Acquisition of Businesses

2014 Acquisitions

West Glacier Properties

In July 2014, the Company acquired the West Glacier Properties. The purchase price was $16.5 million in cash with a working capital adjustment of $0.3 million related to the true-up of certain current assets and liabilities. The allocation of the purchase price was completed as of September 30, 2015. The results of operations of the West Glacier Properties have been included in Viad’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Blitz

In September 2014, the Company acquired Blitz, which has offices in the United Kingdom and is a leading audio-visual staging and creative services provider for the live events industry in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. The purchase price was £15.0 million (approximately $24.4 million) in cash, subject to certain adjustments.

The following table summarizes the updated allocation of the aggregate purchase price paid and amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company made certain purchase accounting measurement period adjustments based on refinements to assumptions used in the preliminary valuation of approximately $0.1 million to property and equipment, $16,000 from intangible assets, $0.2 million from accrued lease obligations, $0.2 million to deferred taxes and $21,000 to goodwill. These adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, balance sheet, or cash flows for all periods presented, and therefore, were not retrospectively adjusted in the 2014 financial statements. Other than the line items mentioned previously, the balances in the table below as of September 30, 2015 remain unchanged from the balances reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The allocation of the purchase price was completed as of September 30, 2015.

Goodwill is included in the Marketing & Events International Segment and the primary factor that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill relates to future growth opportunities when combined with our other businesses. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes over a period of 15 years. The estimated values of current assets and liabilities were based upon their historical costs on the date of acquisition due to their short-term nature.

Identified intangible assets acquired in the Blitz acquisition totaled $8.7 million and consist of customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and a trade name. The weighted-average amortization period related to the intangible assets is approximately 6.9 years. The results of operations of Blitz have been included in Viad’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

onPeak LLC

In October 2014, the Company acquired onPeak LLC for a purchase price of $43.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments.

These adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, balance sheet, or cash flows for all periods presented, and therefore, were not retrospectively adjusted in the 2014 financial statements. Other than the line items mentioned previously, as of September 30, 2015, the balances in the table below remain unchanged from the balances reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The purchase price allocation remains open and may be adjusted as a result of the finalization of our purchase price allocation procedures related to certain tax amounts.
