NOTE 19 — ACQUISITIONS

Astronics Test Systems

On February 28, 2014, our wholly owned subsidiary, ATS, purchased substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Test and Services Division of EADS North America, Inc. for approximately $69.4 million in cash, including a net working capital adjustment of approximately $16.4 million. Located in Irvine, California, ATS is a leading provider of highly-engineered automatic test systems, subsystems and instruments for the semi-conductor, consumer electronics, commercial aerospace and defense industries. ATS provides fully customized testing systems and support services for these markets. It also designs and manufactures test equipment under the test instrument brands known as Racal and Talon. The acquisition strengthens our service offerings and expertise in the test market. This subsidiary is included in our Test Systems segment. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition has been finalized. Purchased intangible assets are deductible for tax purposes.

The allocation of the purchase price based on appraised fair values is as follows (in thousands):

PGA Electronic S.A.

On December 5, 2013, we acquired 100% of the stock of PGA, a designer and manufacturer of seat motion and lighting systems primarily for business and first class aircraft seats and is Europe’s leading provider of in-flight entertainment/ communication systems as well as cabin management systems for private VVIP aircraft. The addition of PGA further diversifies the products and technologies that Astronics offers. The purchase price was approximately $31.3 million for which approximately $9.1 million, net of cash acquired, was paid in cash and the balance paid with 264,168 shares of Astronics stock valued at $51.00 per share. PGA is included in our Aerospace reporting segment. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition is complete.

Astronics AeroSat Corporation

On October 1, 2013, we acquired certain assets and liabilities from AeroSat Corporation and related entities, a supplier of aircraft antenna systems for $12 million in cash, plus the a potential additional purchase consideration of up to $53 million based upon the achievement of certain revenue targets in 2014 and 2015. The addition of AeroSat further diversifies the products and technologies that Astronics offers. The additional contingent purchase consideration was recorded at its estimated fair value of approximately $5.0 million at the date of acquisition based upon the Company’s assessment of the probability of AeroSat achieving the revenue growth targets. Substantially all of the goodwill and purchased intangible assets are expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. AeroSat is included in our Aerospace reporting segment. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition is complete.

Peco, Inc.

On July 18, 2013, we acquired 100% of the stock of Peco, Inc. which designs and manufacturers highly engineered commercial aerospace interior components and systems for the aerospace industry. The company specializes in passenger service units (“PSUs”) which incorporate air handling, emergency oxygen, electrical power management and cabin lighting systems. It also manufactures a wide range of fuel access doors that meet stringent strength, fuel sealing and anti-corrosion requirements. The addition of Peco diversifies the products and technologies that Astronics offers. We purchased the outstanding stock of Peco for $136.0 million in cash. Peco’s unaudited 2013 revenue prior to the acquisition date was approximately $46.2 million. Peco is included in our Aerospace reporting segment. Purchased intangible assets and goodwill are not deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition is complete.

Adjustments made to the preliminary purchase price valuation for the 2013 and 2014 acquisitions during the respective measurement periods were not material.

The following is a summary of the sales and amounts included in income from operations for Peco included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the consolidated results of operations of the Company with those of Peco as if the acquisition took place on January 1, 2012. The pro forma consolidated results include the impact of certain adjustments, including increased interest expense on acquisition debt, amortization of purchased intangible assets and income taxes.

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been in effect for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. In addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results.

Max-Viz, Inc.

On July 30, 2012 we acquired, by merger, 100% of the stock of Max-Viz, Inc., a manufacturer of industry-leading Enhanced Vision Systems for defense and commercial aerospace applications for the purpose of improving situational awareness. We purchased the outstanding stock of Max-Viz for $10.7 million in cash plus contingent purchase consideration up to a maximum of $8.0 million subject to meeting certain revenue growth targets over the next three years. Max-Viz is included in our Aerospace reporting segment. The fair value estimate of the contingent consideration at December 31, 2014 is zero as it is not probable that the revenue growth targets will be achieved. Substantially all of the goodwill and purchased intangible assets are expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition is complete.
