Reasons for the acquisitions

Reasons for the acquisition are outlined on page 7 of this report.

Details of contingent consideration

The contingent consideration requires the group to pay the vendors an additional total amount of R102 million over a period of six to 24 months if the entity’s net profit after tax exceeds certain profit targets. The contingent consideration liability pertaining to Surgipharm was paid during the year.

Acquisition costs

Acquisition costs for business acquisitions concluded during the year for continuing operations amounted to R2 million (Motus: R6 million) and have been recognised as an expense in profit or loss in the ‘Other non-operating items’ line.

Separate identifiable intangible assets

As at the acquisition date, the fair value of the separately identifiable intangible assets for Surgipharm was R191 million and Arco was R42 million. This fair value, which is classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method (MEEM) valuation technique for contract-based intangible assets and the relief-from-royalty method for the brand name.

The significant unobservable valuation inputs were as follows:

  Surgipharm
%
  Arco
%
 
Brand name/trademark        
– Discount rates 17,4   16,9  
– Royalty rate 0,8   1,8  
Contract-based intangible assets        
– Weighted average discount rates 15,0 – 15,8   14,5 – 14,9  
– Terminal growth rates 5,6   2,0  

The assumptions used in arriving at projected cash flows were based on past experience and adjusted for any expected changes.

Other details

Trade and other receivables acquired by Logistics had gross contractual amounts of R382 million of which R68 million were doubtful. The Motus acquisition had gross contractual receivables of R526 million with R7 million as doubtful. Non-controlling interests have been calculated based on their proportionate share in the acquiree’s net assets. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
