FlyOver Canada

On December 29, 2016, the Company acquired the assets and operations of FlyOver Canada, a recreational attraction that provides a virtual flight ride experience with a combination of motion seating, spectacular media, and visual effects including wind, scents, and mist. The purchase price was $68.8 million Canadian dollars (approximately $50.9 million U.S. dollars) in cash, subject to certain adjustments.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the aggregate purchase price paid and the amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price was completed as of March 31, 2017.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price as shown in the table above is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill of FlyOver Canada is included in the Pursuit business group and is a separate reporting unit. The primary factor that contributed to the purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill relates to future growth opportunities and the expansion of the FlyOver concept. Goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes pursuant to Canadian tax regulations. 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. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of FlyOver Canada were $0.1 million in 2017 and $0.5 million in 2016 and are included in cost of services in Viad’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Identified intangible assets acquired in the FlyOver Canada acquisition totaled $6.0 million and consisted of trade names of $3.7 million, customer relationships of $1.6 million, and non-compete agreements of $0.7 million. The weighted-average amortization period related to the intangible assets is 9.4 years.

The results of operations of FlyOver Canada have been included in Viad’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, revenue related to FlyOver Canada was $4.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively, and operating income was $2.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Other Acquisitions

In March 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of the Poken event engagement technology for total cash consideration of $1.7 million, subject to certain adjustments. These assets have been included in Viad’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
