Off-Centered Way LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Nature of operations: Off-Centered Way LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company) operate a brewery, two restaurants, a distillery and a boutique inn. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Off-Centered Way and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the incurred but not yet reported medical claims, overhead allocations, amortization and depreciation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash: The Company maintains its cash accounts in one commercial bank. The amount on deposit at December 31, 2018 exceeded the insurance limits ($250,000) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations by $18,082,385. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable are reported at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Differences between the amount due and the amount management expects to collect are reported in the results of operations in the year in which those differences are determined. The Company recorded an allowance of $13,442 at December 31, 2018. No allowance was considered necessary at December 31, 2017.
Inventories: Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods, which are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or net realizable value. Raw materials principally consist of hops, malt, barley, other brewing ingredients and packaging materials. The cost elements of work in process and finished goods inventory consist of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. The provisions for excess or expired inventory are based on managements estimates of forecasted usage of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording provisions for excess or expired inventory in the future. Provisions for excess and expired inventory are included in cost of sales and totaled approximately $380,000 and $176,000, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for new assets and those that substantially increase the useful lives of existing property, plant or equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the lease terms.
The Company computes its depreciation, net of salvage value, as follows:
Method | Life (Years) | |||||||
Buildings and improvements |
Straight-line | 10-40 | ||||||
Brewery, distillery and food preparation equipment |
Straight-line | 3-30 | ||||||
Office equipment and furniture |
Straight-line | 3-15 | ||||||
Vehicles |
Straight-line | 5-10 |

Off-Centered Way LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company regularly reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets, as well as their useful lives, to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist, which warrant adjustments to carrying values or estimated useful lives. The Company has not recognized any impairment losses during 2018 and 2017.
Debt issuance costs: Debt issuance costs are being amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective-interest method over the life of the related debt instruments. The Company presents the debt issuance costs as a reduction to the carrying amount of the related debt. Unamortized debt issuance costs was $14,622 and $17,597 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met:
| Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. |
| Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. |
| The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable. |
| Collectability is reasonably assured. |
Revenue includes product revenue, revenue from the sales of beer, wine, food and merchandise at the Companys tasting room and revenue from the Brew Pub and the Inn. The majority of the Companys revenue is recognized on product sales to distributors or through sales to owned and operated outlets at the time the product is shipped. Revenue on rooms at the Inn are recognized when rooms are occupied, and the Company has rendered the services. The remaining revenue is recognized at the point of the sale.
Shipping and handling costs: Shipping and handling billed to customers are in included in sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of sales.
Advertising and promotion costs: Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled $1,202,390 and $839,884, respectively, and are included in selling expenses.
Income taxes: As a limited liability company, the Company has elected partnership status under the Internal Revenue Code for tax purposes and, as such, is not directly subject to federal income taxes and most state income taxes. Instead, the participating members are required to report their respective proportionate shares of taxable income (loss), tax deductions and credits on their respective income tax returns. As a result, no income taxes would be currently due and payable.
The Company has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions to be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements. Any penalties and interest that may be assessed by income tax authorities will be included in operating expenses. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2015.
Excise taxes: The Company is responsible for compliance with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the U.S. Treasury Department (the TTB) regulations, which includes making timely and accurate excise tax payments. Excise tax expense included in cost of sales was $3,854,487 and $4,526,072 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Off-Centered Way LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
Fair value measurements: As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying values reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the relative terms and short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value since this financial instrument bears interest at a variable rate, which approximates current market rates for bonds with similar maturity and credit quality.
Reclassification: Certain amounts on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2017, have been reclassified, with no effect on net income, to conform to the presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
New accounting pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updated (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which results in comprehensive new revenue accounting guidance, requires enhanced disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized, and develops a common revenue standard under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Specifically, the core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. With the issuance of ASU 2015-01, which deferred the effective date by one year, this guidance is effective January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2018. The guidance can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the new standard will have on the combined financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840), and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Note 3. | Line of Credit |
The Brewery maintains a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit, term loan (Note 4), and letters of credit. Substantially all of the Brewerys assets are pledged as collateral under the terms of the credit agreement. In addition, the credit agreement is guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company. The line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin (3.00% and 2.18% at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively) and matures on March 11, 2019. In addition, the Brewery pays a quarterly unused fee equal to 0.075% of the difference between $20,000,000 and the average outstanding principal balance during each quarter. The quarterly unused fee paid in both 2018 and 2017 was approximately $15,000. At December 31, 2018, the Brewery had $265,000 of outstanding letters of credit with the Bank. The outstanding amount reduces the available amount that can be drawn on the line of credit. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As described in Note 12, on February 21, 2019 the Company secured a new line of credit.

