Business Acquisitions |
Business Acquisition | Note 2 - Business Acquisitions Our acquisitions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). We record the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their estimated fair values. We determine the estimated fair values with the assistance of appraisals or valuations performed by independent third-party specialists, discounted cash flow analyses, quoted market prices where available, and estimates by management. To the extent the consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired in a transaction, such excess is assigned to goodwill. Receivables and other assets, property and equipment, accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities and customer deposits are generally stated at historical carrying values given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Liabilities are recorded at historical carrying values in accordance with ASC 805, which we believe approximates fair value. We determine the fair value of land and other inventories on a lot-by-lot basis primarily using market comparable land and home sales transactions combined with our estimates related to expected average home selling prices and sales incentives, expected sales paces and cancellation rates, expected land development and construction timelines, and anticipated land development, construction, and overhead costs. Such estimates must be made for each individual community and may vary significantly between communities. The fair values of identified intangible assets are determined using discounted cash flow models. We engage a third-party valuation specialist to assist with the determination of the estimated fair value of intangible assets acquired. We estimate the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition based on information available at that time. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities is subject to further management review and may change during the purchase price allocation period. Savvy Homes Acquisition On April 3, 2017, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Savvy Homes, LLC and certain of its affiliated entities (“Savvy Homes”) for approximately $43 million, which included an earn-out of $1.8 million, which was subject to customary post-closing adjustments. As of December 31, 2017, we revised our estimated earn-out payment to zero as we do not expect Savvy Homes to meet the required performance targets. The $1.8 million of income is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The assets acquired included substantially all of the real estate, land acquisition agreements and permits associated with the Savvy Homes business, and certain of its leases, contracts, commitments and purchase orders. We also assumed certain liabilities of Savvy Homes, including the liabilities and obligations relating to the acquired contracts, but excluding other liabilities including home warranty obligations relating to homes closed by Savvy Homes prior to the acquisition. Savvy Homes acquires raw and developed land, develops raw land and constructs single-family homes in the Raleigh, North Carolina area and enhances our position in a key growth market. The results of operations of Savvy Homes are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date of April 3, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2017, Savvy Homes’ revenue and net loss included in our 2017 consolidated financial statements were $53.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The $4.0 million net loss does not include income of $1.8 million from the reversal of the earn-out liability, which is included in our corporate general and administrative expenses. The following table summarizes the calculation of the fair value of the total consideration transferred to Savvy Homes and its allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
