Acquisitions Completed in Fiscal Year 2017

Acquisition of Pacific Bio-Material Management, Inc. and Novare, LLC

On July 5, 2017, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Pacific Bio-Material Management, Inc. (“PBMMI”) and Novare, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PBMMI (collectively, the “sellers”), pursuant to which the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the sellers’ business related to providing storage, transportation, management, and cold chain logistics of biological materials. The acquisition is expected to expand the Company’s existing capabilities with respect to sample management and integrated cold chain storage and transportation solutions within the Brooks Life Science Systems segment. The Company paid to the sellers cash consideration of $34.3 million, net of cash acquired, which is subject to working capital adjustments. Such consideration included a debt repayment of $0.6 million which was assumed by the Company on behalf of the sellers and paid on the acquisition date.

The Company used a market participant approach to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the PBMMI acquisition. The purchase price allocation is based on a preliminary valuation and subject to further adjustments within the measurement period as additional information becomes available related to the fair value of such assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets acquired and residual goodwill were preliminary as of September 30, 2017. The Company will refine such fair value estimates as new information becomes available during the measurement period. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocation will be made as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Fair values of intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationship intangible assets of $8.5 million and trademarks of $0.1 million. The Company used the income approach in accordance with the excess-earnings method to estimate the fair value of customer relationship intangible assets which is equal to the present value of the after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset only. The intangible assets acquired are amortized over the total weighted average period of 11.0 years using methods that approximate the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized.

At the closing of the acquisition of PBMMI, a cash payment of $3.3 million was placed into escrow which was ascribed to the purchase price. The escrow balance of $3.3 million included $2.9 million related to satisfaction of the sellers' indemnification obligations with respect to their representations and warranties and other indemnities, as well as $0.4 million payable to the former owner of Novare as a compensation for a sale of his ownership interest. This escrow arrangement is administered by the Company on behalf of the sellers. The escrow balances were $2.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2017.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and has been assigned to the Brooks Life Science Systems segment. Goodwill is primarily the result of expected synergies from combining the operations of PBMMI with the Company’s operations and is deductible for tax purposes.

The operating results of PBMMI have been reflected in the results of operations for the Brooks Life Science Systems segment from the date of the acquisition, which included approximately three months of activity during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017. During fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, revenue and net income from PBMMI recognized in the Company’s results of operations were $3.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. During fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the net income included amortization expense $0.3 million related to acquired intangible assets.

During fiscal year 2017, the Company incurred $0.3 million in non-recurring transaction costs with respect to the PBMMI acquisition which were recorded in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company did not present a pro forma information summary for its consolidated results of operations for fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 as if the acquisition of PBMMI occurred on October 1, 2015 because such results were immaterial.

Acquisition of Cool Lab, LLC

On November 28, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of Cool Lab, LLC ("Cool Lab") from BioCision, LLC ("BioCision"). The Company held a 20% equity ownership interest in BioCision prior to the acquisition. Cool Lab was established as a subsidiary of BioCision on November 28, 2016 upon the transfer of certain assets related to cell cryopreservation solutions with net carrying values of $0.9 million. Cool Lab provides a range of patented and/or patent-pending offerings for sample cooling and freezing, controlled rate freezing, portable cryogenic transport and archival storage solutions for customers with temperature-sensitive workflow process. Cool Lab’s offerings assist in managing the temperature stability of therapeutics, biological samples, and related biomaterials in ultra-cold and cryogenic environments. The acquisition of Cool Lab is expected to allow the Company to extend its comprehensive sample management solutions across the cold chain of custody, which is consistent with the other offerings it brings to its life sciences customers. Please refer to Note 7, "Equity Method and Other Investments" for further information on the equity interest in BioCision held by the Company immediately before the acquisition date.

The aggregate purchase price of $15.2 million consisted of a cash payment of $4.8 million, a liability to the seller of $0.1 million and the settlement of certain preexisting relationships with Cool Lab and BioCision, disclosed as non-cash consideration of $10.3 million, which has been measured at fair value on the acquisition date.

