NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Acquisitions
On September 17, 2013, we announced our intention to acquire the equity that we do not already own in most of our partially-owned United States and Canadian distributors over the next three to five years.
Cummins Western Canada LP
In December 2013, we acquired the remaining 35 percent interest in Cummins Western Canada LP (Western Canada) from the former principal for consideration of approximately $34 million. This entity was previously consolidated and, as a result, the acquisition was not treated as a business combination but as an equity transaction. This acquisition was made in accordance with our planned strategy.
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 beginning 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 year 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 $13 million of the $14 million deferred purchase price was distributed in 2013. The remaining balance is expected to be paid in 2014.

The final purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2013, was as follows:

Cummins Northwest LLC
 
In January 2013, we acquired an additional 29.99 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 beginning 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 year 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 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 beginning 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.

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.
Cummins Central Power LLC
In July 2012, we acquired an additional 45 percent interest in Cummins Central Power LLC (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 beginning 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 Central Power to fair value in accordance with GAAP. Net sales for 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
Exhaust Business
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.
Light-Duty Filtration Business
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 were 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 both of 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.
