Dogfish Head Brewery Merger

Sep. 28, 2019

Dogfish Head Brewery Merger

B.	Dogfish Head Brewery Transaction

On May 8, 2019,

the Company

entered into definitive agreements to acquire Dogfish Head Brewery

(“Dogfish Head”)

and various related operations (the “Transaction

”

), 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 operations. In accordance with these agreements,

the

mpany

made a payment of $158.4 million, which was placed in escrow pending the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. The Transaction 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. As required under the definitive agreements, 127,146 of the 429,291 shares of restricted Class A Stock have been placed in escrow and will be released no later than July 3, 2029. These shares had a market value on July 3, 2019 of $48.3 million. The timing of the release of these escrowed shares is primarily related to the continued employment with the Company of Samuel A. Calagione III, one of the two Dogfish Head founders

The fair value of the Transaction is estimated at approximately $317.7 million. The Company estimates that transaction-related and other

non-recurring

costs incurred and to be incurred as a result of the Transaction will total approximately $9.1 million. Of this total, $7.9 million had been expensed as of September 28, 2019

and consists of $3.3 million in transaction costs and $4.6 million in other non-recurring costs.

As part of the Transaction, certain members of Dogfish Head management entered into employment agreements with the Company and were granted 906 shares of restricted stock units that vest in one year and have a fair value of approximately $345,000. The Company funded the cash component of the Transaction through cash

on-hand

and its existing line of credit as described in Note

The following table summarizes the acquisition date fair value of the tangible assets, intangible assets, liabilities assumed, and related goodwill acquired from Dogfish Head, as well as the allocation of purchase price paid:


	Total (In Thousands)

Other liabilities		59

Total liabilities assumed		26,442

Net assets acquired	$	317,736

Cash consideration	$	172,993
Nominal value of equity issued		162,999
Fair Value reduction due to liquidity		(18,256	)

Estimated total purchase price	$	317,736

The Company accounted for the acquisition in accordance with the accounting standards codification guidance for business combinations, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired net tangible and intangible assets of Dogfish Head based on their fair values as of the Transaction closing date. The Company believes that the information available as of the Transaction closing date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed; however, the Company is continuing to finalize these amounts, particularly with respect to income taxes and valuation of inventories, fixed assets, and intangible assets. Thus, the preliminary measurements of fair value reflected are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the allocation of the purchase price as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the closing date of the acquisition, as required.

The fair value of the Dogfish Head brand trade name is estimated at approximately $98.5 million and the fair value of customer relationships is estimated at $3.8 million.

The Company

estimated the Dogfish Head brand trade name

will have

an indefinite life and customer relationships will have an estimated useful life of 15 years. The customer relationship intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the

15 year estimated useful life. The fair value of the deferred income tax liability assumed is $18.4 million, representing the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and their tax bas

s. The Company used a preliminary consolidated tax rate to determine the net deferred tax liabilities. The Company will record measurement period adjustments as the Company applies the appropriate tax rate for each legal entity within Dogfish Head. The expectation is that the Dogfish Head deferred income taxes will be subject to the Company’s consolidated rate

The excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill in the amount of $108.8 million.

Goodwill associated with the acquisition is primarily attributable to the future growth opportunities associated with the Transaction

expected synergies

and value of the workforce. The Company believes the majority of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of the brand trade name was determined utilizing the relief from royalty method which is a form of the income approach. Under this method, a royalty rate based on observed market royalties is applied to projected revenue supporting the trade name and discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The fair value of the property, plant and equipment was determined utilizing the cost and market valuation approaches.

The results of operations from Dogfish Head have been included in the Company’s consolidated statement

of operations since the July 3, 2019 Transaction closing date. During the three months ended

September

2019

, Dogfish Head represented $

27.7

million of the Company’s total revenue and $

3.4

million of total net income. Transaction costs incurred by the Company in connection with the

Transaction

were $

2.3

million

and

$3.3 million

for

thirteen and thirty

-nin

weeks

ended September

2019

respectively

and were recorded within general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Consistent with prior periods and considering post-merger reporting structures, the Company will continue to report as one operating segment. The combined Company’s brands are predominantly beverages that are manufactured using similar production processes, have comparable alcohol content, generally fall under the same regulatory environment, and are sold to the same types of customers in similar size quantities at similar price points and through the same channels of distribution.

The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared as if the Transaction and the related debt

financing had occurred as of December

2017

, the first day of the Company’s

2018

fiscal year. The pro forma amounts reflect the combined historical operational results for Boston Beer and Dogfish Head, after giving effect to adjustments related to the impact of purchase accounting, transaction costs and financing. The

unaudited

pro forma financial information is not indicative of the operational results that would have been obtained had the Transaction occurred as of that date, nor is it necessarily indicative of the Company’s future operational results. The following adjustments have been made:

(i)

Depreciation and amortization expenses were updated to reflect the fair value adjustments to Dogfish Head property, plant and equipment and intangible assets beginning December 31, 2017.