The non-cash consideration of $10.3 million consisted of financial instruments of BioCision held by the Company prior to the acquisition of Cool Lab that were subsequently measured at fair value on the acquisition date and delineated as non-cash consideration paid for Cool Lab. Such non-cash consideration was comprised of: (i) the redeemable fair value of the Company’s existing 20% equity ownership interest in BioCision of $3.1 million, (ii) convertible debt securities of BioCision and warrants of $5.6 million to purchase BioCision’s preferred units, and (iii) term notes of BioCision of $1.6 million including accrued interest. Such pre-acquisition financial instruments had an aggregate carrying value of $8.6 million and were measured at an aggregated fair value of $10.3 million on the acquisition date. As a result of such measurement, the Company recognized a net gain of $1.6 million during fiscal year 2017. Please refer to Note 7, "Equity Method Investments" and Note 19, "Fair Value Measurements" for further information on the financial instruments included in the non-cash consideration and the valuation techniques and inputs used in fair value measurements.

The Company used a market participant approach to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Cool Lab acquisition. The purchase price allocation is based on a preliminary valuation and subject to further adjustments within the measurement period as additional information becomes available related to the fair value of such assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values of intangible assets acquired and residual goodwill were preliminary as of September 30, 2017. The Company will refine such fair value estimates as new information becomes available during the measurement period. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocation will be made as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Fair values of intangible assets acquired consisted of: (i) a customer relationship intangible asset of $3.6 million attributable to a certain customer, (ii) completed technology of $1.2 million and (iii) other customer relationship intangible assets of $1.3 million. The Company used the income approach in accordance with the excess-earnings method to estimate the fair value of customer relationship intangible assets. The Company used the income approach in accordance with the relief-from-royalty method to estimate the fair value of the completed technology which is equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning that intangible asset. The weighted average amortization periods for intangible assets acquired are 3 years for the customer relationship intangible asset attributable to a certain customer, 8 years for completed technology and 10 years for other customer relationship intangible assets. The intangible assets acquired are amortized over the total weighted average period of 5.4 years using methods that approximate the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized, including percentage of revenue expected to be generated from sales to a certain customer over the contract term.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and has been assigned to the Brooks Life Science Systems segment. Goodwill is primarily the result of expected synergies from combining the operations of Cool Lab with the Company’s operations and is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company recorded a liability of $0.7 million in the purchase price allocation that represented a pre-acquisition contingency incurred on the acquisition date. The obligation is related to a rebate that is due to a particular customer if the annual product sales volume metrics exceed threshold amounts under the provisions of the contract with this customer assumed by the Company. Fair value of such liability was determined based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The carrying amount of the liability was $0.7 million at September 30, 2017. Additionally, the Company recognized a customer relationship intangible asset of $3.6 million related to this arrangement, as discussed above.

The operating results of Cool Lab have been reflected in the results of operations for the Brooks Life Science Systems segment from the date of the acquisition, which included approximately one month of activity during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. During fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, revenue and net loss from Cool Lab recognized in the Company’s results of operations were $3.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. During fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the net loss included charges of $0.4 million related to the step-up in value of the acquired inventories and amortization expense $1.2 million related to acquired intangible assets.

During fiscal year 2017, the Company incurred $0.4 million in non-recurring transaction costs with respect to the Cool Lab acquisition which were recorded in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company did not present a pro forma information summary for its consolidated results of operations for fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 as if the acquisition of Cool Lab occurred on October 1, 2015 because such results were immaterial.

Other

On August 22, 2017, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of RURO, Inc., (the “seller”), a U.S.-based provider of sample management software solutions across multiple end markets, including academic research, government, pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare. The acquired FreezerPro® web-based software platform together with an exclusive license to sell and distribute RURO’s BioBankPro® software will allow the Company to complement its existing informatics offerings within the Brooks Life Science Systems segment and extend its informatics solutions to address laboratories, biobanks or enterprises that manage biological samples.

