16. Acquisitions and Divestiture-Related Activities

PART II

  1. Acquisitions and Divestiture-Related Activities

Acquisitions

In 2023, we acquired 17 funeral homes and 2 cemeteries for $72.5 million in cash and $56.4 million for real estate transactions. This amount includes the use of $24.0 million in IRS Section 1031 exchange funds. This compares to $102.6 million and $121.4 million, net of cash acquired, for several business acquisitions, and $17.1 million and $26.6 million, net of cash acquired, for several real estate acquisitions for years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The 2022 acquisitions include ten funeral homes and three cemeteries in California as part of two acquisitions (the "2022 California Businesses") for $71.2 million in cash. This amount includes the use of $13.2 million in IRS Section 1031 exchange funds.

The primary reasons for the acquisitions and the principal factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill in these acquisitions were:

the acquisitions enhance our network footprint, enabling us to serve a number of new, complementary areas; and

the acquisitions of the preneed backlog of deferred revenues enhance our long-term stability.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

Other current assets$241

Total liabilities assumed21,594
Net assets acquired$71,220

Goodwill, land, and certain identifiable intangible assets recorded in the acquisitions are not subject to amortization; however, the goodwill and intangible assets will be tested periodically for impairment. Of the $36.2 million in goodwill recognized, all of which is deductible for tax purposes, $17.3 million was allocated to our cemetery segment and $18.9 million was allocated to our funeral segment. The identified intangible assets are indefinite lived tradenames with a fair value of $14.3 million.

We incurred acquisition costs of $0.2 million, which is included in General and administrative expensesin our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. The 2022 California Businesses contributed revenue of $1.9 million and net income of $0.5 million from acquisition through December 31, 2022.

The 2021 acquisitions include twenty-one funeral homes and one cemetery in two states as part of two acquisitions (the "Ohio and California Businesses") for $94.8 million in cash. This amount includes the use of $6.1 million in IRS Section 1031 exchange funds.

The primary reasons for the acquisitions and the principal factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill in these acquisitions were:

the acquisitions enhance our network footprint, enabling us to serve a number of new, complementary areas; and

the acquisitions of the preneed backlog of deferred revenues enhance our long-term stability.
