On May 6, 2020, the Company formed a new subsidiary that was subsequently renamed Landstar Blue, LLC (“Landstar Blue”). Landstar Blue arranges truckload brokerage services with a focus on the contract services market. Landstar Blue also helps the Company to develop and test digital technologies and processes for the benefit of all Landstar independent commission sales agents. On June 15, 2020, Landstar Blue completed the acquisition of an independent agent of the Company whose business focused on truckload brokerage services. Cash consideration paid for the acquisition was approximately $2,766,000. In addition, the Company assumed approximately $200,000 in liabilities consisting of additional contingent purchase price, of which $168,000 was remitted during the Company’s 2021 second fiscal quarter. The resulting goodwill arising from the acquisition was approximately $2,871,000. With respect to this goodwill, 100% is expected to be deductible by the Company for U.S. income tax purposes. Pro forma financial information for prior periods is not presented as the Company does not believe the acquisition to be material to the Company’s consolidated results. The results of operations for Landstar Blue are presented as part of the Company’s transportation logistics segment. Transaction costs for the acquisition were insignificant.
