Acquisitions

Consistent with the Company’s strategy to continue its expansion of pawn stores in selected markets, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company acquired 126 stores in Mexico and three single pawn stores located in the U.S. in four separate transactions. The all-cash aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was $15.5 million, net of cash acquired and subject to future post-closing adjustments. The purchases were composed of $13.4 million in cash paid during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and remaining payables to the sellers of approximately $2.1 million. The purchase price of each acquisition was allocated to assets and liabilities acquired based upon their estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from these acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and the pawn stores acquired. These acquisitions were not material individually or in the aggregate to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