The aggregate purchase price of $5.5 million consisted of a cash payment of $5.2 million and a liability to the seller of $0.4 million. The Company allocated the purchase price of $5.5 million to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisition at their fair values as of the acquisition date, of which $0.1 million was ascribed to accounts receivable, $4.0 million to intangible assets, $1.6 million to goodwill assigned to the Brooks Life Science Systems segment and $0.2 million to deferred revenue. Fair values of intangible assets acquired of $4.0 million consisted of customer relationship intangible assets of $3.1 million and completed technology of $0.9 million. The purchase price allocation is based on a preliminary valuation and subject to further adjustments within the measurement period as additional information becomes available related to the fair value of such assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company will refine such fair value estimates as new information becomes available during the measurement period. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocation will be made as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

At the closing of the acquisition, a cash payment of $0.5 million was placed into escrow which was ascribed to the purchase price. The escrow was related to satisfaction of the sellers' indemnification obligations with respect to their representations and warranties and other indemnities.

The operating results of the acquisition have been reflected in the results of operations for the Brooks Life Science Systems segment from the date of the acquisition, which included approximately one month of activity during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company did not present a pro forma information summary for its consolidated results of operations for fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 as if the acquisition occurred on October 1, 2015, as well as revenue or the results of operations related to the acquisition for fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 from the date of acquisition since such results are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial results during the period then ended.

Acquisitions Completed in Fiscal Year 2016

Acquisition of BioStorage Technologies, Inc.

On November 30, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of BioStorage Technologies, Inc., or BioStorage, an Indiana-based global provider of comprehensive sample management and integrated cold chain solutions for the biosciences industry. These solutions include collection, transportation, processing, storage, protection, retrieval and disposal of biological samples. These solutions combined with the Company’s existing offerings, particularly automation for sample storage and formatting, provide customers with fully integrated sample management cold chain solutions which will help them increase productivity, efficiencies and speed to market. This acquisition will allow the Company to access a broader customer base that is storing samples at ultra cold temperatures and simultaneously provide opportunities for BioStorage to use the Company’s capabilities to expand into new markets.

The Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of BioStorage. A cash payment of $130.7 million, net of the seller’s cash of $2.8 million, resulted in a net cash outflow of $128.0 million, including $125.2 million ascribed to the purchase price and $2.5 million for retention arrangements with certain employees based on the completion of a service retention period. The cash payment included a debt repayment of $3.2 million and transaction costs of $2.9 million paid by the Company on behalf of BioStorage.

On September 9, 2016, the Company reached a settlement with the sellers of BioStorage’s stock related to certain working capital adjustments. On September 13, 2016, the Company received $0.2 million of proceeds from the sellers as a result of such settlement, which was recorded as a decrease of $0.2 million in the purchase price and goodwill.

At the closing of the acquisition of BioStorage, a cash payment of $5.4 million was placed into escrow which consisted of $2.9 million ascribed to the purchase price and $2.5 million related to retention arrangements with certain employees. The escrow balance was reduced by its full amount subsequent to the acquisition date, and there was no escrow balance outstanding as of September 30, 2017.

The fair value of customer relationship intangible assets of $36.6 million was estimated based on the income approach in accordance with the excess-earnings method. The weighted average amortization period for the customer relationships intangible assets acquired in the BioStorage acquisition is 11.0 years. The fair value of the trademark intangible assets acquired of $4.9 million was estimated based on the income approach in accordance with the relief-from-royalty method. The weighted average amortization period for the trademark intangible assets acquired in the BioStorage acquisition is 8.0 years. The intangible assets acquired are amortized over the total weighted average period of 10.6 years using an accelerated depreciation method which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized. Fair values of intangible assets and their estimated useful lives are determined based on estimates of future expected after-tax cash flows and royalty savings, customer attrition rates, discount rates, as well as assumptions about the period of time over which the Company will be deriving economic benefits from the acquired intangible assets.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and has been assigned to the Company’s Brooks Life Science Systems segment. Goodwill is primarily the result of expected synergies from combining the operations of BioStorage with the Company’s operations and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The operating results of BioStorage have been reflected in the results of operations for the Brooks Life Science Systems segment from the date of the acquisition, which included one month of activity during the first quarter of fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. During fiscal year 2017, revenue and net income from BioStorage recognized in the Company’s results of operations were $62.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively. During fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, revenue and net income from BioStorage recognized in the Company’s results of operations were $44.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively. During fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the net income included amortization expense of $4.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, related to acquired intangible assets.

During fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred $0.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in non-recurring transaction costs with respect to the BioStorage acquisition which were recorded in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The retention payment of $2.5 million was recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets at the acquisition date and is recognized as a compensation expense over the service period or upon a triggering event in the underlying change in control agreements. During fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $2.4 million of the compensation-related expense with respect to this arrangement. The retention payment balance was $0.1 million at September 30, 2016. There was no balance related to the retention payment as of September 30, 2017.

Fair value of the contingent consideration of $0.8 million was determined based on a probability-weighted average discounted cash flow model and recorded in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company remeasured the fair value of the contingent consideration at each reporting date and recognized a corresponding gain of $0.3 million on the fair value remeasurement during fiscal year 2016. Fair value of the contingent consideration was $0.5 million at September 30, 2016. During the first quarter of fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Company settled the liability and remitted a cash payment of $0.5 million to the sellers.  Please refer to Note 19, “Fair Value Measurements” for further information on the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration.

At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had approximately $0.7 million in escrow related to potential working capital adjustments and the sellers’ satisfaction of general representations and warranties. At the closing of the acquisition of Contact, the escrow balance was $1.5 million which was reduced by approximately $0.8 million during fiscal year 2016 as a result of a payment made to the sellers upon termination of a certain third-party arrangement.

Fair value of the completed technology intangible assets was estimated based on the income approach in accordance with the excess-earnings method. The weighted average amortization period for the completed technology intangible assets acquired in the Contact acquisition is 5.0 years. The intangible assets acquired are amortized using an accelerated depreciation method which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and has been assigned to the Company’s Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group segment.

The purchase price was allocated based on the fair value of the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date from a market participant’s perspective.

On January 23, 2015, the Company reached a settlement with respect to certain working capital adjustments with the sellers of FluidX stock. On February 3, 2015, the Company made a payment to the sellers as a result of this settlement, which increased the purchase price by $0.1 million. Prior to September 30, 2016, the Company had $1.5 million in a general escrow account held by the unrelated third party. The balance was remitted to the sellers and fully released during fiscal year 2016. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation for FluidX acquisition within the measurement period. Adjustments to the initial purchase price allocation recorded during the measurement period were not material to the Company’s financial position.

Fair values of the trademarks and the completed technology acquired were estimated based on the income approach in accordance with the relief-from-royalty method. Fair value of customer relationships acquired was estimated based on the income approach in accordance with the excess-earnings method. The weighted average amortization periods for intangible assets acquired in the FluidX acquisition are 5.0 years for each of completed technology, trademarks, and customer relationships. The intangible assets acquired are amortized using an accelerated amortization method which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and has been assigned to the Company’s Brooks Life Science Systems segment. Goodwill is primarily the result of expected synergies from combining the operations of FluidX with the Company and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The operating results of FluidX have been included in the results of operations for the Brooks Life Science Systems segment from the date of the acquisition. During fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, revenue and net loss attributable to FluidX were $17.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. During fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, revenue and net loss attributable to FluidX were $15.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively. During fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, revenue and net loss attributable to FluidX were $15.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The Company incurred charges of $1.0 million related to the step-up in value of the acquired inventories during fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, as well as amortization expense of $1.1 million, $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to the acquired intangible assets which was included in the net loss during fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and 2015.

During fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred $0.5 million in non-recurring transaction costs with respect to the FluidX acquisition which were recorded in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company did not present a pro forma information summary for its consolidated results of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 as if the acquisition of FluidX occurred on October 1, 2013 because such results were insignificant.
