ACQUISITIONS Icebreaker
On April 3, 2018, VF acquired 100% of the stock of Icebreaker Holdings Limited ("Icebreaker") for NZ$274.4 million ($198.5 million) in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The purchase price was primarily funded with short-term borrowings. The purchase price decreased NZ$1.4 million ($0.9 million) during the year ended March 2019, related to working capital adjustments, resulting in a revised purchase price of NZ$273.0 million ($197.6 million). The purchase price allocation was finalized during the three months ended March 2019.
Icebreaker was a privately held company based in Auckland, New Zealand. Icebreaker®, the primary brand, specializes in high-performance apparel based on natural fibers, including Merino wool, plant-based fibers and recycled fibers. It is an ideal complement to VF's Smartwool® brand, which also features Merino wool in its clothing and accessories. Together, the Smartwool® and Icebreaker® brands position VF as a global leader in the Merino wool and natural fiber categories.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the Icebreaker assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:
The goodwill is attributable to the acquired workforce of Icebreaker and the significant synergies expected to arise as a result of the acquisition. All of the goodwill has been assigned to the Outdoor segment and none is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The Icebreaker® trademark, which management determined to have an indefinite life, was valued at $70.1 million. Amortizable intangible assets were assigned values of $27.8 million for customer relationships and $0.2 million for distribution agreements. Customer relationships are being amortized using an accelerated method over 11.5 years. Distribution agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over four years.
Total transaction expenses for the Icebreaker acquisition of $7.4 million were recognized in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income, of which $4.1 million was recognized during the nine months ended December 2018 and the remainder was recognized prior to Fiscal 2019. In addition, the Company recognized a $9.9 million gain on derivatives used to hedge the purchase price of Icebreaker in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income, of which $0.3 million was recognized during the nine months ended December 2018 and the remainder was recognized prior to Fiscal 2019.
