Acquisition Acquisition
On October 4, 2023, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, e.l.f. Cosmetics, Inc., completed its acquisition of Naturium LLC (“Naturium”) (including the indirect acquisition of equity interests in Naturium through the purchase of TCB-N Prelude Blocker Corp., a holding company) (the “Acquisition”), which furthered the Company’s mission to make the best of beauty accessible to every eye, lip, face and skin concern. Naturium is a skin care company that provides clinically effective products at an affordable price. The Company directly and indirectly acquired all rights, title and interest in and to the outstanding equity securities of Naturium for a purchase price of $333.0 million in a combination of cash and Company stock.
The following table summarizes the fair market value of the consideration transferred and how the Company calculates the goodwill resulting from the acquisition (in thousands):

(1) The fair market value of the $57.8 million common stock issued (equivalent to 577,659 shares of common stock) was determined on the basis of the opening market price of the Company’s stock of $100.01 per share on the acquisition date.
(2) In connection with the Acquisition, the Company paid Naturium’s acquisition-related expenses of $10.5 million recognized as an assumed liability at the acquisition date.
The Company incurred and expensed acquisition transaction costs of zero and $2.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and $0.4 million and $2.4 million during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, which are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method and, accordingly, the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values on the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation, deferred tax calculations and residual goodwill were
finalized during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Naturium’s results of operations have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
The following table presents the purchase price allocation recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet on the acquisition date and upon finalization during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The adjustment reflects finalization of purchase accounting for facts and circumstances that existed upon the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):

(1) The goodwill represents the excess value over both tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill recognized in this transaction is primarily attributable to the Company’s expectation that Naturium can continue to expand distribution and deliver new skin care products. A substantial amount of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
