Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Acquisition of OpenEye Scientific Software, Inc.

On August 31, 2022, Cadence acquired all of the outstanding equity of OpenEye, a leading provider of computational molecular modeling and simulation software used by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for drug discovery. The addition of OpenEye’s technologies and experienced team with its deep scientific expertise is expected to accelerate Cadence’s Intelligent System Design™ strategy and broadens Cadence’s System Design and Analysis technology portfolio. The acquisition expands Cadence’s total addressable market, bringing Cadence’s computational software expertise to apply proven algorithmic, simulation and solver advances to life sciences. The aggregate cash consideration for Cadence’s acquisition of OpenEye, net of cash acquired of $13.2 million, was $461.1 million. Subject to service and other conditions, Cadence expects to recognize expense for consideration paid to certain former OpenEye shareholders, now employed by Cadence, through the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

The total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values on the acquisition date as follows:


	Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Current assets	$	24,890
Goodwill	368,148
Acquired intangibles	117,400
Other long-term assets	6,542
Total assets acquired	516,980
Current liabilities	15,489
Long-term liabilities	27,225
Total liabilities assumed	42,714
Total purchase consideration	$	474,266

The allocation of purchase consideration to certain assets and liabilities has not been finalized. Cadence will continue to evaluate certain estimates and assumptions, primarily related to taxes and assumed liabilities, during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The recorded goodwill is attributed to intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, including the acquired assembled workforce, and will not be deductible for tax purposes.
