NOTE 2 – BUSINESS COMBINATION

After the close of business on November 29, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Mayoreo de Autopartes y Aceites, S.A. de C.V. (“Mayasa”), a specialty retailer of automotive aftermarket parts headquartered in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico pursuant to a stock purchase agreement.  At the time of the acquisition, Mayasa operated six distribution centers, 21 Orma Autopartes stores and served over 2,000 independent jobber locations in 28 Mexican states.  The results of Mayasa’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning from the date of acquisition.  Pro forma results of operations related to the acquisition of Mayasa are not presented as Mayasa’s results are not material to the Company’s results of operations. 

The purchase price allocation process consists of collecting data and information to enable the Company to value the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the business combination.  Potential identifiable intangible assets under evaluation include, but are not limited to, trade names and trademarks, non-compete agreements and customer relationships.  In addition, other assets, including internal use software, and other liabilities may be identified, valued and recorded.  Due to the close proximity of the Mayasa acquisition closing date and the Company’s fiscal year end, the Company remains in the initial measurement period.

The preliminary purchase price allocation, which is provisional and will change as additional information is obtained and valuation work is completed during the initial measurement period, resulted in the initial recognition of $128.1 million of goodwill and intangible assets included in “Goodwill” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019.  Goodwill generated from this acquisition is not amortizable for tax purposes.

See Note 6 for further information concerning the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets.
