4. BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS
The acquisition furthers the Group’s strategy of continued expansion of its wholesale
business and acquiring a manufacturing facility in South America. The goodwill of
Euro 88.8 million from the acquisition mainly reflects (i) a reduction in custom duties and
transportation costs and more rapid and direct access to the Brazilian market, (ii) the
Tecnol qualified workforce which possesses the know-how necessary to quickly apply the
production processes developed by the Group and (iii) the benefit of Tecnol’s existing
wholesale and distribution channels.
The Company uses various methods to calculate the fair value of the Tecnol assets acquired
and the liabilities assumed. The purchase accounting for the transactions was completed
as of December 31, 2012.
