Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
ACQUISITIONS | ACQUISITIONS The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting, under which the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on an estimate of fair value. Prime Acquisition In November 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of the Prime Automotive Group (“Prime”), including 28 dealerships, certain real estate and three collision centers in the Northeastern U.S. (collectively referred to as the “Prime Acquisition”), for aggregate consideration of $934.2 million. The Company analyzed and assessed all available information related to property and equipment and property lease contracts, determining the preliminary fair values established in 2021 were appropriate and no material adjustments were recorded to these fair values in the year ended December 31, 2022 upon finalization of the purchase price allocation. The Company previously recorded a $33.4 million deposit for the purchase of an additional dealership as part of the Prime Acquisition, which had not closed as of December 31, 2021. P ursuant to the purchase agreement with the seller, the seller initiated legal action against the distributor to compel the approval of the sale of the dealership. In March 2022, upon the contractual release of funds from escrow to the seller related to the dealership, the deposit was recognized as additional consideration paid and reflected as additional goodwill, resulting in total consideration associated with the Prime Acquisition of $967.6 million. In October 2023, the Company closed on the acquisition of the remaining Prime dealership after settlement of legal action with the distributor which had opposed the acquisition. The previously recorded goodwill of $33.4 million was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired dealership. The accounting for the acquisition is considered to be preliminary and subject to change as the Company’s fair value assessments are finalized. The Company is continuing to analyze and assess relevant information related to the valuation of equipment and intangible assets. The Company will reflect any required fair value adjustments in subsequent periods. The results of the Prime Acquisition are included in the U.S. segment. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. The following table summarizes the consideration paid and aggregate amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 31, 2022 (in millions):
