ACQUISITIONS

Action

On July 1, 2019, we acquired Action Industrial Catering (Action), a provider of catering and managed services to the mining industry in Western Australia. We funded the purchase price of $16.9 million in cash through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The acquisition expands our business into the growing integrated services opportunities in the Western Australian mining market. Action's operations are reported as part of our Australia reporting business segment beginning on July 1, 2019, the date of acquisition.

This acquisition is accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, which requires us to record the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their fair values at July 1, 2019. Our estimates of the fair value for such assets and liabilities require significant assumptions and judgment. Based on the final purchase price allocation, intangible assets acquired totaled $8.4 million and consisted primarily of customer contracts and a trade name. In addition, we recognized goodwill of $7.9 million.

Noralta
 
Description of Transaction.  On April 2, 2018, we acquired the equity of Noralta. As a result of the Noralta Acquisition, we expanded our existing accommodations business in the Canadian oil sands market. The total consideration, which is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the definitive agreement, included (i) C$207.7 million (or approximately US$161.2 million) in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments for working capital, indebtedness and transactions expenses, (ii) 32.8 million of our common shares, of which 13.5 million shares are held in escrow and will be released based on certain conditions related to Noralta customer contracts remaining in place, and (iii) 9,679 Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares (the Preferred Shares) with an initial liquidation preference of $96.8 million and initially convertible into 29.3 million of our common shares. We funded the cash consideration with cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

During the first quarter of 2019, $2.1 million in cash was released to us from escrow to cover certain agreed upon indemnification claims. During the fourth quarter of 2018, $10.4 million in cash, 2.2 million common shares and 637 Preferred Shares were released to us, and $1.2 million in cash, 0.2 million common shares and 55 Preferred Shares were released to the sellers, from escrow to cover purchase price adjustments related to employee compensation cost increases. During the third quarter of 2018, $3.6 million in cash was released to us from escrow to cover purchase price adjustments related to a working capital shortfall at closing.
 
The Noralta Acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, and accordingly, the results of operations of Noralta were reported in our financial statements as part of our Canada reporting business segment beginning on April 2, 2018, the date of acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded approximately $85.8 million of revenue and $31.5 million of gross margin in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations related to the Noralta Acquisition.

Calculation of Purchase Consideration. The total purchase consideration received by the Noralta shareholders was based on the cash consideration and fair value of our common shares and Preferred Shares issued on April 2, 2018. The purchase consideration below reflects the fair value of common shares issued, which is based on the closing price on March 29, 2018 (the last business day prior to April 2, 2018) of our common shares of $3.77 per share and the estimated fair value of Preferred Shares issued, which are valued at 61% of the initial liquidation preference of the Preferred Shares of $96.8 million.
 
A portion of the consideration paid, $11.6 million cash, 2.4 million common shares and 692 Preferred Shares, was initially held in escrow to support certain obligations of the sellers to compensate us for certain increased employee compensation costs expected to be incurred as a result of the union certification of certain classes of Noralta employees.  As of April 2, 2018, we expected the escrowed amounts to be released to us within 12 months, and therefore, a receivable of $11.6 million related to the cash expected to be released was established.  Additionally, no fair value has been allocated to such common shares or Preferred Shares portion of the consideration. As the $10.4 million of cash released to us during the fourth quarter of 2018 was less than the cash expected to be released as of April 2, 2018, we recognized a loss equal to the difference, adjusted for exchange rate changes, totaling $0.8 million. The loss is included in Other income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The purchase consideration and estimated fair value of Noralta’s net assets acquired as of April 2, 2018 is presented as follows:

Purchase Price Allocation. The application of purchase accounting under ASC 805 requires that the total purchase price be allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at April 2, 2018, with amounts exceeding the fair values being recorded as goodwill. The allocation process requires an analysis of acquired fixed assets, contracts, and contingencies to identify and record the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Our allocation of the purchase price, which we finalized in the first quarter of 2019, to specific assets and liabilities is based, in part, upon outside appraisals using customary valuation procedures and techniques. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at April 2, 2018 (in thousands):

The aggregate fair value of the acquired accounts receivable approximated the aggregate gross contractual amount.

Goodwill has been recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. The goodwill is primarily attributable to synergies expected to arise from the Noralta Acquisition. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using income, market and cost valuation methodologies. The fair value measurements were estimated using significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement. Fair values of property, plant and equipment, excluding land, were determined using the cost approach. The cost approach estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility. The cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the asset, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation. Fair values of land were determined using the market approach. The market approach is a valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The income approach was used to value the intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer contracts, trade name and favorable/unfavorable lease contracts. The income approach indicates value for an asset or liability based on present value of cash flows projected to be generated over the remaining economic life of the asset or liability being measured. Projected cash flows are discounted at a required market rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flows and the time value of money.

The contracts acquired consist of accommodations contracts with two major investment grade oil sands producers which are subject to amortization over an estimated useful life of 20 years at the time of acquisition. The trade name was assigned to Noralta’s name recognition with an estimated useful life of 9 months at the time of acquisition. The favorable/unfavorable intangible contracts are related to leases that will be amortized over the remaining lease terms, which range from 3.8 years to 9.3 years at the time of acquisition. The unfavorable contracts are included in Other noncurrent liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited). The following unaudited pro forma supplemental financial information presents the consolidated results of operations of the Company and Noralta as if the Noralta Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2017. We have adjusted historical financial information to give effect to pro forma items that are directly attributable to the Noralta Acquisition and are expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. These items include adjustments to record the incremental amortization and depreciation expense related to the increase in fair values of the acquired assets, interest expense related to borrowings under the Credit Agreement to fund the Noralta Acquisition and to reclassify certain items to conform to our financial reporting presentation. However, pro forma results do not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of the planned integration of Noralta. The unaudited pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations had the transaction occurred on the date indicated or of future results for the combined entities (in thousands, except per share data):

Included in the pro forma results above are certain adjustments due to the following: (i) increases in depreciation and amortization expense due to acquired intangibles and the increased recorded value of property, plant and equipment, (ii) increases in interest expense due to additional credit facility borrowings to fund the Noralta Acquisition, and (iii) decreases due to the exclusion of transaction costs.

Transaction Costs. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized $9.1 million of costs in connection with the Noralta Acquisition that are included in Service and other costs ($1.0 million), Selling, general and administrative expenses ($7.2 million) and Other income ($0.9 million). During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized $2.3 million of costs in connection with the Noralta Acquisition that are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses.
 

Acadian Acres
 
On February 28, 2018, we acquired the assets of Lakeland, L.L.C. (Lakeland), located near Lake Charles, Louisiana, for total consideration of $28.0 million, composed of $23.5 million in cash and $4.5 million of our common shares. The asset purchase agreement also includes potential future earn-out payments through December 2020 of up to 1.2 million Civeo common shares, based upon satisfaction of certain future revenue targets. The acquisition included a 400 room lodge, 40 acres of land and related assets. We funded the cash consideration with cash on hand. Lakeland’s operations are reported as Acadian Acres in our U.S. reporting business segment.

Intangible assets acquired in the Acadian Acres acquisition totaled $8.2 million and consisted of a customer contract. The customer contract intangible is being amortized over the remaining contract term, which was 16 months at the time of acquisition.

This acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition based on the principles described in ASC 805, which provides a screen to determine when a set of transferred assets is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similarly identifiable assets, the set of transferred assets is not a business. Accordingly, we allocated the excess consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired to the acquired assets, pro rata, on the basis of relative fair values to increase the related assets acquired.
