Acquisitions

5. ACQUISITIONS

 

The Company has determined that the below acquisitions are business combinations under ASC 805, Business Combinations. They are accounted for by applying the acquisition method, whereby the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values with any excess of the aggregate consideration over the fair values of the identifiable net assets allocated to goodwill. Operating results have been included in these consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Supplemental pro forma financial information has not been presented as the impact was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The goodwill recorded primarily includes the expected synergies resulting from combining the operations of the acquired entity with those of the Company.

 

(a)
2022 Business Acquisitions

 

On March 1, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership interests of ILDISP, LLC (“ILDISP”) from the Company's former membership interest partner for the purposes of expanding the Company's operational capacity in the Illinois market. Prior to March 1, 2022, one of the two retail stores owned by ILDISP, RISE Effingham, was consolidated by Green Thumb as the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. The other retail store was accounted for as an equity method investment given the Company's 50% ownership interest and its ability to significantly influence that store's operations.

 

The total consideration exchanged included $18,623 thousand in cash, which included $250 thousand in deferred consideration, which was paid in September 2022, along with 204,036 Subordinate Voting Shares of Green Thumb valued at $3,785 thousand, based on the fair value of the securities on their date of issuance, which was the closing price of Green Thumb's Subordinate Voting Shares as traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) on the date of the transaction.

 

The Company allocated the total consideration exchanged to each of the acquired retail stores. Accordingly, the consideration allocated to RISE Effingham was approximately $11,857 thousand in cash along with 128,218 Subordinate Voting Shares of Green Thumb that had a fair value on the date of issuance of $2,379 thousand. The remaining equity associated with the Company's purchase of the noncontrolling interest was closed to contributed surplus (deficit) of Green Thumb as of March 1, 2022.

 

The equity method investment associated with the other retail store owned by ILDISP was remeasured at fair value of $11,336 thousand as of the date of the transaction, and resulted in a gain on the fair value of the equity method investment of $10,955 thousand, which was recorded in other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company, with the assistance of an external valuation expert, measured the fair value of the equity method investment utilizing a market approach as of the date of acquisition. Significant inputs included the equity method investments projected EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022, along with selected market multiples.

 

In addition to the fair value of the equity method investment of $11,336 thousand, which was included as part of the consideration exchanged, the Company allocated consideration of $6,766 thousand in cash along with 75,818 Subordinate Voting Shares of Green Thumb, with a fair value of $1,406 thousand, to the acquisition of the other retail store.

 

After completing the preliminary allocation of the aggregate consideration exchanged for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company recorded a license intangible asset of $14,000 thousand and non-tax deductible goodwill of $4,697 thousand. Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed were not material. The weighted average amortization period for the license intangible is 15 years. Acquisition related expenses associated with the transaction were not material.

 

During 2022, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation associated with the March 1, 2022 acquisition of ILDISP. The Company remeasured the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the assistance of an external valuation expert, which resulted in a reduction to the license intangible of $143 thousand and a corresponding increase in the value of goodwill.
