17Acquisition

On November 14, 2012,  the Company acquired all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of Jetboil, Inc. (“Jetboil”) in a purchase transaction with Jetboil’s founders and other shareholders (the “Sellers”).  Jetboil, founded and based in Manchester, New Hampshire, designs and manufactures the world’s top brand of portable outdoor cooking systems.

   

The $15,420 of consideration paid in this acquisition was funded with existing cash and credit facilities. Approximately $3,200 of the purchase price was paid into a segregated escrow account which was set aside to fund potential indemnity claims that might be made by the Company against the Sellers in connection with the inaccuracy of certain representations and warranties made by Sellers or related to the breach or nonperformance of certain other actions or conditions related to the acquisition, for a period of 15 months from the acquisition date.  On February 14, 2014, the Company filed an indemnity claim against the Sellers and, as a result, received a distribution of  $1,600 from the escrow during the third fiscal quarter of 2014, which was recorded as a favorable adjustment in “Administrative management, finance and information systems” in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations in the Outdoor Equipment segment.    The remaining escrow balance was released to the Seller during the Company’s fiscal 2014.

 

 

The acquisition included an indefinite lived tradename valued at $5,400.   During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, forecasted cash flows related to Jetboil declined from the assumptions used in the initial valuation.  This change led the Company to perform an interim impairment test on the acquired indefinite lived intangible assets.  The test consisted of comparing the carrying value of the assets to their fair value.  The fair value was determined using a relief from royalty method under the income approach which uses projected revenue allocable to the tradename and a royalty rate at which it is assumed a market participant would be willing to incur as its cost to manufacture branded product.    As a result of this analysis, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $2,000 in “Goodwill and other intangible asset impairment” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in the Outdoor Equipment segment in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. 

 

Based on these same indicators of potential impairment, the Company also performed an impairment analysis on the goodwill related to the Outdoor Equipment-Consumer reporting unit using the income approach based on estimated cash flows.  As of the measurement date of June 27, 2014, the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its indicated fair value.  As a result, the Company proceeded to Step 2 of the impairment test and determined an impairment charge of $6,475, the entire carrying amount, was required.    The charge was included in “Goodwill and other intangible asset impairment” in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in the Outdoor Equipment segment.  The Company also evaluated long-lived assets and identified no impairment on those assets.  There were no further impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2015.
