Acquisitions | Acquisitions 2023 Acquisitions During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company acquired additional Freedom Boat Club franchise operations and territories in the Southeast United States. These acquisitions should unlock operational efficiencies while providing members with additional boating destinations, as the Company plans for continued expansion across the Southeast Coastal region. These acquisitions are included as part of the Company's Boat segment. The Company paid net cash consideration of $16.0 million for these acquisitions. The opening balance sheets, which are preliminary and subject to change in the measurement period as the Company finalizes the purchase price allocation and fair value estimates, include $14.0 million of goodwill and $3.3 million of customer relationships. The amount assigned to customer relationships will be amortized over the estimated useful life of 10 years. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions were not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations. On September 1, 2023, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fliteboard Pty Ltd (Fliteboard) for $87.6 million net cash consideration. Fliteboard is a leader in eFoiling technology, which combines advanced hydrofoils and electric propulsion on the water. The acquisition of Fliteboard allows the Company to enter the emerging electric-foiling surfboard market and presents the opportunity for technological, manufacturing, commercial and consumer synergies with our existing portfolio. Fliteboard is included as part of the Company's Propulsion segment. The opening balance sheet, which is preliminary and subject to change in the measurement period as the Company finalizes the purchase price allocation and fair value estimates, includes $38.5 million of goodwill, $20.7 million of trade names, $8.4 million of customer relationships, and $7.1 million of developed technology. The amounts assigned to customer relationships and developed technology will be amortized over the estimated useful lives of 15 years and 10 years, respectively. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of $1.9 million were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expense. These 2023 acquisitions are not material to the Company's net sales, results of operations or total assets during any period presented. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated results of operations do not differ materially from historical performance as a result of the acquisitions, and pro forma results for prior periods are not presented. 2022 Acquisitions During the second quarter of 2022, the Company acquired certain Freedom Boat Club franchise operations and territory rights as well as certain marine assets in the Southeast United States. These acquisitions enable opportunities across a wide spectrum, building upon the growth Brunswick has cultivated throughout the Company's shared access portfolio and new digital platforms. These acquisitions are included as part of the Company's Boat segment. The Company paid net cash consideration of $93.9 million for these acquisitions. The opening balance sheets include $71.4 million of goodwill and $11.9 million of customer relationships. The amount assigned to customer relationships will be amortized over the estimated useful life of 10 years. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions of $1.4 million were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expense in 2022. The acquisitions are not material to the Company's net sales, results of operations or total assets during any period presented. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated results of operations do not differ materially from historical performance as a result of the acquisitions, and pro forma results for prior periods are not presented. Purchase accounting is final for these acquisitions. 2021 Acquisitions - Navico On October 4, 2021, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Marine Innovations Group AS, known as "Navico", for $1.094 billion net cash consideration. The Company used a combination of the 2024 and 2031 Notes, as described in Note 14 – Debt, and cash on hand to fund the acquisition. Navico was a privately held global company based in Egersund, Norway, and is a global leader in marine electronics and sensors, including multi-function displays, fish finders, autopilots, sonar, radar and cartography. The acquisition of Navico accelerates the Company's ACES (Autonomy, Connectivity, Electrification and Shared access) strategy and strengthens the Company's ability to provide complete, innovative digital solutions to consumers and comprehensive, integrated system offerings to our original equipment manufacturer customers. Navico is managed as part of the Company's Navico Group segment. The Company used the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with Brunswick being the acquiring entity, and reflecting estimates and assumptions deemed appropriate by Company management. Transaction costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expense and totaled $1.0 million and $13.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The net sales and operating loss, respectively, of Navico included in Brunswick's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition through December 31, 2021 was $120.4 million and $7.4 million, which includes $9.0 million of expense related to inventory fair value adjustments and $5.8 million of intangible asset amortization.
