16. Acquisitions and Divestiture-Related Activities
PART II
- Acquisitions and Divestiture-Related Activities
Acquisitions
We spent $182.9 million and $72.5 million for several business acquisitions during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This includes $1.7 million of cash acquired in 2024. In addition, we spent $62.1 million and $56.4 million for several real estate acquisitions during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
In 2024, we acquired 26 funeral homes and 6 cemeteries. This includes two separate acquisitions in major metropolitan markets for $120.6 million in cash in the third quarter.
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 the two separate acquisitions in the third quarter (in thousands):
| Other current assets | $2,201 |
|---|---|
| Cemetery property | 1,972 |
| Property and equipment, net | 51,259 |
| Preneed receivables, net and trust investments | 50,194 |
| Indefinite-lived intangible assets | 24,316 |
| Deferred charges and other assets | 340 |
| Cemetery perpetual care trust investments | 9,223 |
| Goodwill | 72,290 |
| Total assets acquired | 211,795 |
| Current liabilities | 2,107 |
| Deferred revenue and deferred receipts held in trust | 60,855 |
| Long-term debt | 15,431 |
| Deferred tax liability | 3,003 |
| Care trusts' corpus | 9,223 |
| Other liabilities | 529 |
| Total liabilities assumed | 91,148 |
| Net assets acquired | $120,647 |
The purchase accounting is preliminary as we have not finalized our assessment of the fair value because there has been insufficient time between the acquisition date and the issuance of these financial statements to complete our review and final determination of fair value.
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 $72.3 million in recognized goodwill, $59.7 million is deductible for tax purposes. Of this total, $26.1 million was allocated to our cemetery segment, while $46.2 million was allocated to our funeral segment. The identified intangible assets are comprised of tradenames.
We incurred acquisition costs of $0.7 million, which is included in General and administrative expensesin our Consolidated Statement of Operations. These businesses contributed revenue of $7.7 million and net income of $0.8 million from acquisition through December 31, 2024.
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.