(ii)

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No.

2014-09,

Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)

. ASU

2014-09

supersedes virtually all existing revenue guidance. Under this standard, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. As such, an entity needs to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the previous guidance. On December 31, 2017, the Company adopted the new accounting standard and all related amendments using the modified retrospective method which allows application only to the most current reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. In accordance with the new accounting standard, the majority of the Company’s revenue continues to be recognized at the time its products are shipped. Upon adoption, the Company began recognition of certain variable customer promotional discount programs earlier than it had under the previous revenue guidance which resulted in a $1.0 million, net of tax, cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2018. The Company considers the impact of the adoption to be immaterial to its consolidated financial statements on an ongoing basis.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.

2016-02,

Leases (Topic 842). The guidance requires lessees to recognize

right-of-use

(“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Under ASU

2016-02,

lessees are permitted to use a modified retrospective approach, which requires an entity to recognize and measure leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented for the year beginning December 30, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.

2018-11,

Leases (Topic 842), permitting the use of an alternative modified retrospective approach that would result in an entity recognizing a lease liability and ROU asset as of the effective date of the requirements, with all comparative periods presented and disclosed, in accordance with ASC 840, Leases requirements, changing the date of initial application to the beginning of the period of adoption. On December 30, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard using the alternative modified retrospective approach, applying ASC 840 to all comparative periods, including disclosures. Upon adoption, the Company recognized ROU assets of $27.0 million and lease liabilities of $31.5 million. The Company considers the impact of the adoption to be immaterial to its consolidated financial statements on an ongoing basis.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

. Prior to ASU No.

2017-04,

the goodwill impairment test is a

two-step

assessment if indicators of impairment exist. The first step requires an entity to compare each reporting unit’s carrying value and its fair value. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds the fair value, then the entity must perform the second step, which is to compare the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying value, and record an impairment charge for any excess of carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value. An entity also has the option to perform a qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU

2017-04

simplifies the goodwill impairment test by eliminating the second step of the test. As such, an entity will perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. If fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no impairment should be recorded. ASU

Revenue Recognition

E.	Revenue Recognition

During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 approximately 95% of the Company’s revenue was from shipments of its products to domestic

istributors and 4% from shipments to international

istributors, primarily located in Canada. Approximately 1% of the Company’s revenue is from retail beer, cider, and merchandise sales at the Company’s retail locations.

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 all conditions are met. As of September 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, the Company has deferred $6.9 million and $4.6 million, respectively in revenue related to product shipped prior to these dates. These amounts are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Customer promotional discount programs are entered

into by the Company with

istributors for certain periods of time. The reimbursements for discounts to

istributors are recorded a

s reductions to net revenue and were $14.8 million and $34.5 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019, respectively. Reimbursements for discounts for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2018 were $11.1 million and $26.8 million, respectively. The agreed-upon discount rates are applied to certai

stributors’ sales to retailers, based on volume metrics, in order to determine the total discounted

amount. The computation of the discount allowance requires that management make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the timing and amounts of revenue and liabilities recorded. Actual promotional discounts owed and paid have historically been in line with allowances recorded by the Company, however, the amounts could differ from the estimated allowance.

Customer programs and incentives are a common practice in the alcohol beverage industry. Amounts paid in connection with customer programs and incentives are recorded as reductions to net revenue or as advertising, promotional and selling expenses

based on the nature of the expenditure. Customer incentives and other payments made to

istributors are primarily based upon performance of certain marketing and advertising activities. Depending on applicable state laws and regulations, these activities promoting the Company’s products may include, but are not limited to

point-of-sale

and merchandise placement, samples, product displays, promotional programs at retail locations and meals, travel and entertainment. Amounts paid to customers in connection with these programs that were recorded as reductions to revenue for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 were $6.2 million and $13.0 million, respectively. Amounts paid to customers in connection with these programs that were recorded as reductions to revenue for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2018 were $3.5 million and $9.7 million, respectively. Estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of program or customer and have historically been in line with actual costs incurred.

The Company benefited from a reduction in federal excise taxes of $2.8 million and $2.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, respectively, as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company benefited from a reduction in federal excise taxes of $6.6 million and $4.8 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, respectively, as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

Inventories

F.	Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. Raw materials, which principally consist of hops, apple juice, other brewing materials and packaging, are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the

first-in,

first-out

basis, or net realizable value. The Company’s goal is to maintain on hand a supply of at least one year for essential hop varieties, in order to limit the risk of an unexpected reduction in supply. Inventories are generally classified as current assets. The Company classifies hops inventory in excess of two years of forecasted usage in other long-term assets. The cost elements of work in process and finished goods inventory consist of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories consist of the following:

Leases

The Company has various lease agreements in place for facilities and equipment. Terms of these leases include, in some instances, scheduled rent increases, renewals, purchase options and maintenance costs, and vary by lease. These lease obligations expire at various dates through 2031. As the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement to determine the present value of the lease payments. Based on the present value of the lease payments for the remaining lease term of the Company’s existing leases, the Company recognized ROU assets of $27.0 million and lease liabilities of $31.5 million upon adoption of ASU No.

