1.Acquisitions and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Acquisitions

 

On September 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Pester Marketing Company (“Pester”), a leading distributor, transporter, and blender of branded motor fuels and lubricants to wholesale, industrial, commercial and agricultural customers. Pester is headquartered in Denver, Colorado and is also a leading operator of retail convenience stores in the Rocky Mountain region.

 

In addition to the above acquisition, in September 2015, we completed an acquisition in our aviation segment which was not significant.

 

The estimated aggregate purchase price for the 2015 acquisitions was $80.1 million, and is subject to change based on the final value of the net assets acquired. The following reconciles the estimated aggregate purchase price for the 2015 acquisitions to the cash paid for the acquisitions, net of cash acquired (in millions):

The estimated purchase price of the 2015 acquisitions was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. Since the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the 2015 acquisitions have not been finalized, the allocation of the purchase price of these acquisitions may change. The estimated purchase price allocation for the 2015 acquisitions is as follows (in millions):

In connection with the 2015 acquisitions, we recorded goodwill of $25.4 million of which $2.7 million is anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets consisted of $11.3 million of customer relationships and $4.4 million of other identifiable intangible assets with weighted average lives of 10 years and 9.4 years, respectively, as well as $0.9 million of indefinite-lived trademark/trade name rights.

The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the 2015 acquisitions have been included in our consolidated financial statements since their respective acquisition dates and did not have a significant impact on our revenue and net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

2014 Acquisitions

 

On July 29, 2014, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Colt International, L.L.C. (“Colt”) a leading provider of contract fuel and international trip planning services in the general aviation marketplace. Colt is headquartered in Houston, Texas and offers services at more than 3,000 locations.

 

On March 7, 2014, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Watson Petroleum Limited (now known as WFL (UK) Limited) (“Watson Petroleum”) a leading distributor of gasoline, diesel, heating oil, lubricants and other products and related services. Watson Petroleum is headquartered in Brinkworth, England and is one of the largest fuel distributors in the United Kingdom. 

 

In addition to the above acquisitions, in June 2014, we completed an acquisition in our aviation segment which was not significant.

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies we use for quarterly financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note 1 of the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our 2014 10‑K Report.

 

 

 

Goodwill

 

During the first nine months of 2015, we increased land segment goodwill by $1.0 million as a result of a reduction in identifiable intangible assets and an increase in property and equipment and reduced aviation segment goodwill by $3.8 million as a result of an increase in identifiable intangible assets, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, non-current income tax liabilities, net and a reduction in purchase price based on our ongoing fair value assessment of certain of our 2014 acquisitions. Additionally, we had goodwill decreases of $3.6 million, $1.9 million and $1.7 million as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries in our land, aviation and marine segments, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement – Period Adjustments. In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), to simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination; the amendments eliminate the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments.  The ASU will require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. It also requires that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.  This update is effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year.  We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. In July 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which simplifies the guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory within the scope of this update to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than the lower of cost or market.  This update is effective at the beginning of our 2017 fiscal year.  We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Interest—Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year.  We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.  In February 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year.  We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items: Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. In January 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which eliminates from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States the concept of extraordinary items. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year.  We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Derivatives and Hedging: Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. In November 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which clarifies how current generally accepted accounting principles in the United States should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share.  This update is effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year.  We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.  In August 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which requires management of the Company to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2017 fiscal year. We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have an impact on our financial statement disclosures.

 

Compensation-Stock Compensation. Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. In June 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which includes guidance that requires a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period to be treated as a performance condition. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year. We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Transfers and Servicing: Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.  In June 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing arrangements. It also requires additional disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2015 fiscal year.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

   

Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which provides guidance for revenue recognition for any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States when it becomes effective. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2018 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.  In April 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhances disclosures in this area. It also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2015 fiscal year.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
