Business Combinations Business Combinations
The consolidated financial statements include the operating results of each acquisition from the date of acquisition noted below. Pro forma results of operations and the revenue and net income subsequent to the acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions were not material to our financial results.
Fusus
On January 31, 2024, we acquired the remaining 79.7% interest in Fusus, a global leader in real-time crime center technology, for incremental consideration transferred of approximately $241.3 million (the “Fusus step acquisition”). Our existing 20.3% interest had a fair value at the acquisition date of $63.3 million, which resulted in a non-taxable gain of $42.3 million recorded in other income (loss), net in our consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the previously held investment was remeasured using Level 3 valuation techniques, which include inputs to the valuation methodology that are considered unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The acquisition expands our ability to aggregate live video, data and sensor feeds, which enhances situational awareness and investigative capabilities for our customers in public safety, education and enterprise. Total acquisition-
related transaction and integration costs for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $4.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively. These transaction costs were expensed as incurred in SG&A in our consolidated statements of operations.

The purchase price allocation was subject to revision during the measurement period through the fourth quarter of 2024. Based on the final purchase price allocation, we recorded $249.9 million of goodwill, $72.9 million of identifiable intangible assets, and other net liabilities assumed of $7.8 million, excluding deferred taxes. We also recorded a net deferred tax liability of $10.4 million.

The identifiable intangible assets included $56.6 million of developed technology, $14.4 million of customer relationships, and $1.9 million of trademarks. With the assistance of third-party valuation experts, we calculated the fair values of the intangible assets using the multi-period excess earnings method for the acquired developed technology, the with and without method for the customer relationships, and the relief-from-royalty method for the trademarks. The valuation of acquired intangible assets utilized Level 3 valuation techniques, which include inputs to the valuation methodology that are considered unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Significant assumptions used by management in the Fusus developed technology multi-period excess earnings (income valuation) approach were projected revenues, earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margins, obsolescence technology factor, and the discount rate. The weighted average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets as of the acquisition date was 7.5 years.

The goodwill generated from the acquisition is primarily attributable to synergies that are expected to be achieved from the integration of the business and is not deductible for tax purposes. Consistent with the assignment of goodwill, the consolidated results of Fusus are included in our Software and Sensors operating segment following the acquisition.
Dedrone
On October 1, 2024, we acquired the remaining 79.8% interest in Dedrone, a global leader in air space security, for incremental consideration transferred of approximately $391.1 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments (the “Dedrone step acquisition”). Our existing 20.2% interest had a fair value at the acquisition date of $112.2 million, which resulted in a non-taxable gain of $51.6 million recorded in other income (loss), net in our consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the previously held investment was remeasured using Level 3 valuation techniques, which include inputs to the valuation methodology that are considered unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
This acquisition represents alignment to our mission and positions us to accelerate the next generation of drone and air space solutions. Total acquisition-related transaction and integration costs were $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. These transaction costs were expensed as incurred in SG&A in our consolidated statements of operations.
The purchase price allocation is subject to revision during the measurement period for normal closing activities, such as income tax filings and settlement of escrow balances, which is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2025. Based on the initial purchase price allocation, we recorded $451.1 million of goodwill, $100.5 million of identifiable intangible assets, and other net liabilities assumed of $47.1 million, excluding deferred taxes. We also recorded a net deferred tax liability of $1.2 million.
The identifiable intangible assets included $41.0 million of developed technology, $41.0 million of in-process research and development, $15.0 million of customer relationships, and $3.5 million of trademarks. With the assistance of third-party valuation experts, we calculated the fair values of the intangible assets using the primary method of cost approach for the developed technology and in-process research and development, the with and without method for customer relationships, and the relief-from-royalty method for the trademarks. The valuation of the developed technology and in-process research and development was also supported by an income approach. The valuation of acquired intangible assets utilized Level 3 valuation techniques, which include inputs and assumptions to the valuation methodology that are considered unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The significant assumption used by management in the Dedrone developed technology and IPR&D cost approaches was direct development cost build-up. The weighted average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets as of the acquisition date was 5.5 years.
The acquired in-process research and development projects represent projects that are expected to enhance our drone capabilities, have not yet been completed for commercialization, and are required to be classified as indefinite-lived assets
until their successful completion. These projects are expected to be placed in service and begin amortizing once they are commercialized and begin contributing to our cash inflows during 2025.
The goodwill generated from the acquisition is primarily attributable to synergies that are expected to be achieved from the integration of the business and is not deductible for tax purposes. Consistent with the assignment of goodwill, the consolidated results of Dedrone are included in our Software and Sensors operating segment following the acquisition.
