WJH, LLC – Wade Jurney Homes

On June 14, 2018, we acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in WJH, LLC (“WJH”) for $37.5 million, whereby WJH became a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. We initially acquired a 50% ownership interest in WJH in November 2016 as part of a joint venture, which was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We subsequently rebranded Wade Jurney Homes as Century Complete (“CMP”). Our Century Complete brand targets first-time homebuyers, primarily sells homes through retail studios and the internet, and provides no option or upgrade selections. The acquired assets primarily include homes under construction that are in various stages of completion and are geographically dispersed. We determined that the fair value of the gross assets acquired was not concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. As the acquired assets and processes have the ability to create outputs in the form of revenue from the sale of single-family residences, we concluded that the acquisition represents a business combination. We incurred $0.4 million in acquisition costs during the year ended December 31, 2018, which are reflected in acquisition expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

Authoritative guidance on accounting for business combinations requires that an acquirer re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquisition at its acquisition date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss in earnings. As such, we valued our previously held equity interest in WJH at $35.6 million, which is inclusive of an estimated discount for lack of control of $1.9 million, and recognized a gain of $7.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. The gain is included in equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries on our consolidated statements of operations.

The following table outlines the total consideration transferred, inclusive of cash acquired and the fair value of our previously held equity interest (in thousands):

Acquired inventories consist primarily of work in process inventories. We estimated the fair value of acquired work in process inventories based upon the stage of production of each unit and a gross margin that we believe a market participant would require to complete the remaining development and requisite selling efforts.  The stage of production, as of the acquisition date, ranged from recently started lots to fully completed single-family residences.  Amortizable intangible assets included acquired trade names and a non-compete agreement, which were estimated to have fair values of $3.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and are amortized over 10 years and 2 years, respectively.  During the year ended December 31, 2019, we impaired our Wade Jurney Homes trade name of $3.3

million and $0.5 million of associated accumulated amortization, resulting in a $2.8 million loss, which is included in inventory impairment and other in our consolidated statements of operations. The purchase price accounting reflected in the accompanying financial statements was completed during the year ended December 31, 2019.

We determined that WJH’s carrying costs approximated fair value for all other acquired assets and assumed liabilities. 

From the acquisition date, WJH’s results of operations, which include homebuilding revenues of $210.1 million, and income before tax inclusive of purchase price accounting, of $(0.8) million, are included in our accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

Unaudited pro forma revenue and income before tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 gives effect to the results of the acquisition of WJH. The effect of the WJH acquisition is reflected as though the acquisition date was as of January 1, 2018. Unaudited pro forma income before tax expense adjusts the operating results of WJH to reflect the additional costs that would have been recorded assuming the fair value adjustments had been applied as of the beginning of the year preceding the year of acquisition and excludes acquisition expense incurred related to the transactions.
