NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS

 

      Empire City

 

On January 29, 2019, the Company acquired the real property and operations associated with Empire City for total consideration of approximately $865 million, plus customary working capital and other adjustments (“Empire City Acquisition”). The fair value of consideration paid included the issuance of approximately $266 million of the Company’s common stock, the incurrence of a new bridge facility, and the remaining balance in cash. If Empire City is awarded a license for live table games on or prior to December 31, 2022 and the Company accepts such license by December 31, 2024, the Company will pay additional consideration of $50 million. The acquisition expands the Company’s presence in the northeast region and greater New York City market. Subsequent to the Company’s acquisition, MGP acquired the developed real property associated with Empire City from the Company and Empire City was added to the existing master lease between the Company and MGP. See Note 12 for additional information.

 

The Company recognized 100% of the assets and liabilities of Empire City at fair value on the date of acquisition. Under the acquisition method, the fair value was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction. The Company estimated fair value using both level 2 inputs, which are observable inputs for similar assets, and level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs. The allocation of fair value for substantially all of the assets and liabilities is preliminary and may be adjusted up to one year after the acquisition. Specifically, as of March 31, 2019, the Company is finalizing valuation work related to the assets and liabilities assumed as well as asset classes that comprise the property and equipment acquired.

 

The following table sets forth the preliminary purchase price allocation (in thousands):

 

Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

 

 

 

Property and equipment

$

645,733

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

63,197

 

Racing and gaming license

 

128,000

 

Other intangible assets

 

51,000

 

Goodwill

 

183,312

 

Other assets

Deferred income taxes

 

(145,328

)

Other liabilities

 

(85,689

)

 

$

864,645

 

 

The Company recognized the identifiable intangible assets at fair value. The estimated fair values of the intangible assets were preliminarily determined using methodologies under the income approach based on significant inputs that were not observable. The gaming license and trade name, which is included within other intangibles above, are indefinite-lived intangible assets and the customer lists acquired, included within other intangibles above, is amortized over its estimated useful life of four years. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition.

 

Consolidated results. For the period from January 29, 2019 through March 31, 2019, Empire City’s net revenue was $37 million, operating income was $4 million and net income was $11 million. Pro forma results of operations for the acquisition have not been presented because it is not material to the consolidated results of operations.

 

     Northfield

 

On July 6, 2018, MGP completed its acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of Northfield. The financial results of Northfield have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. As of March 31, 2019, the Company is finalizing valuation work related to the asset classes that comprise the property and equipment acquired.  

 

In April 2019, the Company subsequently acquired the membership interests of Northfield from MGP, and MGP retained the associated real estate assets. MGM Northfield Park was then added to the existing master lease between the Company and MGP. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.
