2019

Avis and Budget Licensees

In 2019, the Company completed the acquisitions of various licensees primarily in North America, for approximately $55 million, plus $27 million for acquired fleet, of which $74 million was paid. The remaining $8 million of the purchase price will be paid primarily in 2020. These investments were in-line with the Company’s strategy to re-acquire licensees when advantageous to expand its footprint of Company-operated locations. The acquired fleet was financed under the Company’s existing financing arrangements. The excess of the purchase price over preliminary fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, which was assigned to the Company’s Americas reportable segment. In connection with these acquisitions, approximately $21 million was recorded in goodwill, other intangibles of $24 million related to license agreements and $7 million related to customer relationships. The license agreements and customer relationships are being amortized over a weighted average useful life of approximately three years. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized and is therefore subject to change.
