| Acquisition of MotoGP |
(4) 听Acquisition of MotoGP On July 3, 2025 (the 鈥淐losing Date鈥), in alignment with our motorsport strategy, the Company acquired approximately 84% of the equity interests in MotoGP for a preliminary purchase price of approximately $3,659 million (approximately 鈧3,122 million), funded with cash on hand and borrowings of $1.0 billion under the Incremental Term Loans, as defined in note 9. Following the acquisition of MotoGP, approximately 16% of the equity interests in MotoGP continue to be owned by certain of the sellers (the 鈥淩ollover Sellers鈥). The total acquisition consideration for the MotoGP acquisition was denominated in Euros as required by the purchase agreement. Prior to the acquisition, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts for close to the full purchase price. A portion of the foreign currency forward contracts settled on June 30, 2025 and the remainder settled in July 2025. In January 2025, the Company paid a portion of the acquisition consideration of approximately $131 million (approximately 鈧126 million) in cash to the sellers to accommodate the European Commission鈥檚 extended regulatory review of the acquisition. On the Closing Date, the Company paid additional closing consideration of approximately $3,511 million (approximately 鈧2,996 million) in cash. The 鈧126 million was considered prepaid purchase consideration and was translated from Euros to U.S. dollars as of the Closing Date and was included in other assets as of December 31, 2024. 听The final translated amount of $148 million is the acquisition date fair value of the prepaid purchase consideration, with the difference of $17 million from the translation recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes on the condensed combined balance sheet. The preliminary acquisition price allocation for MotoGP is as follows:
The calculated value assigned to intangible assets has been estimated by management utilizing a third-party preliminary valuation report utilizing valuation techniques including the income, cost and market approaches. The Company has preliminarily identified goodwill, MotoGP鈥檚 rightsholder agreement with the FIM and customer relationships as the primary intangible assets. The FIM rightsholder agreement ($1,653 million with an estimated useful life of approximately 36 years) was valued utilizing the relief-from-royalty method. The customer relationship assets ($1,130 million with an estimated useful life of approximately 19 years) were valued utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a specific application of the discounted cash flow method. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the (i) identifiable net assets acquired and (ii) fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce, value associated with future customers, continued innovation and noncontractual relationships. None of the acquired goodwill is expected to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. As of September 30, 2025, the valuation related to the acquisition of MotoGP is not final, and the acquisition price allocation is preliminary and subject to revision. The primary areas of the acquisition price allocation that are not yet finalized are related to certain intangible assets, liabilities, redeemable noncontrolling interests and tax balances. As part of the MotoGP acquisition, the Company and the Rollover Sellers entered into a shareholders鈥 agreement that became effective on the Closing Date (the 鈥淪hareholders鈥 Agreement鈥).听 The Shareholders鈥 Agreement provides for, among other things, the liquidity rights of the Rollover Sellers with respect to the transfer of approximately 16% of the equity interests in MotoGP that continued to be owned by the Rollover Sellers subsequent to the Closing Date.听The Shareholders鈥 Agreement provides for certain put and call rights in favor of the Rollover Sellers and the Company.听The Rollover Sellers have the right to cause the Company to acquire the equity interests of MotoGP held by the Rollover Sellers as follows: (i) following the third anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) following the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, less any equity interests previously acquired by the Company, and (iii) all remaining equity interests held following the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date.听 Additionally, from and after the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company has an annual call right to acquire any or all remaining equity interests held by the Rollover Sellers and the Rollover Sellers have an annual put right to cause the Company to acquire any or all remaining equity interests held by the Rollover Sellers.听 The price to be paid by the Company to acquire any equity interests from the Rollover Sellers will be equal to the fair market value with such fair market value determined in accordance with the terms of the Shareholders鈥 Agreement.听 Upon the exercise of any put or call right, the Company is permitted to satisfy up to 50% of such consideration payable in the form of the delivery of unregistered shares of Series C 麻豆最新出品 Formula One common stock with the remaining consideration payable in cash.听 Since the potential redemption of the MotoGP equity interests held by the Rollover Sellers is not within the control of the Company and any redemption must also involve the use of cash, the Company accounts for the noncontrolling interest in MotoGP as a redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of permanent equity.听 The redeemable noncontrolling interest is initially recorded at fair value as part of the acquisition accounting. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest was derived from a model contractually defined in the Shareholders鈥 Agreement using observable market data as the significant inputs (Level 2). The carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest at each reporting period is the higher of (i) the cumulative amount that would result from applying the measurement guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation (鈥淎SC 810鈥) (i.e., the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interest鈥檚 share of net income or loss 鈥 as well as its share of other comprehensive income or loss 鈥 and dividends) or (ii) the redemption value. As the redeemable noncontrolling interest represents a common-share redeemable noncontrolling interest redeemable at fair value, any changes to the redemption value in excess of the cumulative amount that would result from applying the measurement guidance in ASC 810 are recorded directly to retained earnings, when necessary. As the adjustment is recorded directly to retained earnings, there are no related impacts when calculating basic or diluted earnings per share. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is not redeemable as of September 30, 2025, but it is probable it will become redeemable in the future solely based on the passage of time, as discussed above, with respect to the various anniversary dates following the Closing Date where the Rollover Sellers have the right to cause the Company to acquire the redeemable noncontrolling interest. Since it is probable the noncontrolling interest will become redeemable, the Company鈥檚 accounting policy is to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest to equal the redemption value at the end of the reporting period, in periods that the redemption value is higher than the cumulative amount that would result from applying the measurement guidance in ASC 810. 听This accounting policy method views the end of each reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the redeemable noncontrolling interest. 听 Included in net earnings (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are losses of approximately zero related to MotoGP鈥檚 operations since the date of acquisition, which includes amortization expense, net of income taxes, of approximately $38 million. The unaudited pro forma revenue and earnings of 麻豆最新出品, prepared utilizing the historical financial statements of MotoGP, giving effect to acquisition accounting related adjustments made at the time of acquisition, as if the acquisition of MotoGP discussed above occurred on January 1, 2024, are as follows:
The pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets. The pro forma information is not representative of the Company鈥檚 future results of operations nor does it reflect what the Company鈥檚 results of operations would have been if the acquisition of MotoGP had occurred previously and the Company consolidated MotoGP during the periods presented. |
