Note 2 – Acquisitions

 

       The Company's acquisitions are strategic moves in its plan to fill in and expand its presence in its existing and contiguous markets, and leverage fixed operating costs such as distribution and advertising.

 

Subsequent Events

 

 

The Company has signed a definitive asset purchase agreement to complete the acquisition of 17 retail tire and automotive repair stores located in Wisconsin and South Carolina from Tuffy Associates Corp. (“Tuffy”) on August 12, 2012. These stores produced approximately $9 million in net sales for their previous full fiscal year based on unaudited pre-acquisition historical information. These retail tire and automotive repair stores will operate primarily under the Monro and Tread Quarters names. The acquisition will be financed through the Company's existing bank facility.

 

Fiscal 2013

 

       On June 3, 2012, the Company acquired 18 retail tire and automotive repair stores located in North Carolina from Colony Tire Corporation (“Colony”). These stores produced approximately $25 million in net sales for their previous full fiscal year based on unaudited pre-acquisition historical information. These retail tire and automotive repair stores operate primarily under the Mr. Tire name.

 

On April 1, 2012, the Company acquired 20 retail tire and automotive repair stores located in Virginia from Kramer Tire Co. (“Kramer”). These stores produced approximately $25 million in net sales for their previous full fiscal year based on audited pre-acquisition historical information. As part of the Kramer acquisition, two heavy truck tire and truck repair stores, two wholesale operations and a retread facility also located in Virginia were acquired. These retail tire and automotive repair stores will operate primarily under the Tread Quarters name. The non-retail facilities and the two heavy truck tire and truck repair stores were disposed of during May 2012.

 

The total purchase price of these completed acquisitions is approximately $51 million and were financed through the Company's existing bank facility.

 

       The purchase price allocations for the fiscal 2013 acquisitions remain preliminary due to the finalization of the valuation of inventory, intangible assets, real estate and real property leases. The Company believes that any adjustments to the purchase price allocations will not be material. The aggregated acquisitions are not material to require pro-forma information.
