Acquisitions

Acquisition of RE/MAX of Alaska, Inc.

 

On April 1, 2016, RE/MAX, LLC acquired certain assets of RE/MAX of Alaska, Inc. (“RE/MAX of Alaska”), including the regional franchise agreements issued by the Company permitting the sale of RE/MAX franchises in the state of Alaska. RE/MAX, LLC acquired these assets in order to expand its owned and operated regional franchising operations. The Company used $1,500,000 in cash generated from operations to fund the acquisition. The assets acquired constitute a business and were accounted for using the fair value acquisition method.  The total purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based on their estimated fair values.  The excess of the total purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.  The goodwill recognized for RE/MAX of Alaska is attributable to expected synergies and projected long term revenue growth.  All of the goodwill recognized is tax deductible.
