Note 3. Business Combination

On March 31, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining seventy five percent (75%) equity interest in Pantaya (the “Pantaya Acquisition”). Prior to the Pantaya Acquisition, the Company owned a twenty five percent (25%) equity interest in Pantaya, and as a result of the acquisition, Pantaya is now a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary. Pantaya is the leading U.S. Hispanic subscription streaming service offering the largest selection of current and classic, commercial free blockbusters and critically acclaimed movies and series from Latin America and the U.S. including original productions from Pantaya’s production arm, Pantelion, and titles from our library, as well as titles from third party providers such as Lionsgate and Grupo Televisa.

Total cash purchase price in connection with the Pantaya Acquisition is $123.6 million. Under the terms of the purchase agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”), control of Pantaya transferred to the Company on March 31, 2021 (“Acquisition Date”), with cash consideration transferred on April 1, 2021. Cash consideration was funded with a combination of cash on hand and an add-on to our Term Loan Facility. For more information, see Note 8, “Long-Term Debt” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Pantaya Acquisition totaled $6.7 million, consisting primarily of professional fees and certain non-cash charges, which are included in other expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Prior to the closing of the Pantaya Acquisition, the Company accounted for the existing 25% equity interest in Pantaya using the equity method, and the net book value was $0 as of March 31, 2021. The Company accounted for the acquisition of the remaining 75% equity interest of Pantaya as a step acquisition, which required remeasurement of the Company’s existing 25% ownership interest in Pantaya to fair value prior to completing the acquisition method of accounting. Using step acquisition accounting, the Company increased the value of its existing equity interest to its fair value resulting in the recognition of a non-cash gain of $30.1 million, which was included in gain (loss) on equity method investment activity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For more information, see Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination by applying the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the amounts recorded for assets acquired, liabilities assumed, total consideration, and our existing 25% equity interest in Pantaya reflects preliminary fair value estimates based on management analysis. The Company is in the process of measuring all of the preliminary fair values, and, until the valuation process is complete, there may be adjustments during the measurement period.

The preliminary fair value of the finite-lived intangible assets, which consists of programming rights, is $30.8 million. This finite-lived intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted-average useful life of 4.6 years. The Company has not yet finalized the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired.

Goodwill of $144.5 million represents Company-specific operational synergies and the future growth opportunities of Pantaya’s subscription streaming service. The goodwill associated with the transaction is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

These unaudited supplemental pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined company that would have been achieved had the Pantaya Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2020, nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations. The unaudited supplemental pro forma results of operations for all periods set forth above includes the combined historical operating results of Hemisphere and Pantaya, as adjusted by including the amortization of finite-lived intangible assets identified as a result of the Pantaya Acquisition of $1.7 million, and excluding all revenues and expenses from the business conducted between the Company and Pantaya. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2020, also includes non-recurring costs incurred in connection with the Pantaya Acquisition of $6.7 million, which have been excluded from the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The Pantaya Acquisition closed at the end of day on March 31, 2021, and therefore no net revenue or operating income of Pantaya is included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
