Acquisitions Acquisitions
There were no acquisitions during the year ended December 29, 2023. There were three acquisitions during the year ended December 30, 2022, and one during the year ended December 31, 2021 as described further in this section below. The Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for under ASC 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the accounts of the acquired companies, after adjustments to reflect fair values assigned to assets and liabilities, have been included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.

Transactions Completed in Fiscal Year 2022

On October 24, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding interest of its majority-owned subsidiary, Remote Maintenance Systems LP, doing business as Parasol (“Parasol”), the provider of 24/7 remote support service to the Company’s integrators based on the Company’s remote management tool, OvrC. The Company acquired the remaining outstanding equity shares of Parasol in exchange for $1,100 of the Company’s common shares. The Company made an initial investment and established its controlling interest in 2018, and has included the results of operations, assets, and liabilities in its consolidated financial reports since 2018.

The Company completed two additional acquisitions during fiscal year 2022 with Clare Controls, LLC (“Clare”), on August 8, 2022, and Staub Electronics, LTD (“Staub”), on January 20, 2022. The Clare acquisition enabled Snap One to convert Clare’s product suite into higher-margin proprietary products and drive growth with professional integrators in adjacent markets. The Company agreed to a purchase price of $6,300, consisting of $4,900 cash paid and $1,400 related to the settlement of a pre-existing note receivable from Clare owed to the Company. The Staub acquisition added two Canadian locations to the Company’s distribution footprint. The Company agreed to a cash purchase price of $26,395 for the issued and outstanding shares of Staub.
The final allocation of the purchase price for Clare and Staub is as follows:

Goodwill arising from the Clare acquisition primarily consists of synergies from integrating Clare’s automation and security products into the Company’s existing product portfolio. Goodwill arising from the Staub acquisition primarily consists of synergies from integrating the distribution channels of Staub into the Company’s distribution channels.

As a result of the Clare transaction, the Company has, for income tax purposes, goodwill of $2,746 that will be deductible in future periods.

The Company recognized $382 of transaction-related expenses for Clare in fiscal year 2022, consisting primarily of advisory, legal, and other professional fees, which were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company recognized $328 of transaction-related expenses for Staub, $214 of expense in fiscal year 2022 and $114 of expense in fiscal year 2021, consisting primarily of advisory, legal, and other professional fees, which were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
Transaction Completed in Fiscal Year 2021

On May 4, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase agreement pursuant to which it acquired the issued and outstanding shares of ANLA, LLC. (“Access Networks”), an enterprise-grade networking solutions provider offering networking products, design, configuration, monitoring, and support services. The acquisition enhanced the Company’s networking solutions for residential and commercial networks. The Company agreed to a purchase price of $36,641, consisting of both cash and equity, plus contingent consideration of up to $2,000 based upon the achievement of specified financial targets. The Access Networks acquisition closed on May 28, 2021.

The consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the closing date. The Company allocated any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill. Goodwill arising from the Access Networks acquisition primarily consists of synergies from integrating the distribution of products through the Company’s existing distribution channels.

As part of the acquisition, the Company was required to pay additional consideration upon the achievement of specified financial targets. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $2,000. During the year ended December 30, 2022, the agreement was modified to change the covered revenue period, reducing expected payouts based on future revenues to $250 which was recorded in accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The change in fair value was recorded as a reduction in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The consideration was paid during the year ending December 29, 2023.

The allocation of the purchase price for the Access Networks acquisition is as follows:

Total purchase consideration$38,641 
Cash and cash equivalents$795 
Accounts receivable794 
Inventory2,029 
Property and equipment77 
Identifiable intangible assets17,700 
Total identifiable assets acquired21,395 
Accounts payable1,266 
Accrued liabilities1,218 
Other liabilities586 
Deferred income tax liabilities710 
Total liabilities assumed3,780 
Net identifiable assets acquired17,615 
Goodwill21,026 
Net assets acquired$38,641 

As of the acquisition date, for income tax purposes, goodwill of $13,616 was determined to be deductible in future periods. The acquisition of Access Networks was treated partially as a taxable acquisition and therefore any contingent consideration paid would result in an increase in tax deductible goodwill. As of the acquisition date, the tax basis in deductible goodwill was evaluated based on the fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date being settled in full. As a result of the reduction in contingent consideration expected to be paid, the value of tax-deductible goodwill was reduced by the same amount, bringing the value to $11,866 as of the year ended December 30, 2022.
The Company recorded intangible assets related to the acquisition based on estimated fair value, which consisted of the following:

Other liabilities assumed consisted primarily of warranty reserves and deferred revenue. The long-term warranty reserves are primarily based on historical failure rates, costs to repair or replace the product, and any necessary shipping costs, which are considered to approximate the fair value of the remaining obligation. Deferred revenue was recorded at fair value, resulting in a cumulative balance for the acquisition of $883 in accrued liabilities and $586 in other liabilities.

The Company recognized $197 of transaction-related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021, consisting primarily of advisory, legal, and other professional fees related to the acquisition. These transaction-related expenses were incurred by and for the benefit of the Company, and were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Pro forma financial information related to the Clare and Staub acquisitions in 2022 and the Access Networks acquisition in 2021 has not been provided as it is not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. The results of operations of the acquisitions are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition and were not significant for the years ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
