Acquisitions –
Four Corners:
In July 2018, we acquired the Four Corners Brewing Company LLC business, a portfolio of high-performing, dynamic and bicultural, Texas-based craft beers (“Four Corners”). This transaction primarily included the acquisition of operations, goodwill, property, plant and equipment, and trademarks, plus an earn-out over five years based on the performance of the brands. The results of operations of Four Corners are reported in the Beer segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

Other:
In October 2018, we acquired a business in Italy, consisting primarily of a production facility, vineyards and inventory, to provide for additional processing and sourcing capabilities for our Italian wine portfolio.

During the year ended February 28, 2018, we completed the acquisitions of other businesses, including the Funky Buddha Brewery LLC business, which included a portfolio of high-quality, Florida-based craft beers (“Funky Buddha”), and the Schrader Cellars, LLC business, which included a collection of highly-rated, limited-production fine wines (“Schrader Cellars”). The total combined purchase price for these acquisitions was $149.8 million. The purchase price for each acquisition was primarily allocated to goodwill and trademarks. In addition, the purchase price for Funky Buddha includes an earn-out over five years based on the performance of the brands. The results of operations of these acquired brands are reported in the respective segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from their respective date of acquisition.
