Acquisition of Eagle Alcohol [Abstract]  
ACQUISITION OF EAGLE ALCOHOL
2. ACQUISITION OF EAGLE ALCOHOL.

 

On January 14, 2022, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interests of Eagle Alcohol. The purchase price was $14.0 million in cash plus an estimated net working capital adjustment of $1.3 million in cash. The selling members of Eagle Alcohol were eligible to receive up to an additional $14.0 million of contingent consideration, payable through a combination of $9.0 million in cash over the succeeding three years and an aggregate of $5.0 million in the Company’s common stock on the fourth- and fifth-year anniversaries of the closing date, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including continued employment with the Company. With respect to these payments, the Company accrued $2.8 million and $3.5 million in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, with the expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years then ended.

 

Eagle Alcohol specializes in break bulk distribution of specialty alcohols. Eagle Alcohol purchases bulk alcohol from suppliers and then stores, denatures, packages, and resells alcohol products in smaller sizes, including tank trucks, totes and drums that typically garner a premium price to bulk alcohols. Eagle Alcohol delivers products to customers in the beverage, food, industrial and related-process industries via its own dedicated trucking fleet and common carrier. The acquisition has provided the Company further vertical integration and access to new markets in the specialty alcohol industry.

 

As part of the Company’s allocation of purchase price for its acquisition of Eagle Alcohol, the Company recorded a customer relationships intangible asset of $6.5 million, a trade name intangible asset of $0.4 million and goodwill of $6.0 million. See Note 7.
