In the first quarter of 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of Alliance USAcqCo2, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, (“Ventev”) for approximately $73 million, net of cash acquired, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Ventev is a leading manufacturer and provider of a complete ecosystem of solutions to power, protect, and connect wireless networks. The Ventev business has been added to the Electrical Solutions segment.

This business acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination and has resulted in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill relates to a number of factors implied in the purchase price, including the future earnings and cash flow potential of the business as well as the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies that such business acquisition brings to the Company’s existing operations. The goodwill related to the Ventev acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

The following table presents the preliminary determination of the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Company's acquisition of Ventev. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the applicable one year measurement period as required by FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” As the Company finalizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional purchase price adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period. Fair value estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the Company's results of operations and financial position. The finalization of the purchase accounting assessment may result in a change in the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and may have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

In December 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its residential lighting business for a cash purchase price of $131 million, subject to customary adjustments.

The transaction closed in the first quarter of 2024 and the Company recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale of $5.3 million, which is recorded within Total other expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

Income from the TSA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $0.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and was recorded in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
