Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
Acquisitions Acquisitions
On April 21, 2021, (“Closing Date”), the Company acquired NIC as contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 9, 2021, (the “Merger Agreement”). As result of the merger, NIC became a direct subsidiary of the Company and NIC’s subsidiaries became indirect subsidiaries of the Company. NIC is a leading digital government solutions and payment company that serves federal, state and local government agencies. The total purchase price, net of cash acquired of $331.8 million, was approximately $2.0 billion consisting of cash paid of $2.3 billion and $1.9 million of purchase consideration related to the conversion of unvested restricted stock awards.
We have performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of NIC’s assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of the acquisition date:
(In thousands)
Cash$331,783 
Accounts receivable149,632 
Other current assets12,988 
Other noncurrent assets20,974 
Identifiable intangible assets754,000 
Goodwill1,464,084 
Accounts payable(150,099)
Accrued expenses(63,809)
Other noncurrent liabilities(11,493)
Deferred revenue(1,522)
Deferred tax liabilities, net(186,046)
Total consideration$2,320,492 
In connection with this transaction, we acquired total tangible assets of $515.4 million and assumed liabilities of approximately $226.9 million. We recorded goodwill of approximately $1.5 billion, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, and other identifiable intangible assets of approximately $754.0 million. The $754.0 million of intangible assets are attributable to customer relationships, acquired software, trade name and will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 17 years. We recorded net deferred tax liabilities of $186.0 million related to estimated fair value allocations.
NIC delivers user-friendly digital services that make it easier and more efficient for citizens and businesses to interact with government - providing valuable conveniences like applying for unemployment insurance, submitting business filings, renewing licenses, accessing information and making secure payments without visiting a government office. In addition, NIC has extensive expertise and scale in the government payments arena which will accelerate the Company’s strategic payments initiatives. Therefore, the goodwill of approximately $1.5 billion arising from this acquisition is primarily attributed to our ability to generate increased revenues, earnings and cash flow by expanding our addressable market and client base.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results information has been prepared as if the acquisition of NIC had occurred on January 1, 2020, after giving effect to certain adjustments, including amortization of intangibles, interest, transaction costs and tax effects.

The pro forma information above does not include acquisitions that are not considered material to our results of operations. The pro forma information does not purport to represent what our results of operations actually would have been had such transaction occurred on the date specified or to project our results of operations for any future period.
On March 31, 2021, we acquired all the equity interest of Glass Arc, Inc. (dba ReadySub). ReadySub is a cloud-based platform that assists school districts with absence tracking, filling substitute teacher assignments, and automating essential payroll processes. The total purchase price of approximately $6.2 million, net of cash acquired, was paid in cash.
On March 31, 2021, we acquired substantially all assets of DataSpec, Inc. (“DataSpec”), a provider of a SaaS solution that allows for secure electronic claims submission to the federal Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and reporting capabilities, in addition to scheduling, calendaring, and payments. The total purchase price of approximately $5.8 million was paid in cash.
The operating results of DataSpec and ReadySub are included with the operating results of the Enterprise Software segment since their date of acquisition. The impact of the DataSpec and ReadySub acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, on our operating results, assets and liabilities is not material. The operating results of NIC are disclosed separately as a reportable segment. Revenues from NIC included in Tyler's results of operations totaled approximately $99.1 million and the net income loss was approximately $9.7 million from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2021. In 2021, we incurred fees of approximately $18.3 million for financial advisory, legal, accounting, due diligence, valuation and other various services necessary to complete these acquisitions. The Company also incurred $1.6 million of expense related to a separation agreement with NIC's former Chief Executive Officer. These costs were expensed in 2021 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
As of June 30, 2021, the purchase price allocations for DataSpec, ReadySub and NIC are not yet complete; therefore, the preliminary valuation estimates of fair value assumed at the acquisition date for intangible assets, receivables and deferred revenue and related deferred taxes are subject to change as valuations are finalized. Our balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, reflects the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair value at the date of each acquisition. The fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired are based on valuations using Level III, unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
