10 percent. These values are considered a level 3 measurement under the GAAP fair value hierarchy. Annual amortization of the intangible assets for the next five years is expected to approximate $18 million.
Goodwill was determined based on the residual difference between the fair value of consideration transferred and the value assigned to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Approximately $9 million of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Among the factors contributing to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill are Jacob’s expected future customers, new versions of technologies, an acquired workforce and other economic benefits that are anticipated to arise from future product sales and operational synergies from combining the business with Cummins.
Included in our second quarter results were revenues of $37 million and income of $2 million related to this business. The results of this business were reported in our Components segment. Pro forma financial information for the acquisition was not presented as the effects are not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On February 21, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Meritor, Inc. (Meritor) and Rose NewCo Inc. (Merger Sub) pursuant to which we agreed to acquire Meritor, a global leader of drivetrain, mobility, braking, aftermarket and electric powertrain solutions for commercial vehicle and industrial markets. At closing, Merger Sub will merge into Meritor with Meritor as the surviving entity and becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary. This acquisition will be reported in our Components and New Power segments. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we agreed to pay $36.50 in cash per share of Meritor common stock.
On May 26, 2022, Meritor's shareholders voted to approve the Merger Agreement. On August 3, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Meritor with a purchase price of $3.0 billion (including convertible debt). We repaid $250 million of Meritor's debt as part of the acquisition, and we intend to pay off an additional $310 million in the third quarter of 2022. The acquisition was funded with borrowings drawn under the $2.0 billion term loan agreement and $1.3 billion of additional commercial paper borrowings. The integration of Meritor's people, products and capabilities in axle and brake technology will position us as a leading provider of integrated powertrain solutions across internal combustion and electric power applications. See NOTE 16, “SUBSEQUENT EVENTS,” for additional information related to the $2.0 billion loan agreement. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the initial purchase accounting is not yet complete and will follow in the third quarter Form 10-Q filing.