Note 9. | Commitment and Contingencies |
The Company has committed to the purchase of additional equipment and improvements totaling approximately $2,400,000 which will be acquired in 2019.
The Company had outstanding total non-cancelable purchase commitments for certain raw materials and packaging from various suppliers totaling approximately $24,525,000 at December 31, 2018. Raw materials contracts extend through 2021 and specify both the quantities and prices to which the Company is committed. Packaging agreements only extend through 2019 and is based on forecasted use.

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal matters. It is the opinion of management that these matters do not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Note 10. | Loyalty Program |
The Company launched the Off Centered Society (Society) in September 2018. The Society allows members to earn points for each purchase completed at the Brewery, Inn, or Brewpub. The value of the points earned by the Society members is recognized as deferred revenue, which is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets, and a reduction in revenue at the time the points are earned, based on the value of points that are projected to be redeemed. The estimate of amount and timing of redemptions is based on industry data. For the period ended December 31, 2018 total deferred revenue totaled approximately $17,500. The Company does not believe there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions of the revenue recognition, which would materially impact the consolidated financial statements.
Note 11. | Health Insurance |
The Company has a self-insurance program for its employees health care costs. The Company is liable for claims up to $75,000 per covered individual per year.

The total accrued liability for self-insurance costs was $111,178 and $105,776 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. Costs resulting from noninsured losses are charged to operating expenses when incurred.
Note 12. | Subsequent Events |

On February 21, 2019, the Company paid off the term loan. Simultaneously with this pay off, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement with the Bank to extend the maturity date of the line of credit to February 21, 2024. In addition, the amendment allows the Brewery to request, subject to approval of the Bank, incremental increases of $5,000,000 to the existing availability of $20,000,000 up to a maximum availability of $35,000,000.
The Company is not aware of any other subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

OFF-CENTERED WAY LLC and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Overview
Organization and Description of Business: Off-Centered Way LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company) operate a brewery, two restaurants, a distillery and a boutique inn. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Off-Centered Way and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited Financial Information: The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019, the consolidated statements of income, changes in members equity, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, and the related notes are unaudited. These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In managements opinion, the unaudited financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys statements of financial position and operating results for the periods presented.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the incurred but not yet reported medical claims, overhead allocations, amortization and depreciation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash: The Company maintains its cash accounts in one commercial bank. The amount on deposit at June 30, 2019, exceeded the insurance limits ($250,000) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations by approximately $5.5 million. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk on cash.
Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable are reported at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Differences between the amount due and the amount management expects to collect are reported in the results of operations in the period in which those differences are determined. No allowance was considered necessary at June 30, 2019. The Company recorded an allowance of $13,442 at December 31, 2018.
Inventories: Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods, which are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or net realizable value. Raw materials principally consist of hops, malt, barley, other brewing materials and packaging. The cost elements of work in process and finished goods inventory consist of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. The provisions for excess or expired inventory are based on managements estimates of forecasted usage of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording provisions for excess or expired inventory in the future. Provisions for excess and expired inventory are included in cost of goods sold and totaled approximated $836,000 and $450,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for new assets and those that substantially increase the useful lives of existing property, plant or equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income in the period incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the lease terms.
6
The Company computes its depreciation, net of salvage value, as follows:
Method | Life (Years) | |||
Buildings and improvements |
Straight-line | 10-40 | ||
Brewery, distillery and food preparation equipment |
Straight-line | 3-30 | ||
Office equipment and furniture |
Straight-line | 3-15 | ||
Vehicles |
Straight-line | 5-10 |
Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company regularly reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets, as well as their useful lives, to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist, which warrant adjustments to carrying values or estimated useful lives. The Company has not recognized any impairment losses during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or June 30, 2018.
Debt issuance costs: Debt issuance costs are being amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective-interest method over the life of the related debt instruments. The Company presents the debt issuance costs as a reduction to the carrying amount of the related debt. There were no unamortized debt issuance costs at June 30, 2019.
Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with its customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of its products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring products. If the conditions for revenue recognition are not met, the Company defers the revenue until the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the associated promised good or service.
Revenue includes product revenue, revenue from the sales of beer, wine, food and merchandise at the Companys two restaurants and tasting room and revenue from the Companys boutique Inn. The majority of the Companys revenue is recognized on product sales to distributors or through sales to owned and operated outlets at the time the product is shipped. Revenue on rooms at the boutique Inn is recognized when rooms are occupied, and the Company has rendered the services. The remaining revenue is recognized at the point of the sale.
Shipping and handling costs: Shipping and handling billed to customers are included in sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of sales.
Advertising and promotion costs: Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling expenses.
Excise taxes: The Company is responsible for compliance with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the U.S. Treasury Department (the TTB) regulations, which includes making timely and accurate excise tax payments. Excise tax expense included in cost of sales was $1.7 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
Fair value measurements: As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the carrying values reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the relative terms and short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value since this financial instrument bears interest at a variable rate, which approximates current market rates for bonds with similar maturity and credit quality.

C. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updated (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which results in comprehensive new revenue accounting guidance, requires enhanced disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized, and develops a common revenue standard under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Specifically, the core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The Company adopted 2014-09, on July 3, 2019 as part of the merger with the Boston Beer Company, as noted in Note N. The Company considers the impact of the adoption to be immaterial to its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840), and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to previous guidance for operating leases. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, on July 3, 2019 as part of the merger with the Boston Beer Company, as noted in Note N. The Company considers the impact of the adoption to be immaterial to its consolidated financial statements.

The Company maintains a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit, with an option to increase up to $35,000,000, a term loan (Note F), and letters of credit. Substantially all the Companys assets are pledged as collateral under the terms of the credit agreement. In addition, the credit agreement is guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company. The line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin and matures on February 21, 2024. In addition, the Company pays a quarterly unused fee equal to 0.075% of the difference between $20,000,000 and the average outstanding principal balance during each quarter. There was $2,000,000 outstanding on the line of credit at June 30, 2019 which was repaid in full on July 3, 2019. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit at December 31, 2018.
8
F. Note Payable
The term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. Quarterly principal payments in the amount of $1,000,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest was due December 31, 2018. The remaining principal balance of $20,000,000 at December 31, 2018 was paid on February 21, 2019 and the credit agreement with the Bank was amended and restated. There was no balance outstanding on the note payable as of June 30, 2019.
G. Members Equity
The Company had 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Units (Preferred Units) and 5,514,282 shares of Common Units authorized, issued and outstanding at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Preferred Units and the Common Units both are treated as one class of equity for voting purposes as each share receives one vote. Preferred Units are convertible into Common Units. The Preferred Units accrued a 15.25% preferred return.
H. Commitments and Contingencies
Contract Obligations
The Company had outstanding non-cancelable purchase commitments for raw materials, packaging, property plant and equipment and operating leases. Raw material contracts extend through 2021 and specify both quantities and prices to which the Company is committed. Packaging commitments extend through 2019 and are based on forecasted use. Annual rent commitments extend through 2022, and the rent expense related to the restaurant properties is paid to an unconsolidated related entity under common ownership with certain Members of the Company.
Litigation
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal matters. It is the opinion of management that these matters do not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
I. Income Taxes
As a limited liability company, the Company has elected partnership status under the Internal Revenue Code for tax purposes and, as such, is not directly subject to federal income taxes and most state income taxes. Instead, the participating members are required to report their respective proportionate shares of taxable income (loss), tax deductions and credits on their respective income tax returns. As a result, no income taxes would be currently due and payable.
The Company has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions to be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements. Any penalties and interest that may be assessed by income tax authorities will be included in operating expenses. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2015.
J. Employee Retirement Plans
The Company provides a voluntary 401(k) employee benefit plan, which covers all eligible employees. The Company makes discretionary matching contributions subject to a maximum level, in accordance with the terms of the plan. The Company charged $363,000 and $374,000 to expense under the provisions of the plan during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
9
K. Related Party Transactions
At June 30, 2019, approximately $495,000 was due from Members of the Company which was included in the current and long term due from related parties line items on the consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2018, approximately $190,145 was due from Members of the Company of which $4,145 was included in the accounts receivable line item on the consolidated balance sheet and $186,000 was included in the long term due from related parties line item on the consolidated balance sheets.
Rent expense for the restaurant buildings for the interim period ended June 30, 2019, and the fiscal period ended June 30, 2018 included approximately $126,000 and $103,000, respectively, paid to an unconsolidated related entity under common ownership with certain Members of the Company. The Company previously adopted ASU 2014-07, Applying Variable Interest Entities Guidance to Common Control Leasing Arrangements. Under the accounting guidance, the Company did not consolidate the effects of the common ownership of the related party lease arrangement as a part of the consolidated financial statements. The rent expense of the lease was recorded in the consolidated statements of income. The Company is not exposed to any liabilities held by the related party related to the leased space.
L. Loyalty Program
The Company launched the Off Centered Society (Society) in September 2018. The Society allows members to earn points for each purchase completed at the Companys restaurants, tap room and Inn. The value of the points earned by the Society members is recognized as deferred revenue, which is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets, and a reduction in revenue at the time the points are earned, based on the value of points that are projected to be redeemed. The estimate of amount and timing of redemptions is based on industry data. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 total deferred revenue totaled approximately $29,700 and $17,500, respectively, and was included in the accrued expenses line item on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not believe there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions of the revenue recognition, which would materially impact the consolidated financial statements.
M. Health Insurance
