Note 3 – Acquisitions and Dispositions

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

Studios

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company entered into agreements with franchisees under which the Company repurchased five studios to operate as company-owned studios. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisitions was $390, less $60 of net deferred revenue and deferred costs resulting in total purchase consideration of $330. The following summarizes the aggregate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

 

Property and equipment

 

$

136

 

Reacquired franchise rights

 

 

194

 

Total purchase price

 

$

330

 

 

The fair value of reacquired franchise rights was based on the excess earnings method and are considered to have an approximate five to eight-year life. Inputs used in the methodologies primarily included sales forecasts, projected future cash flows and discount rate commensurate with the risk involved. The acquisition was not material to the results of operations of the Company.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company refranchised 28 company-owned studios for aggregate proceeds of $318 and recorded a loss on disposal of the related assets of $362. The Company is actively seeking to refranchise the remaining company-owned studios. If the Company is not able to refranchise the studios by December 31, 2021, it may choose to close the studios to the extent they are not profitable at that time.

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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded impairment charges of $781, which is a level 3 measurement and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

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 1,300,032 shares of Class A common stock, which were used to fund the acquisition, and are subject to partial forfeiture if certain events occur. Additional units equivalent to 2,024,445 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 complimentary to its portfolio of franchises.

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 following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

 

Goodwill

 

$

8,183

 

Franchise agreements

 

 

10,900

 

Trademark

 

 

1,400

 

Total purchase price

 

$

20,483

 

 

The consideration resulted in goodwill of $8,183, which consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the assets of Rumble with the Company’s franchise servicing operations. The fair values, which are Level 3 measurements, of the recognizable intangible assets are comprised of trademarks and franchise agreements. The fair value of trademarks was estimated by the relief from royalty method and are considered to have a ten-year life. The fair value of the franchise agreements was based on the excess earnings method and are considered to have a ten-year life. Inputs used in the methodologies primarily included sales forecasts, projected future cash flows, royalty rate and discount rate commensurate with the risk involved. The acquisition was not material to the results of operations of the Company.

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 15 for additional information.

Goodwill and intangible assets recognized from this acquisition are not expected to be tax deductible.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $0 and $307, respectively, of transaction costs directly related to the acquisitions, which is included in acquisition and transaction expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
