NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS

On February 1, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Vesta Housing Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“Vesta Modular”), a portfolio company of Kinderhook Industries, for $437.2 million cash consideration on the closing date, which included certain adjustments, including net working capital and certain qualified capital expenditures. In connection with the acquisition, the Company purchased a representation and warranty insurance policy to provide certain recourse in the event of breaches of representations and warranties of Vesta Modular and the seller of Vesta Modular under the stock purchase agreement. Vesta Modular is a leading provider of temporary and permanent modular space solutions serving customers between its modular leasing and modular construction divisions. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of a “business” in accordance with criteria in ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price is assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values on the closing date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the purchase price allocation was revised resulting in a $12.8 million reduction in rental assets, $10.1 million reduction in deferred income taxes, a $0.4 million reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and a $3.9 million increase in the customer relationships intangible asset. The net impact of

these revisions resulted in a $1.6 million reduction in Goodwill for Vesta Modular. The financial results of Vesta Modular were a part of the Mobile Modular segment since February 1, 2023, including $9.5 million of transaction costs.

On March 1, 2023, the Company completed the purchase of assets of Jerald R. Brekke, Inc., DBA Brekke Storage ("Brekke Storage"), for a total purchase price of $16.4 million. Brekke Storage is a regional provider of portable storage solutions in the Colorado market. The acquisition expanded the Mobile Modular Portable Storage fleet by approximately 2,700 units and provided a new regional operation to serve the Colorado market. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of a “business” in accordance with criteria in ASC 805 using the purchase method of accounting. The financial results of Brekke Storage were a part of the Mobile Modular segment since March 1, 2023, including $0.2 million of transaction costs.

On April 1, 2023, the Company completed the purchase of assets of Dixie Temporary Storage, LLC ("Dixie Storage"), for a purchase price of $4.9 million. Dixie Storage is a regional provider of portable storage solutions in the South Carolina market and is highly complementary to the Company's portable storage business segment. The acquisition expanded the Mobile Modular Portable Storage fleet by approximately 800 units and provided a new regional operation to serve the South Carolina market. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of a “business” in accordance with criteria in ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the purchase method of accounting. The financial results of Dixie Storage were a part of the Mobile Modular segment since April 1, 2023, including $0.1 million of transaction costs.

On July 1, 2023, the Company completed the purchase of assets of Inland Leasing and Storage, LLC ("Inland Leasing"), for a purchase price of $3.8 million. Inland Leasing is a regional provider of portable storage solutions in the Colorado market and is highly complementary to the Company's portable storage business segment. The acquisition grew the Mobile Modular Portable Storage fleet by approximately 600 units, which will further support the Colorado market. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of "assets" in accordance with criteria in ASC 805 and the assessment of the fair value of the purchased assets was allocated primarily to rental equipment totaling $3.0 million and intangible assets totaling $0.7 million. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the historical financial results of Inland Leasing were not significant. Incremental transaction costs associated with the asset purchase were not significant.

The following tables summarize the preliminary purchase price allocations reflecting estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Vesta Modular, Brekke Storage and Dixie Storage business acquisitions, with excess amounts allocated to goodwill. The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date are determined based on preliminary valuations and analyses. Accordingly, the Company has made provisional estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The valuation of intangible assets acquired is based on certain valuation assumptions including cash flow projections, discount rates, contributory asset charges and other valuation model inputs. The valuation of tangible long-lived assets acquired is dependent upon various analyses including an analysis of the condition and estimated remaining economic lives of the assets acquired.

The value assigned to identifiable intangible assets was determined based on discounted estimated future cash flows associated with such assets to their present value. The combined acquired goodwill of $217.4 million reflects the strategic fit of Vesta Modular, Brekke Storage and Dixie Storage with the Company’s modular and portable storage business operations. The Company amortizes the acquired customer relationships over their expected useful lives of 11 years for Vesta Modular, 8 years for Brekke Storage and 9 years for Dixie Storage. The expected useful life for the non-compete agreements is 5 years. The trade name intangible acquired from the Vesta Modular acquisition will be amortized over it's useful life of nine months. Goodwill is expected to have an indefinite life and will be subject to future impairment testing. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years.

 

The following unaudited pro forma financial information shows the combined results of continuing operations of the Company and Vesta Modular as if the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma results include the effects of the amortization of the purchased intangible assets and depreciation expense of acquired rental equipment valuation step up, interest expense on the debt incurred to finance the acquisitions. A pro forma adjustment has been made to reflect the income taxes that would have been recorded at the combined federal and state statutory rate of 26.5% on the acquisitions’ combined net income. The pro forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, have been adjusted to include transaction related costs. This pro forma data is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the results of the future operations or the results that would have occurred had the acquisitions taken place in the periods noted below:
