Note 3 – Acquisitions and Dispositions

The Company completed the following acquisitions and dispositions which contain Level 3 fair value measurements related to the recognition of goodwill and intangibles.

Studios

On June 5, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to purchase 14 studios to operate as company-owned transition studios from the original founder sellers of the Rumble brand, which was acquired by the Company in 2021, (the “Rumble Sellers”) and were franchisees and shareholders of the Company. This acquisition is expected to enhance the operational performance of the 14 Rumble studios as the Company prepares them to be licensed to new franchisees. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the assets acquired to be recorded at their respective fair value as of the date of the transaction. The Company also entered into a mutual termination agreement with the Rumble Sellers to terminate their existing franchise agreements, resulting in cash received and a gain of $3,500, which is included within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, consideration for the acquisition included $1, which was recorded as a reduction to receivable from shareholder. The Company also agreed to assume liabilities aggregating $1,450, which is expected to be reimbursed to the Company upon the sale of XPO Inc. common stock owned by the Rumble Sellers. In connection with the transaction, the Company wrote down intangible assets related to franchise agreements, net of reacquired franchise rights, in the amount of $7,238 (see Note 7). The Company determined the estimated fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed after review and consideration of relevant information as of the acquisition date. The fair values are based on management's estimates and assumptions, which include Level 3 unobservable inputs, and are determined using generally accepted valuation techniques.

The resulting goodwill is primarily attributable to synergies from the integration of studios, increased expansion for market opportunities and the expansion of studio membership and is expected to be tax deductible. The fair value of the property and equipment was based on the replacement cost method. The fair value of the right of use assets was determined using the income approach. The deferred revenue represents prepaid classes and class packages. The Company will recognize revenue over time as the members attend and utilize the classes. The fair value of the reacquired franchise rights after termination of the existing franchise agreements was based on the excess earnings method and is considered to have an eight-year life. The acquisition was not material to the results of operations of the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with a franchisee under which the Company repurchased one studio to operate as a company-owned transition studio. The purchase price for the acquisition was $164, less $8 of net deferred revenue and deferred costs resulting in total purchase consideration of $156. The following summarizes the aggregate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The fair value of reacquired franchise rights was based on the excess earnings method and is considered to have an approximate six-year life. The acquisition was not material to the results of operations of the Company.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company refranchised operations at 79, 21, and 53 company-owned transition studios, respectively, received proceeds of $60, $0, and $433 respectively, and recorded a net loss of $635, $0, and $483 on disposal of the studio assets, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company also ceased operations at 22, 0, and 0 company-owned transition studios, respectively. The Company is actively seeking to refranchise or close company-owned transition studios under its restructuring plan that started in the third quarter of 2023. See Note 18 for further discussion of the Company's restructuring plan.

When the Company believes that a studio will be refranchised for a price less than its carrying value, but does not believe the studio has met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company reviews the studio for impairment. The Company evaluates the recoverability of the studio assets by comparing estimated sales proceeds plus holding period cash flows, if any, to the carrying value of the studio. For studio assets that are not deemed to be recoverable, the Company recognizes impairment for any excess of carrying value over the fair value of the studios, which is based on the expected net sales proceeds.

On December 31, 2023, the Company entered into agreements to sell six Rumble company-owned transition studios (the “Rumble Held for Sale Studios”). The transactions are expected to close during the first quarter of 2024. These agreements triggered the reclassification of Rumble Held for Sale Studios to assets held for sale. Based on the expected net sales proceeds the Company determined the Rumble Held for Sale Studios to be fully impaired and recognized an impairment of $2,190, within impairment of goodwill and other assets, for studio assets during the year ended December 31, 2023, consisting of property and equipment of $985 and reacquired franchise assets of $1,205. See Note 7 for discussion of goodwill impairment related to the Rumble Held for Sale Studios.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, included within impairment of goodwill and other assets, the Company recorded $0 and $781 of impairment charges related to studio assets, respectively, which is a Level 3 measurement. See Note 9 for discussion of impairment charges related to right-of-use assets during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Xponential Procurement Services Acquisition

On December 29, 2023, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with C&R Components, LLC (the “Seller”) whereby the Company acquired 100% of the membership rights in Xponential Procurement Services, LLC (“XPS”) from the Seller. The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquisition was $9,930. The purchase price consisted of cash consideration of $3,467 and a promissory note with a fair value of $6,463 payable in two equal installments due on July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2025. The current portion of the promissory note is included in other current liabilities and the non-current portion is included in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

XPS specializes in the custom manufacturing of display cases, engraved wood signs, point of sale displays, custom acrylic panels, and other products. Prior to the acquisition, the Company was XPS's sole customer. The acquisition contributes to the Company’s vertical integration of its product offerings to its franchisees.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the assets acquired to be recorded at their respective fair value as of the date of the transaction. The Company determined the estimated fair values after review and consideration of relevant information as of the acquisition date, including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and estimates made by management. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired are based on management's estimates and assumptions. The acquisition was not material to the results of operations of the Company.

The goodwill recognized in this acquisition was attributable to the synergies that the Company expects to achieve. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized from this acquisition are expected to be tax deductible.

