Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

On August 2, 2021 the Company’s subsidiary, Axos Clearing, LLC, acquired certain assets and liabilities of E*TRADE Advisor Services (“EAS”), the registered investment advisor custody business of Morgan Stanley. This business was rebranded as Axos Advisor Services (“AAS”). AAS adds incremental fee income, a turnkey technology platform used by independent registered investment advisors for trading and custody services, and low cost deposits that can be used to generate fee income from other bank partners or to fund loan growth at Axos Bank. The purchase price of $54.8 million consisted entirely of cash consideration paid upon acquisition and working capital adjustments.

The Company incurred acquisition-related costs totaling $0.04 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. There were no costs in the three months March 31, 2022. These costs are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited consolidated statements of income.

The acquisition is accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, tangible and intangible assets acquired (and liabilities assumed) are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The Company allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired based on information available through March 31, 2022. The estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are subject to refinement as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. Any subsequent measurement period adjustments to the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities assumed, identifiable intangible assets, or other purchase accounting adjustments will result in adjustments to goodwill no later than within the first 12 months following the closing date of acquisition.

The preliminary allocation of the $54.6 million purchase price consists of $6.5 million of fair value of tangible assets acquired, $3.4 million of liabilities assumed, $27.1 million of identifiable intangible assets and $24.4 million of goodwill, all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In December 2021, the Company made a $0.2 million true-up payment based on working capital adjustments, which was recorded as an increase in the purchase price up to $54.8 million with no impact on goodwill or identifiable intangible assets. After the working capital true-up, the fair value of tangible assets acquired is $6.4 million and the fair value of liabilities acquired is $3.1 million. Identifiable intangible assets with a finite useful are amortized on a straight-line basis. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of consideration exchanged over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. The goodwill includes synergies expected to result from combining the acquired assets and liabilities with existing operations, coupling its custody platform with the Company existing product offerings and leveraging customer relationships through RIAs. The following table summarizes the fair value and useful life of each intangible asset acquired as of the acquisition date:


($ in thousands)	Fair Value		Useful Lives (Years)
Trade Name	$	290	0.16
Proprietary Technology	10,990		7
Customer Relationships	15,650		14
Non-Compete Agreements	130		1
	$	27,060
