Business Acquisition

On February 10, 2017, the Company acquired WCI Communities, Inc. ("WCI") a homebuilder of luxury single and multifamily homes, including a small percentage of luxury high-rise tower units, with operations in Florida. WCI stockholders received $642.6 million in cash. The cash consideration was funded primarily from working capital and from proceeds from the issuance of 4.125% senior notes due 2022 (see Note 12).

Based on an evaluation of the provisions of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, ("ASC 805"), Lennar Corporation was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The following table summarizes the provisional purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, which are subject to change within a measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date pursuant to ASC 805. The purchase price allocation is provisional pending completion of the fair value analysis of acquired assets and liabilities assumed:

(In thousands)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and receivables, net	$	42,079
Inventories	613,495
Intangible assets (1)	59,283
Goodwill (2)	160,270
Deferred tax assets, net	84,078
Other assets	66,173
Total assets	1,025,378
Liabilities:
Accounts payable	26,735
Senior notes and other debts payable	282,793
Other liabilities	73,228
Total liabilities	382,756
Total purchase price	$	642,622

(1) Intangible assets include non-compete agreements and a trade name. The amortization period for these intangible assets was six months for the non-compete agreements and 20 years for the trade name.

(2) Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and it is not deductible for income tax purposes. As of the merger date, goodwill consisted primarily of purchasing and other synergies resulting from the merger, expected production, savings in corporate and division overhead costs and expected expanded opportunities for growth through a higher-end more luxurious product, greater presence in the state of Florida and customer diversity. The provisional amount of goodwill allocated to the Company's Homebuilding East segment was $140.3 million and to the Lennar Financial Services segment was $20.0 million. These provisional amounts were based on the relative fair value of each acquired reporting unit in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.

For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017, Lennar Homebuilding revenues included $149.6 million and $351.9 million, respectively, of home sales revenues from WCI and earnings before income taxes included $20.0 million and $33.2 million, respectively, of pre-tax earnings from WCI since the date of acquisition, which included transaction-related expenses of $6.9 million and $25.9 million, respectively, comprised mainly of severance costs, general and administrative expenses, and amortization expense related to non-compete agreements and trade name since the date of acquisition. These transaction expenses were included primarily within Lennar Homebuilding selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017. The pro-forma effect of the acquisition on the results of operations is not presented as this acquisition was not considered material.
