The preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is subject to adjustments based on the Company’s final assessment of the fair values of the intangible assets, which are the acquired assets with the highest likelihood of changing upon finalization of the valuation process. The excess of the total purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies and projected long-term revenue growth for the RE/MAX network. All of the goodwill recognized is tax deductible.

Adjustments recorded during the measurement period are calculated as if they were known at the acquisition date but are recognized in the reporting period in which they are determined. Revisions or adjustments are not made to any prior period information. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation for booj were made during the three months ended September 30, 2018 to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets resulting in an increase to “Other intangible assets” of $3.6 million with a corresponding decrease to “Goodwill” of $3.6 million.  The Company recognized an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 in connection with these measurement adjustments.

Revenue and net income attributable to the acquisition of booj were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
