2021 Acquisitions

Golden Skybridge

On March 18, 2021, we acquired a 60% controlling interest in the Golden Skybridge attraction for total cash consideration of $15 million Canadian dollars (approximately $12 million U.S. dollars), of which $6 million Canadian dollars (approximately $4.8 million U.S. dollars) will be used to fund remaining development and start-up costs. The Golden Skybridge is expected to open in June 2021.

The preliminary recording of the fair value of net assets acquired as of the acquisition date included $2.2 million in property and equipment and $6.8 million in noncontrolling interest. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $11.8 million was recorded as “Goodwill.” Goodwill is included in the Pursuit business group. The primary factor that contributed to the purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill related to future growth opportunities when combined with our other businesses. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. We included these assets in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Due to the recent timing of the acquisition, the purchase price allocation is not yet finalized and is subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as the assessment of acquired assets is finalized.

Transaction costs associated with the acquisition were $0.2 million during 2021, which are included in “Cost of services” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
