Acquisition of the Galvanized Pipe and Tube Assets of Marcegaglia USA, Inc.
On July 1, 2018, Bristol Metals, LLC ("BRISMET"), a subsidiary of the Company's Metals Segment, acquired Marcegaglia USA, Inc.'s ("MUSA") galvanized tube assets and operations ("MUSA-Galvanized") located in Munhall, PA. The purpose of the transaction was to enhance the Company's on-going business with additional capacity and technological advantages. The transaction was funded through an increase to the Company's current credit facility (refer to Note 10). The purchase price for the transaction totaled $10,378,281. The assets purchased and liabilities assumed from MUSA include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and accounts payable.
The transaction is being accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under this method, the total consideration transferred to consummate the acquisition is allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. The acquisition method of accounting requires extensive use of estimates and judgments to allocate the consideration transferred to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Because the acquisition closed on July 1, 2018, the allocation of the consideration transferred in the consolidated financial statements is preliminary and will be adjusted upon completion of the final valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such adjustments could be significant. The final valuation is expected to be completed as soon as practicable but no later than twelve months after the closing date of the acquisition.
MUSA will receive quarterly earn-out payments for a period of four years following closing. Earn-out payments will equate to three percent of BRISMET’s galvanized steel pipe and tube revenue. As of July 1, 2018, the Company forecasted earn out payments to be $4,244,939, for which the Company established a fair value of $3,800,298 using a probability-weighted expected return method and a discount rate applicable to future revenue of five percent. In determining the appropriate discount rate to apply to the contingent payments, the risk associated with the functional form of the earn-out, and the credit risk associated with the payment of the earn-out were all considered. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated by applying the probability-weighted expected return method using management's estimates of pounds to be shipped and future price per unit. At September 30, 2018 the fair value of the earn-out totaled $3,453,040 with $960,189 of this liability classified as a current liability since the payments will be made quarterly.
The total purchase price was allocated to the acquired net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of July 1, 2018 for purposes of the consolidated financial statements. These amounts are subject to change based on the results of the final valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are expected to be completed within the twelve months following the acquisition. The fair value assigned to the customer list intangible will be amortized on an accelerated basis over 15 years. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets is reflected as goodwill. Goodwill consists of manufacturing cost synergies expected from combining MUSA-Galvanized's production capabilities with BRISMET's current operations. All of the goodwill recognized was assigned to the Company's Metals Segment and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The preliminary allocation of the total consideration paid to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of July 1, 2018 is as follows:

The pro-forma calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 excludes non-recurring acquisition costs of $180,671 and $666,357, respectively, which were incurred by the Company during 2018. These expenditures included $252,481 for professional fees associated with the preparation of MUSA-Galvanized's historical carved out galvanized financial statements and intangible assets identification and valuation, $132,831 of travel costs, $38,661 of legal fees, $239,065 of closing costs, and $3,319 of miscellaneous other costs. Pro-forma net income was reduced for both years for the amount of amortization on MUSA-Galvanized's customer list intangible and an estimated amount of interest expense associated with the additional line of credit borrowings.
