The_Standardx Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The acquisition includes management and hotel services agreements for operating hotels and the Bahia Principe trade name. In addition, the acquisition contemplates the future management of undeveloped Bahia Principe Hotels & Resortsbranded properties. For the period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2024, total revenues and net income attributable to Bahia Principe were insignificant.
- (2) The goodwill is attributable to the growth opportunities we expect to realize by expanding our all-inclusive resort offerings and destination management services as well as synergies we expect to realize in the future through our management of and licensing of the Bahia Principe brand to the Unlimited Vacation Club business. Goodwill is not tax deductible. At December 31, 2024, we have not completed the assignment of goodwill to reporting units due to the close proximity of the closing date and our year end (see Note 9).
We may pay additional variable contingent consideration through 2034 primarily related to the achievement of certain milestones for the development of additional hotels to be managed by the joint venture. The contingent consideration is payable at each hotel opening and is based on a multiple of stabilized base and incentive management fee revenues, and therefore, we are unable to reasonably estimate our maximum potential future consideration.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to The Standardx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the acquisition of Bahia Principe is expected to influence the company's future net income. For the period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2024, the total revenues and net income attributable to Bahia Principe were insignificant. This suggests that the immediate impact on The Standardx's net income was minimal during that initial period.
The Standardx anticipates growth opportunities through expanding all-inclusive resort offerings and destination management services, as well as synergies from managing and licensing the Bahia Principe brand to the Unlimited Vacation Club business. This indicates that The Standardx expects the acquisition to contribute positively to future financial performance, although the exact quantification of this impact is not provided in this document.
The FDD mentions that The Standardx has not yet completed the assignment of goodwill attributed to the Bahia Principe Transaction to reporting units as of December 31, 2024. This ongoing process suggests that the full financial implications of the acquisition are still being assessed and integrated into The Standardx's financial reporting structure. The contingent consideration is payable at each hotel opening and is based on a multiple of stabilized base and incentive management fee revenues, and therefore, The Standardx is unable to reasonably estimate their maximum potential future consideration.