BodyFit Trademark

In the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into a Trademark Acquisition Agreement with Vitalize, LLC dba Bodybuilding.com (the “Seller”) whereby the Company acquired all rights, titles, and interests in and to the BodyFit trademark in the United States. The acquisition was recorded as an asset acquisition. The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquisition was $10,300. The purchase price consisted of $5,500 of cash consideration and $4,800 of noncash consideration, which was recorded as a contract liability. The noncash consideration relates to signing of a brand fee agreement (as defined in Note 4) where the Seller has access to the Company's franchisees to sell its products to franchisees over the term of the agreement. The fair value of the trademark was determined using the relief from royalty method and is considered to have a 10-year life. The fair value of the contract liability was determined using the total fair value of the asset acquired reduced by the amount of cash consideration provided, which is a Level 3 measurement. The Trademark Acquisition Agreement is subject to termination due to a third-party right of first refusal. The likelihood of exercise of the right of first refusal was considered remote as of December 31, 2023.

BFT

On October 13, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with GRPX Live Pty Ltd., an Australian corporation, and its affiliates (the “Seller”) whereby the Company acquired certain assets relating to the concept and brand known as BFT™. Assets acquired include franchise rights, brand, intellectual property and the rights to manage and license the franchise business (the “Franchise System”). The Company also assumed certain contingent liabilities associated with the purchased assets and provided certain indemnifications to the Seller. This acquisition is expected to enhance the Company’s franchise offerings and provide a platform for future growth, which the Company believes is complementary to its portfolio of franchises.

Consideration for the transaction included cash of $60,000 AUD ($44,322 USD based on the currency exchange rate as of the purchase date). In addition, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration to the Seller consisting of quarterly cash payments based on the sales of the Franchise System and equipment packages in the U.S. and Canada, as well as a percentage of royalties collected by the Company, provided that aggregate minimum payments of $5,000 AUD (approximately $3,694 USD based on the currency exchange rate as of the purchase date) are required to be paid to the Seller for the two-year period ending December 31, 2023. The aggregate amount of such payments is subject to a maximum of $14,000 AUD (approximately $10,342 USD based on the currency exchange rate as of the purchase date). At the acquisition date, the Company determined that the fair value of the estimated contingent consideration liability was $9,388. See Note 17 for additional information.

In addition, the Company entered into a Master Franchise Agreement (“MFA”) with an affiliate of the Seller (the “Master Franchisee”), pursuant to which the Company granted the Master Franchisee the master franchise rights for the BFTTM brands in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. In exchange, the Company will receive certain fees and royalties, including a percentage of the revenue generated by the Master Franchisee under the MFA. The MFA contains an option for the Company to repurchase the master franchise rights granted under the MFA in 2024 at a purchase price based on the Master Franchisee’s EBITDA. If the Company (or a designee of the Company) does not exercise the option pursuant to the terms of the MFA, then the Company might be required to pay a cancellation fee to the Master Franchisee which might be material to the Company. If the Master Franchisee rejects an offer to repurchase the franchise rights, then the cancellation fee is not required to be paid. The Company believes the likelihood of a cancellation fee payment being required is remote as of December 31, 2023, and, therefore, no accrual has been recorded.

At the acquisition date, there were certain claims and lawsuits against the Seller for which the Company agreed to indemnify the Seller. See Note 17 for additional information.

As a part of the purchase accounting, the Company did not record any liability for the potential cancelation fee (which was evaluated in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations) and potential legal indemnification liability (which was evaluated in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies).

Rumble

On March 24, 2021, the Parent entered into a contribution agreement with Rumble Holdings LLC; Rumble Parent LLC and Rumble Fitness LLC (the “Selling Parties”) to acquire the franchise rights, brand, intellectual property and the rights to manage and license the “Rumble” franchise business. The Parent issued shares of the Parent’s Class A units equivalent to 1,300 shares of Class A common stock, which were used to fund the acquisition. Additional units equivalent to 2,024 shares of Class A common stock were issued to the Selling Parties, which units will vest if share prices ranging from $50.62 to $75.56 are met, or if the Company or the Parent has a change of control. In connection with the contribution agreement, the Parent agreed to provide up to $20,000 in debt financing to the Selling Parties. See Note 8 for additional information. The Parent contributed all assets acquired from the Selling Parties to XPO LLC. The fair value of all the Parent’s Class A units issued to the Selling Parties was determined to be $20,483 and is a Level 3 measurement. The Company estimated the value of the Parent’s shares using Level 3 input factors including the fair value of the acquired entity, negotiated values with the sellers of the acquired entity, recent equity recapitalizations of the Parent, comparable industry transactions, adjusted EBITDA multiples ranging from 15 to 18 and the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units.

The Selling Parties are engaged in the business of operating fitness studios under the “Rumble” name which offer their customers boxing-inspired group fitness classes under the “Rumble” trade name, in addition to offering at home on-demand and live workouts on Rumble TV. The Company will also offer its customers related ancillary products and services related to this concept. The transaction terms include purchasing exclusive rights to establish and operate franchises under the “Rumble” trade name and use certain related assets for the purpose of establishing a franchise system. This acquisition is expected to enhance the Company’s franchise offerings and provide a platform for future growth, which the Company believes is complementary to its portfolio of franchises.

In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, the Parent merged with and into XPO Holdings. As a result, the shares issued to Rumble Holdings LLC, are treated as a liability on the Company's balance sheet instead of equity and are therefore subject to a quarterly fair value remeasurement on a mark-to-market basis as a derivative liability. The contingent consideration liability recorded at the IPO date was $23,100. See Note 17 for additional information.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $969, $0 and $978, respectively, of transaction costs related to acquisitions, which is included in acquisition and transaction expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Pro forma financial information and revenue from the date of acquisition have not been provided for these acquisitions as they are not material either individually or in the aggregate.
