Note 4. Mergers, Acquisitions and Disposals

4.1 Mergers and acquisitions

The Company has consummated certain mergers and acquisitions during 2021, 2020 and 2019, which were recorded using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of the acquired operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date on which the Company obtained control of the business, as disclosed below. Therefore, the consolidated income statements and the consolidated statements of financial position in the year of such acquisitions are not comparable with previous periods. The consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 show the cash outflow and inflow for the merged and acquired operations net of the cash acquired related to those mergers and acquisitions.

During 2020, the Company completed the acquisition through the controlling interest in NW Synergy Holdings LLC (now Envoy Solutions LLC, or Envoy) of 89.5%, which amounted to Ps. 20,233 fully paid in cash. This acquisition was primarily related to the following: on May 15, 2020, the Company completed the acquisitions of WAXIE and North American, a new platform within the Jan-San, packaging and specialized distribution industry in the United States, operating a network of 26 distribution centers across the country and serving more than 27,000 customers in various industries such as building service contractors, education, government, retail and hospitality, which is included in the Company’s results since May 2020. As a result of the purchase price allocation, which was finalized in 2021, no additional fair value adjustments were recognized.

The final allocation on the aggregated purchase prices to the fair value of the net assets acquired is as follows:

The Company expects to recover the amounts recorded as goodwill through its strategy of creating a national distribution platform in the US, building on FEMSA’s capabilities by leveraging its expertise in the organization and management of supply chains and distribution systems in adjacent businesses. Additionally, this goodwill is deductible for US tax purposes in a period of 15 years.

4.1.1 Other acquisitions

During 2021, the Company (through Envoy Solutions, LLC) completed the acquisition of 100% of Daycon Products, Co. (“Daycon”), Penn Jersey Paper, Co. (“PJP”), Next-Gen Supply Group, Inc. (“Next-Gen”), Johnston Paper Company, Inc. (“Johnston Paper”), and other smaller acquisitions which amounted to Ps. 9,949 fully paid in cash, increasing its specialized distribution footprint in the United States.

Due to the timing of the acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2021, the purchase price allocation is preliminary with respect to the valuation of acquired assets, liabilities assumed (including income taxes), intangible assets, and goodwill. The Company continues to obtain the information to complete the purchase price allocation and will record adjustments, if any, during the 12 month measurement period.

The preliminary allocation on the aggregated purchase prices to the fair value of the net assets acquired is as follows:

(1)Goodwill and intangible assets pending allocation would include customer relationships and trademarks which are expected to be approximately 48% of goodwill and intangible assets pending of allocation.

In 2020, the Company finalized the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for acquisitions completed during the prior year, with no significant variations to the preliminary allocation to the fair value of the net assets acquired, which were included in its audited annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily related to the following: (1) the acquisition of 100% of the Ecuadorian company Corporación Grupo FYBECA S.A.

4.2. Disposals

4.2.1 Specialty’s

Specialty’s was a Café & Bakery business based in California, Washington and Illinois. The COVID-19 pandemic started to expand across the United States in the last weeks of March 2020, which triggered an economic crisis. In this context of this uncertainty and adverse environment, the Company had financial and economic setbacks with significant impacts in sales, as well as its profitability due to the government’s contingency plans for the disease which included mobility restrictions. Therefore, on May 15, 2020, the Company announced its decision to close Specialty’s operations. Such a decision was approved by the Company’s board on the date previously specified. Consequently, on May 26, 2020, the Company’s board approved the filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which was filed on May 27, 2020. As a result of filing under Chapter 7, the Company lost control over this subsidiary and consequently it was deconsolidated. The case is being handled in the California Northern Bankruptcy Court.

The effects in FEMSA’s consolidated income statement in other income and expenses due to Specialty’s closing are the following:
