(8) Business Combinations

 

The Company accounted for the following acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under ASC 805, Business Combinations, which required that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of the assets and liabilities was recorded as goodwill. This goodwill includes the know-how of the assembled workforce, the ability of the workforce to further improve technology and product offerings, customer relationships and the expected cash flows resulting from these efforts. Goodwill may also include expected synergies resulting from the complementary strategic fit these businesses bring to existing operations.

Fair value estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives and the expected future cash flows and related discount rates, can materially impact the Company’s results of operations. Significant inputs used for the model included the amount of cash flows, the expected period of the cash flows and the discount rates. Significant estimation was required by management in determining the fair value of the customer relationship intangible assets, deferred revenue and contingent consideration liabilities. The significant estimation is primarily due to the judgmental nature of the inputs to the valuation models used to measure the fair value of these intangible assets, deferred revenue and contingent consideration liabilities, as well as the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the underlying significant assumptions. The Company used the income approach to measure the fair value of these intangible assets, a discounted cash flow approach for deferred revenue and a Monte Carlo simulation model to measure the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the intangible assets, deferred revenue and contingent consideration liabilities included forecasted revenues from existing customers, existing customer attrition rates, estimated costs required to fulfill the deferred revenue obligation and forecasted revenues for the contingent consideration earnout period. When estimating the significant assumptions to be used in the valuation the Company includes a consideration of current industry information, market and economic trends, historical results of the acquired business, nature of the performance obligations associated with the deferred revenue and other relevant factors. These significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. The valuation of the contingent consideration was derived using estimates of the probability of achievement within specified time periods based on projections of future revenue metrics per the terms of the applicable agreements. These include estimates of the Company’s assessment of the probability of meeting such results, with the probability-weighted earn-out using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model then discounted to estimate fair value. Fair value is estimated using the probability

weighted cash flow estimate closer to the measurement date. The various operating performance measures included in these contingent consideration agreements primarily relate to product revenue.   

The business acquisitions discussed below are included in the Company’s results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition.

2021 Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company acquired Red Sky Technologies Inc., xMatters Holdings, Inc. and The Anvil Group (International) Limited, Anvil Worldwide Limited and The Anvil Group Limited. These acquisitions were not material and neither the investment in the assets nor the results of operations of these acquisitions were significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, and thus pro forma information is not required to be presented.

Red Sky Technologies Inc.

On January 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Red Sky Technologies Inc. pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of RedSky for a base consideration of $55.4 million, net of cash acquired. The Company paid $32.4 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and issued 162,820 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock at closing. On the date of this acquisition, the average price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market was $141.46 per share. In addition to the base purchase price, there was also a potential contingent payment of up to $30 million that was eligible to be earned by the sellers based on certain revenue targets through the contractual measurement period. At the date of the acquisition, the Company preliminarily assessed the probability of RedSky meeting the revenue metrics through the contractual measurement period and recorded a $9.1 million initial fair value of contingent consideration as part of the purchase price allocation. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a decrease in the fair value of RedSky’s contingent consideration obligation in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations in the amount of $8.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid $0.4 million in cash and issued 4,058 shares of the Company’s common stock to settle RedSky’s contingent consideration liability. The Company acquired RedSky for its E911 incident response solutions platform to enhance the Company’s CEM suite of solutions as well as market penetration and customer reach.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, which were recorded as of the acquisition date, as well as the aggregate consideration for the acquisition of RedSky made by the Company (in thousands):

The weighted average useful life of all identified acquired intangible assets is 7.73 years. The average useful lives for acquired technologies, customer relationships and trade names are 3.0 years, 9.0 years and 4.0 years, respectively. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method. The straight-line method of amortization represents the Company’s best estimate of the period of expected cash flows of the identifiable intangible assets.

The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to the anticipated synergies from the acquisition and expanded market opportunities with respect to the integration of RedSky’s products with the Company's other solutions. The Company believes that the factors listed above in relation to the purchase of RedSky support the amount of goodwill recorded as a result of the purchase price paid for the acquisition, in relation to other acquired tangible and intangible assets. The resulting goodwill from the RedSky acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred transaction costs of less than $0.1 million in connection with the RedSky acquisition, which were expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses.

xMatters Holdings, Inc.

On April 6, 2021, the Company and xMatters Holdings, Inc. (“xMatters”) signed a definitive agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of xMatters. This acquisition closed on May 7, 2021. The Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of xMatters for a base consideration of $242.6 million. The Company paid $178.1 million in cash and issued 555,332 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock at closing. On the date of this acquisition, the average price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market was $116.12 per share. The Company acquired xMatters for its service reliability platforms to enhance the Company’s CEM suite of solutions as well as market penetration and customer reach.

As the Company finalizes its estimation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period (a period not to exceed 12 months). The initial accounting is incomplete as of December 31, 2021 for the acquired assets and liabilities as the Company is currently in the process of completing the assessment of the tax attributes of the business combination. The finalization of the acquisition accounting valuation assessment may result in a change in the valuation of the deferred tax assets and liabilities which could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

The weighted average useful life of all identified acquired intangible assets is 8.13 years. The average useful lives for acquired technologies, customer relationships and trade names are 3.0 years, 9.0 years and 5.0 years, respectively. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method. The straight-line method of amortization represents the Company’s best estimate of the period of expected cash flows of the identifiable intangible assets.

The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to the anticipated synergies from the acquisition and expanded market opportunities with respect to the integration of xMatters’ products with the Company's other solutions. The Company believes that the factors listed above in relation to the purchase of xMatters support the amount of goodwill recorded as a result of the purchase price paid for the acquisition, in relation to other acquired tangible and intangible assets. The resulting goodwill from the xMatters acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred transaction costs of $1.5 million in connection with the xMatters acquisition, of which $0.7 million was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2021 and included in general and administrative expenses.

The Anvil Group (International) Limited, Anvil Worldwide Limited and The Anvil Group Limited

On November 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with the shareholders of The Anvil Group (International) Limited, Anvil Worldwide Limited and The Anvil Group Limited (collectively, “Anvil”) pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Anvil for a base consideration of $161.4 million. See Note 6 for a discussion of the Consideration Loan Notes and Flip-Up Agreement. The Company paid $70.2 million in cash at closing, acquired net purchase liabilities of $1.6 million and issued $89.7 million Consideration Loan Notes. On November 10, 2021, the Company issued 574,639 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock to settle consideration loan notes issued on the acquisition date. In addition to the base purchase price, there is also a potential contingent payment of up to $0.8 million that may be paid to the sellers on or before June 30, 2023. At the date of the acquisition, the Company preliminarily assessed the probability of the contingent consideration payment and recorded a $0.1 million preliminary fair value as part of the purchase price allocation. The Company acquired Anvil for its travel risk management, operational resiliency and occupational health solutions platforms to enhance the Company’s CEM suite of solutions as well as market penetration and customer reach.

As the Company finalizes its estimation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period (a period not to exceed 12 months). The initial accounting is incomplete as of December 31, 2021 for the acquired assets and liabilities as the Company is currently in the process of completing the assessment of valuation inputs and assumptions as well as completing the assessment of the tax attributes of the business combination. The finalization of the acquisition accounting valuation assessment may result in a change in the valuation of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, deferred revenue and intangible assets, along with the opening working capital accounts, which could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

The weighted average useful life of all identified acquired intangible assets is 8.01 years. The average useful lives for acquired technologies, customer relationships and trade names are 4.0 years, 9.0 years and 5.0 years, respectively. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method. The straight-line method of amortization represents the Company’s best estimate of the period of expected cash flows of the identifiable intangible assets.

The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to the anticipated synergies from the acquisition and expanded market opportunities with respect to the integration of Anvil’s products with the Company's other solutions. The acquisition of Anvil will bring in house the expertise and experience to manage medical and travel-related situations for the Company’s travel risk management offerings to new and existing customers. The Company believes that the factors listed above in relation to the purchase of Anvil support the amount of goodwill recorded as a result of the purchase price paid for the acquisition, in relation to other acquired tangible and intangible assets. The resulting goodwill from the Anvil acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred transaction costs of $1.4 million in connection with the Anvil acquisition, of which $1.0 million was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2021 and included in general and administrative expenses.

2020 Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired Connexient, Inc., CNL Software Limited, One2Many Group B.V., Techwan SA and SnapComms Limited. These acquisitions were not material individually or on a consolidated basis. Additionally, neither the investment in the assets nor the results of operations of these acquisitions were significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, and thus pro forma information is not required to be presented.

Connexient, Inc.

On February 7, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Connexient, Inc. (“Connexient”) pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Connexient for a base consideration of $20.2 million. The Company paid $11.5 million in cash at closing and paid the remaining purchase price with 96,611 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock. On the date of this acquisition, the average price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market was $93.32 per share. In addition to the base purchase price, there was also a potential contingent payment of up to $6.0 million that was eligible to be earned by the sellers based on fiscal year 2020 revenue metrics. As of the date of the acquisition, the fair value of the contingent consideration was zero as a result of the Company’s initial assessment of the probability of Connexient meeting the revenue metrics. At December 31, 2020, it was determined that Connexient would not meet the fiscal year 2020 revenue metric threshold. The Company acquired Connexient for its strategic technology assets to enhance the Company’s CEM suite of solutions to broaden support for Internet of Things (“IoT”) applications as well as market penetration and customer reach.

The weighted average useful life of all identified acquired intangible assets is 7.47 years. The average useful lives for acquired technologies, customer relationships and trade names are 3.0 years, 9.0 years and 3.0 years, respectively. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method. The straight-line method of amortization represents the Company’s best estimate of the period of expected cash flows of the identifiable intangible assets.

The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to the anticipated synergies from the acquisition and expanded market opportunities with respect to the integration of Techwan’s products with the Company's other solutions. The Company believes that the factors listed above in relation to the purchase of Techwan support the amount of goodwill recorded as a result of the purchase price paid for the acquisition, in relation to other acquired tangible and intangible assets. The resulting goodwill from the Techwan acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred transaction costs of $0.2 million in connection with the Techwan acquisition, which were expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses.

SnapComms Limited

On August 4, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with SnapComms Limited pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of SnapComms for a base consideration of $34.4 million. The Company paid $13.6 million in cash and issued 121,858 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock at closing. On the date of this acquisition, the average price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market was $145.13 per share. In August 2021, the Company paid deferred consideration of approximately New Zealand $2.5 million in cash and issued 12,390 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition to the base purchase price, there was also a potential contingent payment of up to approximately $5.0 million that was eligible to be earned by the sellers based on revenue metrics during the period of April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. At the date of the acquisition, the Company preliminarily assessed the probability of SnapComms meeting the revenue metrics during the period of April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 and recorded a $2.0 million initial fair value of contingent consideration as part of the purchase price allocation. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized an increase in the fair value of SnapComms’ contingent consideration obligation in the amount of $0.7 million and a decrease in the fair value of SnapComms’ contingent consideration obligation in the amount of $2.0 million, respectively, recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 6,188 shares of the Company’s common stock to settle SnapComms’ contingent consideration liability. The Company acquired SnapComms for its internal communications software to enhance the Company’s CEM suite of solutions as well as market penetration and customer reach.
