Williamson-Dickie

On October 2, 2017, VF acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Williamson-Dickie Mfg. Co. (“Williamson-Dickie”) for $800.7 million in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The purchase price was primarily funded with short-term borrowings. During the three months ended March 2018, the purchase consideration was reduced by $2.3 million associated with the final working capital adjustment, resulting in a revised purchase price of $798.4 million. No additional adjustments have been made since that date, and the purchase price allocation was finalized during the three months ended September 2018.
Williamson-Dickie was a privately held company based in Ft. Worth, Texas, and was one of the largest companies in the workwear sector with a portfolio of brands including Dickies®, Workrite®, Kodiak®, Terra® and Walls®. The acquisition of Williamson-Dickie brings together complementary assets and capabilities, and creates a workwear business that will now serve an even broader set of consumers and industries around the world.
For the three and six months ended September 2018, Williamson-Dickie contributed revenues of $252.8 million and $471.9 million, respectively, and net income of $18.5 million and $33.3 million, respectively.

The goodwill is attributable to the acquired workforce of Williamson-Dickie and the significant synergies expected to arise as a result of the acquisition. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Work segment and $52.3 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The Dickies®, Kodiak®, Terra® and Walls® trademarks, which management determined to have indefinite lives, have been valued at $316.1 million. The Workrite® trademark, valued at $0.8 million, is being amortized over three years.
Amortizable intangible assets have been assigned values of $78.6 million for customer relationships and $2.3 million for distribution agreements. Customer relationships are being amortized using an accelerated method over periods ranging from 10-13 years. Distribution agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over four years.
Total transaction expenses for the Williamson-Dickie acquisition were $15.0 million, all of which were recognized in the year ended December 30, 2017 in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying VF’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Williamson-Dickie to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets had been applied from January 3, 2016, with related tax effects.
Pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of VF’s operating results if the acquisition had been effected at the date indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results. Amounts do not include any marketing leverage, operating efficiencies or cost savings that VF believes are achievable.
Icebreaker

On April 3, 2018, VF acquired 100% of the stock of Icebreaker Holdings Limited ("Icebreaker") for NZ$274.4 million ($198.5 million) in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments.

The purchase price decreased NZ$1.3 million ($0.9 million) and NZ$2.3 million ($1.6 million) during the three and six months ended September 2018, respectively, related to working capital adjustments, resulting in a revised purchase price of NZ$272.1 million ($197.0 million).
Icebreaker was a privately held company based in Auckland, New Zealand. Icebreaker®, the primary brand, specializes in high-performance apparel based on natural fibers, including Merino wool, plant-based fibers and recycled fibers. It is an ideal complement to VF's Smartwool® brand, which also features Merino wool in its clothing and accessories. Together, the Smartwool® and Icebreaker® brands will position VF as a global leader in the Merino wool and natural fiber categories.
For the three and six months ended September 2018, Icebreaker contributed revenues of $53.7 million and $79.4 million, respectively, representing 1.4% and 1.2% of VF's revenues in the respective periods. Icebreaker contributed net income of $7.0 million and $6.2 million in the three and six months ended September 2018, respectively, representing 1.4% and 0.9% of VF's net income in the respective periods.
The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change for certain income tax matters. Accordingly, further adjustments may be made to the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
