Acquisitions:

On July 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of two water parks and one resort in Texas, the Schlitterbahn Waterpark & Resort New Braunfels and the Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston ("Schlitterbahn parks"), for a cash purchase price of $257.7 million. The acquisition increased our presence in growing and attractive markets and further diversified our portfolio of properties. The Schlitterbahn parks are included within our single reportable segment of amusement/water parks with accompanying resort facilities.

The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management's estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. To the extent the purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, such excess was allocated to goodwill. Based on the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, goodwill of $178.0 million, property and equipment of $58.1 million, an indefinite-lived trade name of $23.2 million, covenants not to compete of $0.2 million and a net working capital deficit of $3.3 million were recorded. We also assumed a lease commitment for the land on which Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston is located. This land lease resulted in the recognition of an additional right-of-use asset totaling $6.8 million and an additional corresponding lease liability totaling $5.3 million. All goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our expected future operating results, we tested the long-lived assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of the Schlitterbahn parks for impairment as of March 29, 2020. This resulted in impairment charges at the Schlitterbahn parks of $2.7 million for long-lived assets, $73.6 million for goodwill and $7.9 million for the Schlitterbahn trade name (see Note 5 and Note 6).

The results of the Schlitterbahn parks' operations, including $0.9 million of net revenues and $91.3 million of net loss, are included within the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 29, 2020. If we had acquired the Schlitterbahn parks on January 1, 2019, our results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 would have included net revenues and net loss of approximately $2 million and $6 million, respectively. Related acquisition transaction costs totaled $7.0 million for the third and fourth quarter of 2019 and were included within Selling, general and administrative expenses.
