Business Combinations Business Combinations
The consolidated financial statements include the operating results from each acquisition from the date of acquisition noted below. Supplemental pro forma information has not been presented as the effects of the business combinations during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were not material to our consolidated financial statements.
2026 Business Combinations
Carbyne
On February 18, 2026, we acquired the remaining 89.3% interest in Carbyne Ltd. (“Carbyne”), a leading cloud-native emergency communications and response platform. Net of cash acquired and equity consideration attributable to pre-combination service, total cash paid in the business combination was approximately $549.7 million. Incremental consideration transferred was approximately $561.2 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition aligns with our mission and positions us to accelerate next-generation public safety communications and emergency response solutions. We recorded acquisition-related transaction and integration costs of $6.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Our existing interest of approximately 10.7% had a fair value at the acquisition date of $67.2 million, which resulted in a non-taxable gain of $37.7 million.
The purchase price allocation, which may be subject to revision during the measurement period for purchase accounting adjustments to balances such as intangible assets, pre-acquisition legal contingencies, working capital, and income tax assets and liabilities, is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2027. Based on the initial purchase price allocation, we recorded $524.7 million of goodwill, $108.2 million of identifiable intangible assets, $10.1 million of acquired cash, and assumed $12.4 million of other net liabilities, excluding deferred taxes. We also recorded net deferred tax liabilities of $2.2 million.
The identifiable intangible assets included $79.0 million of developed technology, $27.1 million of customer relationships, and $2.1 million of trademarks. The fair values of the intangible assets were calculated using the multi-period excess earnings method for the developed technology, the distributor method for customer relationships, and the relief-from-royalty method for the trademarks. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the developed technology included projected revenues, estimated economic life of 8 years, and an appropriate discount rate. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the customer relationships included projected revenues, customer attrition rates, distributor margins, and appropriate discount rates. The weighted average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets as of the acquisition date was 7.9 years.
The goodwill associated with this business combination 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 Carbyne are included in our Software and Services reportable segment following the business combination.
2025 Business Combinations
Prepared
On October 1, 2025, we acquired the remaining 99.2% interest in Invictus Apps, Inc. (“Prepared”), a leading provider of AI-powered emergency communications software. Net of cash acquired and equity consideration attributable to pre-combination service, total cash paid in the business combination was approximately $624.1 million. Incremental consideration transferred was approximately $728.2 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition aligns with our mission and positions us to accelerate next-generation public safety communications and emergency response solutions. Acquisition-related transaction and integration costs were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Our existing interest of approximately 0.8% had a fair value at the acquisition date of $6.2 million, which resulted in a non-taxable gain of $2.2 million.
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 2026. During the first quarter of 2026, we recorded immaterial measurement period adjustments. Based on the current purchase price allocation, including measurement period adjustments, we have recorded $596.7 million of goodwill, $98.9 million of acquired cash, $47.5 million of identifiable intangible assets, and assumed $1.1 million of other net liabilities, excluding deferred taxes. We also recorded net deferred tax liabilities of $7.6 million.
As of the acquisition date, the identifiable intangible assets included $37.0 million of developed technology, $7.3 million of customer relationships, and $3.2 million of trademarks. The fair values of the intangible assets were calculated using the relief-from-royalty method for the developed technology, the multi-period excess earnings method for customer relationships, and the relief-from-royalty method for the trademarks. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the developed technology included projected revenues, the selected royalty rate, estimated economic life of 5 years, and an appropriate discount rate. The weighted average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets as of the acquisition date was 5 years.
The goodwill associated with this business combination 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 Prepared are included in our Software and Services reportable segment following the business combination.
