5. | Acquisitions and Other Investments
Acquisitions 2018 Avis and Budget Licensees In 2018, the Company completed the acquisitions of various licensees in Europe and North America, for approximately $31 million, net of cash. These investments were in line with the Company’s strategy to re-acquire licensees when advantageous to expand its footprint of Company-operated locations. The acquired fleet was financed under the Company’s existing financing arrangements. In connection with these acquisitions, approximately $36 million was recorded in license agreements. The license agreements are being amortized over a weighted average useful life of approximately two years. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized and is therefore subject to change. Morini S.p.A. In July 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Morini S.p.A. (”Morini”) for €35 million (approximately $40 million), net of acquired cash, plus potential earn-out payments of €5 million (approximately $6 million) based on Morini’s performance over the next two years. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company paid €28 million (approximately $32 million). The remainder of the purchase price will be paid during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The investment enabled the Company to expand its footprint of vehicle rental services in Northern Italy. The excess of the purchase price over preliminary fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, which was assigned to the Company’s International reportable segment. In connection with this acquisition, approximately $21 million was recorded in goodwill, $19 million was recorded in license agreements, $3 million was recorded in customer relationships and $3 million related to trademarks was recorded in other intangibles. The license agreements, customer relationships and trademarks are being amortized over a weighted average useful life of approximately 14 years. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not been finalized and is therefore subject to change. Other Investments In March 2018, the Company made an initial equity investment of €15 million ($19 million) in its licensee in Greece (“Greece”), for a 20% ownership stake. In connection with this investment, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase an additional 20% equity interest, 10% in March 2019 and 10% in March 2020, for €15 million. In June 2018, the Company completed its purchase of the additional 20% equity investment for €16 million ($18 million), including an acceleration premium, and as of June 30, 2018, had a 40% ownership stake in Greece. The Company’s equity investment is recorded within other non-current assets. The Company’s share of Greece’s results are reported within operating expenses and are $7 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