2016-02

on December 30, 2018. ROU assets and lease liabilities commencing after December 30, 2018 are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 mont

hs or less

(“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of September 28, 2019, total ROU assets and lease liabilities were as follows:

Net Income per Share

H.	Net Income per Share

The Company calculates net income per share using the

two-class

method, which requires the Company to allocate net income to its Class A Common Shares, Class B Common Shares and unvested share-based payment awards that participate in dividends with common stock, in the calculation of net income per share.

The Class A Common Stock has no voting rights, except (1) as required by law, (2) for the election of Class A Directors, and (3) that the approval of the holders of the Class A Common Stock is required for (a) certain future authorizations or issuances of additional securities which have rights senior to Class A Common Stock, (b) certain alterations of rights or terms of the Class A or Class B Common Stock as set forth in the Articles of Organization of the Company, (c) other amendments of the Articles of Organization of the Company, (d) certain mergers or consolidations with, or acquisitions of, other entities, and (e) sales or dispositions of any significant portion of the Company’s assets.

The Class B Common Stock has full voting rights, including the right to (1) elect a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and (2) approve all (a) amendments to the Company’s Articles of Organization, (b) mergers or consolidations with, or acquisitions of, other entities, (c) sales or dispositions of any significant portion of the Company’s assets, and (d) equity-based and other executive compensation and other significant corporate matters. The Company’s Class B Common Stock is not listed for trading. Each share of the Class B Common Stock is freely convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock, upon request of the respective Class B holder, and participates equally in dividends.

The Company’s unvested share-based payment awards include unvested shares (1) issued under the Company’s investment share program, which permits employees who have been with the Company for at least one year to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and to purchase those shares at a discount ranging from 20% to 40% below market value based on years of employment starting after two years of employment, and (2) awarded as restricted stock awards at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The investment shares and restricted stock awards generally vest over

five years

in equal number of shares. The unvested shares participate equally in dividends. See Note

for a discussion of the current year unvested stock awards and issuances.

Included in the computation of net income per diluted common share are dilutive outstanding stock options and restricted stock that are vested or expected to vest. At its discretion, the Board of Directors grants stock options and restricted stock to senior management and certain key employees. The terms of the employee stock options are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. To date, stock options granted to employees vest over various service periods and/or based on the attainment

of certain performance criteria and generally expire after ten years. In December 2018, the Employee Equity Incentive Plan was amended to permit the grant of restricted stock units. The restricted stock units generally vest over four years in equal number of shares. Each restricted stock unit represents an unfunded and unsecured right to receive one share of Class A Stock upon satisfaction of the vesting criteria. The unvested shares participate equally in dividends and are forfeitable. Prior to March 1, 2019, the Company granted restricted stock awards, generally vesting over

five years

in equal number of shares. The Company also grants stock options to its

non-employee

directors upon election or

re-election

to the Board of Directors. The number of option shares granted to

non-employee

directors is calculated based on a defined formula and these stock options vest immediately upon grant and expire after ten years.

During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019, weighted-average stock options to purchase approximately 27,000 and 21,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding but not included in computing dilutive income per common share because their effects were anti-dilutive. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2018, weighted-average stock options to purchase approximately zero and 653,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding but not included in computing dilutive income per common share because their effects were anti-dilutive. Additionally, performance-based stock options to purchase approximately 10,000 and 61,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding as of September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, respectively, but not included in computing diluted income per common share because the performance criteria of these stock options w

not met as of the end of the reporting period.

The performance-based stock options to purchase approximately 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that were excluded from computing diluted net income per common share as of September 28, 2019, were granted in 2016 to a key employee. The vesting of these shares requires annual depletions, or sales by

Fair Value Measures

Fair Value Measures

M.	Fair Value Measures

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

•

Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

•

Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

•

Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company’s money market funds are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The money market funds are invested substantially in United States Treasury and government securities. The Company does not adjust the quoted market price for such financial instruments. Cash, receivables and payables are carried at their cost, which approximates fair value, because of their short-term nature.

At September 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, the Company had money market funds with a “Triple A” rated money market fund. The Company considers the “Triple A” rated money market fund to be a large, highly-rated investment-grade institution. As of September 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $27.1 million and $108.4 million, respectively, including money market funds amounting to $21.4 million and $107.5 million, respectively

- Definition