The Company has a self-insurance program for its employees health care costs. The Company is liable for claims up to $75,000 per covered individual per year. Self-insurance costs are accrued based on claims reported as of the consolidated balance sheet date as well as an estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported. The total accrued liability for self-insurance costs was $118,000 and $111,000 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and was included in the accrued expenses line item on the consolidated balance sheets. Costs resulting from noninsured losses are charged to operating expenses when incurred.
N. Subsequent Events
On May 8, 2019, equity holders of the Company entered into definitive agreements to sell all the equity interests held by certain private entities in the Company and various related operations to The Boston Beer Company, Inc. (Boston Beer). The Company closed the transaction on July 3, 2019, for consideration consisting of $173.0 million in cash and 429,291 shares of Boston Beer restricted Class A Common Stock that had an aggregate market value as of July 3, 2019 of $163.0 million, after taking into account a post-closing cash related adjustment. The transaction qualified as a business combination with the fair value adjustments being pushed down to the Company on July 3, 2019.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the balance sheet date, June 30, 2019, and concluded that there were no other events of which management was aware that occurred after the balance sheet date that would require any adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Exhibit 99.3
The Boston Beer Company, Inc.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 29, 2019 and unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019 and the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018 are based on the historical financial statements of Boston Beer Company Inc. (Boston Beer) and Off-Centered Way LLC and Subsidiaries (Dogfish Head Brewery), as adjusted to give effect to the following transaction (the Transaction):
On May 8, 2019, Boston Beer entered into definitive agreements to acquire Dogfish Head Brewery and various related operations, through the acquisition of all of the equity interests held by certain private entities in Off-Centered Way LLC, the parent holding company of the Dogfish Head Brewery operations. In accordance with these agreements, Boston Beer made a payment of $158.4 million, which was placed in escrow pending the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. The Transaction was closed on July 3, 2019, for total consideration of $336.0 million, consisting of $173.0 million in cash and 429,291 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock that had an aggregate market value as of July 3, 2019 of $163.0 million, after taking into account a post-closing cash related adjustment. The fair value of the Transaction is estimated at approximately $317.7 million.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the Transaction as if it occurred on June 29, 2019, and the unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the twenty-six ended June 29, 2019 and the year ended December 29, 2018 give effect to the Transaction as if it occurred on December 31, 2017, the first day of Boston Beers 2018 fiscal year. Boston Beers fiscal year is a fifty-two week or fifty-three week period ending on the last Saturday in December. June 29, 2019 is the last day of Boston Beers fiscal second quarter and December 29, 2018 is the last day of Boston Beers 2018 fiscal year. Dogfish Head Brewery has historically had a calendar year reporting period and has converted to Boston Beers fiscal year effective July 3, 2019.
For pro forma purposes, Boston Beers historic results have been presented on a fiscal year basis and have been combined with Dogfish Head Brewerys results which have been presented on a calendar year basis. The differences between Dogfish Head Brewerys results as presented on a calendar year basis versus the Boston Beer fiscal calendar are not deemed to be material.
Both Boston Beers and Dogfish Head Brewerys consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to represent what the results of operations or financial position would actually have been had the Transaction occurred on the dates described above or to project the results of operations or financial position for any future date or period. The information does not reflect cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that may result from the Transaction or the costs to achieve any such potential cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements.
The information reflects Boston Beers preliminary estimates of the allocation of the purchase price for Dogfish Head Brewery based upon available information and certain assumptions that Boston Beer believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocations that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill. As indicated in Note 1 to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, Boston Beer made preliminary estimates of the fair values in order to prepare the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, and the excess purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets has been recorded as goodwill. The valuations consist of a discounted cash flow analysis or other appropriate valuation techniques to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Actual results may differ from the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements once Boston Beer has completed the valuations necessary to finalize the allocation of purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Decreases or increases in the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed would result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the amount of goodwill. In addition, if the value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired is higher than the preliminary purchase price allocation, it may result in higher amortization and/or depreciation expense than is presented in these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with:
| Boston Beers historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in Boston Beers Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 29, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on February 20, 2019; |
| Boston Beers historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in Boston Beers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its quarter ended June 29, 2019, filed with the Commission on July 25, 2019; |
| Dogfish Head Brewerys historical financial statements and accompanying notes for the years ended, December 31, 2018 and 2017, included as Exhibit 99.1 in this amended Current Report on Form 8-K; |
| Dogfish Head Brewerys unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, included as Exhibit 99.2 in this amended Current Report on Form 8-K; and |
| The Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Boston Beers Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 9, 2019. |
