Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

CTT Inc.

On December 10, 2021, the Company acquired CTT Inc. (“CTT”), a company that designs, develops, and manufactures microwave application components and equipment primarily for customers in the defense industry. The purchase price was $22.0 million in cash, subject to adjustments for transaction expenses, indebtedness, cash on hand, and post-closing working capital adjustments. Approximately $6.3 million of the purchase price was paid on December 10, 2021, with the remaining $15.2 million of the purchase price paid on December 30, 2021. The allocation of the total consideration for this acquisition to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding their fair values. However, the Company does not expect any adjustment to such allocations to be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The operating results of the acquisition have been included in the Company’s results of operations from the effective acquisition date. The amount of net sales and earnings of CTT included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 26, 2021 are not material. Had the acquisition occurred as of December 28, 2020, net sales, net income from consolidated operations, net income attributable to Kratos, and basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Kratos on a pro forma basis for the year ended December 26, 2021 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts. CTT is included in the Kratos Government Solutions (KGS) segment.

Cosmic Advanced Engineered Solutions, Inc.

On December 27, 2021, Kratos Integral Holdings, LLC entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire Cosmic Advanced Engineered Solutions, Inc. (“Cosmic”) from the Carol L. Zanmiller Living Trust and the John G. Hutchens Living Trust for $37.5 million in cash, subject to adjustments for transaction expenses, indebtedness, cash on hand, and working capital adjustments. Cosmic focuses on radio frequency, terrestrial, and space-based communication solutions, including digital signals processing and geolocation analysis. In addition, Cosmic provides overhead persistent infrared for missile defense systems and embedded cyber solutions to U.S. government agencies. On December 27, 2021, the acquisition was completed following the satisfaction of all closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval from all required government authorities. The allocation of the total consideration for this acquisition to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding their fair values. However, the Company does not expect any adjustment to such allocations to be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The operating results of the acquisition have been included in the Company’s results of operations from the effective acquisition date. Cosmic is included in the KGS segment.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill represents the value the Company expects to be created by integrating Cosmic’s existing business with Kratos’ related products and customers.

The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value measurements are based primarily on significant inputs not observable in the marketplace and thus represent Level 3 measurements.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the major assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):


Accounts receivable	$	3.8
Unbilled receivables	4.0
Other current assets	0.1
Property and equipment	1.3
Intangible assets	10.0
Total identifiable net assets acquired	19.2
Total identifiable net liabilities assumed	(9.6)
Goodwill	28.6
Net assets acquired, excluding cash	$	38.2

Based on the Company’s estimate of fair value, as of December 27, 2021, net liabilities included $6.7 million of current liabilities. The identifiable intangible assets include trade names of $1.5 million with a remaining useful life of 5 years, backlog of $3.0 million with an estimated useful life of 2 years, customer relationships of $2.5 million with remaining useful lives of 10 years, and developed technology of $3.0 million with a remaining useful life of 10 years. The Company also established a deferred tax liability of $2.9 million for the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of the acquired assets of Cosmic and a corresponding increase in goodwill. The goodwill recorded in this transaction is not expected to be tax-deductible.

The amounts of revenue and operating loss of Cosmic included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 27, 2022 were $12.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

A summary of the consideration paid for the acquired ownership in Cosmic is as follows:


Cash paid	$	39.5
Less: Cash acquired	(1.3)
Total consideration	$	38.2

Southern Research Engineering Division

On March 9, 2022, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire the assets of the Engineering Division of Southern Research Institute (SRI), an Alabama non-profit corporation, for a purchase price of approximately $80.0 million, comprised of $75.0 million in cash, subject to any working capital adjustments, and $5.0 million in Kratos common stock.
