NOTE 9 — ACQUISITION

 

On  July 31, 2024, the Company, through its land-based subsidiary Natural Habitat, acquired the Thomson Group to further expand its land-based experiential travel offerings and increase its addressable market. Thomson Group consists of three adventure travel brands, including Tanzania safari specialists Thomson Safaris, with more than 40 years of experience in the country, Gibb’s Farm lodge, an 80-acre sanctuary for the senses located near the Ngorongoro Crater, the operator of Kilimanjaro treks Nature Discovery, which has more than 30 years of experience, and Thomson Safaris Limited. The aggregate purchase price for the Thomson Group was $30.0 million, consisting of $24.0 million in cash and $6.0 million in Lindblad common stock, representing 682,593 shares. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has the option to acquire Tanzania Conservation Limited. 

 

The acquisition was accounted for under purchase accounting and is included in the consolidated results from the acquisition date. Acquisition related costs were $2.7 million and are included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended  December 31, 2024. The Company recorded $8.6 million in intangible assets related to tradenames and customer relationships and $17.0 million in goodwill related to the acquisition. The fair value of the tradename assets was sensitive to judgment in the selection of appropriate royalty rate, discount rates and forecasts of the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The forecast assumption is forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

 

Following are pro forma revenue and net loss available to stockholders for the years ended  December 31, 2024 and 2023, assuming the Company had completed the acquisition on  January 1, 2023:
