Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
Goodwill

GOODWILL:

We account for acquisitions in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), and goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”).  For business combinations, the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination is recorded as goodwill. In October 2020, we purchased all of the outstanding equity of SkipperBud’s for an aggregate purchase price

of $55,000,000, subject to certain customary closing and post-closing adjustments, and net working capital adjustments including certain holdbacks. In addition, the former equity owners of SkipperBud’s (“Skippers Sellers”), have the opportunity to earn additional consideration as part of an earnout subject to the achievement of certain pre-tax earnings levels. The maximum amount of consideration that can be paid under the earnout is approximately $9.3 million. The fair value of $8.2 million of the contingent consideration arrangement was estimated by a third party valuation expert by applying an income valuation approach. The earnout was estimated based on forecasted pre-tax earnings as a base scenario (among other assumptions) subject to a Monte Carlo simulation. The Skippers Sellers are subject to certain customary post-closing covenants and indemnities. The acquisition of SkipperBud’s enhances our sales, brokerage, service and marina/storage presence in the Great Lakes region and West Coast of the Unites States.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for SkipperBud’s and the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable and inventory of approximately $5.4 million and $42.3 million, respectively. The fair value of current liabilities assumed includes short-term borrowings of approximately $30.5 million, accrued expenses of approximately $14.6 million, and customer deposits of approximately $7.5 million. We recorded approximately $56.4 million in goodwill and approximately $2.0 million of other identifiable intangibles (trade name and customer relationships) in connection with the SkipperBud’s acquisition, however, purchase price allocations are preliminary pending receipt of final valuation analyses of certain assets from our valuation advisor. The goodwill represents our enhanced geographic reach and brand infrastructure in the Great Lakes region and West Coast of the Unites States. The majority of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 3.3 years. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, SkipperBud’s revenue was approximately $40.4 million and income before taxes was approximately $1.9 million. SkipperBud’s financial information for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was not practical to obtain for comparative purposes and as such is not presented because SkipperBud’s historical monthly internal accounting and reporting processes and practices would not provide complete information sufficient for the purposes of this pro forma disclosure.

In July 2020, we purchased Northrop & Johnson, a leading superyacht brokerage and services company. In March 2020, we purchased Boatyard, a digital platform with an expansive range of on-demand services to streamline the boating experience by qualified service providers from a smartphone.

In total, current and previous acquisitions have resulted in the recording of $84.3 million and $143.1 million in goodwill and other intangible assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In accordance with ASC 350, we test goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  Our annual impairment test is performed during the third fiscal quarter.  If the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its fair value we recognize an impairment loss in accordance with ASC 350. As of December 31, 2020, and based upon our most recent analysis, we determined through our qualitative assessment that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair values of our reporting units are less than their carrying values.  As a result, we were not required to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment.
