(2) Acquisitions

Onkyo

On April 29, 2021, the Company’s subsidiary, Premium Audio Company LLC (“PAC”), signed a Letter of Intent to acquire certain assets of the home audio/video business of Onkyo Home Entertainment Corporation (“OHEC”), along with Sharp Corporation (“Sharp”) as PAC’s partner. On May 26, 2021, PAC and Sharp signed an asset purchase agreement (“APA”) to jointly acquire certain assets of the home audio/video business of OHEC through a joint venture entity. The APA was approved by OHEC’s shareholders at its ordinary general meeting of shareholders on June 25, 2021 and on June 28, 2021, the Company announced that PAC had entered into a joint venture with Sharp in order to execute the transaction. PAC owns 77.2% of the joint venture and has an 85.1% voting interest and Sharp owns approximately 22.8% of the joint venture and has a 14.9% voting interest. On September 8, 2021, the newly formed joint venture, Onkyo Technology KK ("Onkyo"), completed the transaction to acquire certain assets of the home audio/video business of OHEC. The acquired assets consisted of intangible assets.

The joint venture agreement between PAC and Sharp also contains a put/call arrangement, whereby Sharp has the right to put its interest in the joint venture back to Voxx and Voxx has the right to the call Sharp’s ownership interest in the joint venture at any time after the approval of Onkyo’s annual financial statements for the year ending February 28, 2025 at a purchase price based on a formula as defined in the joint venture agreement.

 

The following summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price based upon the fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition:

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company recorded a net measurement period adjustment that increased goodwill by $7,973. The measurement period adjustment would have resulted in a decrease in amortization expense related to the tradenames and technology in the third quarter of Fiscal 2022 and was not significant. The Company made the measurement period adjustment to reflect facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and did not result from intervening events subsequent to such date. The purchase price allocation presented above is based upon preliminary estimates, including Level 3 inputs which were unobservable and subject to change. The assets acquired include trade names, technology, and goodwill. The amounts assigned to goodwill and intangible assets for the acquisition are as follows:

Contingent consideration is payable to OHEC based upon the calculation of 2% of the total price of certain future product purchases, as defined in the APA, by PAC. Such payments will be made to OHEC in perpetuity. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using an income approach, by estimating potential payments based on projections of future inventory purchases multiplied by the 2% payment and discounting them back to their present values using a weighted average cost of capital. A second discount rate was applied to account for the Company’s credit risk to arrive at the present value of the payments. As there is no set term and the payments will be made in perpetuity, a one-stage Gordon Growth Model was used to account for expected payments made beyond the last year of projections.

The preliminary fair values of the intangible assets and contingent consideration were determined with the assistance of a third-party valuation expert. We are in the process of refining the valuation of acquired assets, including goodwill, and expect to finalize the purchase price allocation no later than one year after the acquisition date, which is September 8, 2022. Finalization of the valuation during the measurement period could result in significant changes in the amounts recorded for the acquisition date fair value. Goodwill was determined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and represents workforce and expected cash flow generation for the Onkyo business that does not qualify for separate recognition as intangible assets.

The Company has consolidated the financial results of Onkyo since the acquisition date for financial reporting purposes. The non-controlling interest has been classified as redeemable non-controlling interest outside of equity on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as the exercise of the put option is not within the Company’s control. The carrying value of the redeemable non-controlling interest of Onkyo cannot be less than the redemption amount, which is the amount Sharp will settle the put option for if exercised. Adjustments to reconcile the carrying value to the redemption amount are recorded immediately to retained earnings. No adjustment was made to the carrying amount of

the redeemable non-controlling interest at August 31, 2022 as the carrying amount was in excess of the redemption amount.

The following table provides the rollforward of the redeemable non-controlling interest for the six months ended August 31, 2022:

The purpose of this acquisition was to expand the Company’s market share and product offerings within the premium audio industry. The joint venture owns the Onkyo and Integra brands and has the licensing rights to the Pioneer brands. It will market and sell a variety of products under the Onkyo, Integra, and Pioneer brands. Onkyo’s results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements of Voxx in our Consumer Electronics segment from September 8, 2021, and represents approximately 2.5% and 2.0% of the Company’s net sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2022. Prior to the acquisition, PAC operated under a distribution agreement with OHEC through its 11 Trading Company ("11TC") subsidiary, selling Onkyo and Pioneer products to Voxx customers. No additional customer contracts were acquired in conjunction with the acquisition and 11TC continues to sell these products to the same pre-acquisition customer base.

Historical financial statements for Onkyo prior to the acquisition were not available and it is impracticable for the Company to determine the impact the acquisition would have had on the Company’s revenue or net (loss) income had it been included in the consolidated results of the Company for the three and six months ended August 31, 2021.
