Acquisitions
2021

During 2021, we completed the acquisitions of various licensees in Europe and North America, for approximately $23 million, plus $22 million for acquired fleet. These investments were in-line with our strategy to re-acquire licensees when advantageous to expand our footprint of Company-operated locations. The acquired fleet was financed under our existing financing arrangements. In connection with these acquisitions, approximately $28 million was recorded to other intangibles related to franchise agreements. The license agreements are being amortized over a weighted average useful life of approximately one year. Differences between the preliminary allocation of purchase price and the final allocation were not material.
