The business combinations described below are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting whereby assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at fair value or other values set forth in U.S. GAAP on the date of the transaction. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded to goodwill. Goodwill typically results through expected synergies from combining operations of an acquiree and an acquirer, anticipated new customer acquisition and products, as well as from intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition.

In February 2022, the Company acquired 100% of kompany, a Vienna, Austria-based platform for business verification and Know Your Customer (KYC) technology solutions. The acquisition complements Moody’s technology, data, and analytical capabilities, and enhances its customer solutions for KYC, anti-money laundering, compliance, and counterparty risk. The purchase price was not material and the near term impact to the Company's financial statements is not expected to be material.

On September 15, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of RMS, a global provider of climate and natural disaster risk modeling and analytics. The cash payment was funded with new debt financing and a combination of U.S. and offshore cash on hand. The acquisition will expand Moody’s insurance data and analytics business and accelerate the development of the Company’s global integrated risk capabilities to address the next generation of risk assessment.

The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of assets and liabilities of the RMS business. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed and fully reviewed all information necessary to finalize the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, including deferred revenue. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation. The final allocation may include changes in allocations to acquired intangible assets (including estimated useful lives of these assets) as well as goodwill and other changes to assets and liabilities including reserves for UTPs and deferred tax liabilities.

The goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition includes, among other things, the value of combining the complementary product portfolios of Moody's and RMS, which is expected to extend the Company's reach into new market segments. The goodwill also includes the combined company's ability to accelerate technology innovations into new product adjacencies (leveraging RMS's team of data scientists, modelers and software engineers) as well as combining RMS's products with Moody’s core data and analytics offerings to provide holistic integrated risk solutions.

Goodwill, of which $1,286 million and $90 million has been assigned to the MA and MIS segments, respectively, is not deductible for tax purposes. The amount of goodwill allocated to the MIS segment relates to the integration of certain of RMS's models/processes into the Company's ESG solutions offerings.

Other assets in the table above includes an indemnification asset of $95 million related to uncertain tax positions assumed in the transaction, for which the Company expects to be indemnified by the sellers in the event of an unfavorable outcome.

Transaction costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2021 directly related to the RMS acquisition were $22 million and were recorded in SG&A expenses in the statement of operations.

Supplemental information on an unaudited pro forma basis is presented below for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as if the acquisition of RMS occurred on January 1, 2020. The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is based on certain estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes to be reasonable but not necessarily indicative of future results of operations or the results that would have been reported if the acquisition had been completed at January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma information includes amortization of acquired intangible assets, based on the preliminary purchase price allocation and an estimate of useful lives reflected above, and incremental financing costs resulting from the acquisition, net of

The unaudited pro forma results do not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of the planned integration of RMS. Accordingly, the pro forma results above are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been reported if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated, nor are the pro forma results indicative of results which may occur in the future. The RMS results included in the above have been converted to U.S. GAAP from IFRS as issued by the IASB and have been translated to USD at rates in effect for the periods presented.

The goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition includes, among other things, the value of combining the complementary risk assessment products of the Company and Cortera, which is expected to extend the Company’s reach to new and evolving market segments as well as cost savings synergies, expected new customer acquisitions and products.

The Company has not presented pro forma combined results for the Cortera acquisition because the impact on previously reported statements of operations would not have been material. Additionally, the near term impact to the Company’s operations and cash flows is not material.
