The increase in the Company’s goodwill in 2015 was primarily related to the goodwill associated with the purchase of three dealerships in the U.S., substantially offset by a non-cash impairment recognized in Brazil, as well as foreign currency translation adjustments for the U.K. and Brazil.
The increase in the Company’s goodwill in 2014 was primarily related to the goodwill associated with the purchase of seven dealerships in the U.S. and three dealerships in the U.K.
The increase in the Company’s intangible franchise rights in 2015 and 2014 was primarily related to the acquisitions in the U.S. described above, substantially offset by non-cash impairments recognized in the U.S. and Brazil. The allocation of the purchase price for the 2015 acquisitions, including the valuation of intangible franchise rights and goodwill, is preliminary and based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the purchase price allocation period.
