NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS

Fiscal 2021 Acquisitions

On June 8, 2021, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the common shares of PLO del Bajio S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Bajio”) and gained control of the entity, further expanding our geographic footprint within Mexico with the addition of 128 pawn stores. These stores operate under the name "Cash Apoyo Efectivo" and are located principally in the Mexico City metropolitan area.

The total consideration for Bajio was $23.6 million, consisting of $17.4 million of cash, and 212,870 shares of our Class A Non-Voting Common Stock valued at $1.6 million. In addition, the sellers are entitled to additional payments of up to $4.6 million to be paid in two payments over the next two years, contingent on the growth of the loan portfolios of the acquired stores. Up to 50% of any future contingent payments can be made in shares of our Class A Non-Voting Common Stock at our discretion. The value of the contingent consideration was included in the total consideration as the metrics were considered achievable on the date of acquisition. Cash paid at closing was $11.6 million and $3.8 million was paid in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. Of the remaining $2.0 million, $1.6 million is expected to be paid prior to June 30, 2022, and $0.4 million is expected to be paid on or around the fifth anniversary of the date of acquisition .

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair market value of the new assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill.

The purchase price allocation is as follows, in thousands:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	308
Pawn loans	4,619
Pawn service charges receivable	1,335
Inventory	1,319
Property and equipment	2,025
Right-of-use assets	10,651
Goodwill	26,100
Intangible assets	3,965
Deferred tax asset, net	381
Other assets	746
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities	(2,290)
Debt	(14,931)
Lease liabilities	(10,651)
Total consideration	$	23,577

Intangible assets acquired consist of indefinite-lived trade names.

The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill, which is recorded in our Latin America Pawn segment, were based on several strategic and synergistic benefits we expect to realize from the acquisition, including expansion of our store base as well as the ability to further leverage our pawn expertise, investments in information technology and other back office and support functions of our existing Mexico pawn business. We expect none of the goodwill resulting from this business combination will be deductible for income tax purposes.

The results of Bajio have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition in our Latin America Pawn segment. The acquired business contributed revenues of $9.6 million and net loss of $0.1 million during the period subsequent to acquisition.

On June 9, 2021, we repaid $14.9 million of Bajio’s existing debt assumed in the acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information for us as if the business combination had occurred on October 1, 2019. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of our results of operations had the acquisitions been completed on the above date, nor is it necessarily indicative of our future results. The pro forma information does not reflect any cost savings from operating efficiencies or synergies that could result from the acquisitions, nor does it reflect additional revenue opportunities following the acquisition. The pro forma adjustments reflected in the table below are subject to change as additional analysis is performed.

	Fiscal Years Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2021		2020
Revenue	$	748,957	$	854,926
Net income (loss)	$	8,828	$	(65,206)
Basic earnings (loss) per common share	$	0.16	$	(1.18)
Diluted earnings (loss) per common share	$	0.16	$	(1.18)

We did not have any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma net revenue and net income.

During the fiscal year end ended September 30, 2021, we incurred total acquisition-related costs of $0.8 million. The acquisition-related costs were primarily related to legal, accounting and consulting services and were expensed as incurred through September 30, 2021, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In May 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets associated with 11 pawn stores in the Houston, Texas area, enhancing our position in this strategically important market. We have concluded that this acquisition was immaterial to our overall consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations, and, therefore, have omitted information that would otherwise be required.
