Acquisitions Acquisitions
Technical Directions, Inc.

On February 24, 2020, the Company acquired Technical Directions, Inc. (“TDI”), a turbine technology company focused on tactical unmanned aerial drones, missile and other systems for approximately $10.5 million in cash, subject to adjustments for transaction expenses, indebtedness, cash on hand, and post-closing working capital adjustments. Working capital adjustments of $0.3 million were settled in the third quarter of 2020. 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 TDI included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 27, 2020 are not material. Had the acquisition occurred as of December 29, 2019, 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 27, 2020 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts. TDI is included in the Kratos US segment.
Optimized Performance Machining, Inc.

On April 17, 2020, the Company acquired Optimized Performance Machining, Inc.(“OPM”), a company that primarily operates in the industrial machinery and equipment repair business industry for approximately $1.8 million in cash, subject to adjustments for transaction expenses, indebtedness, cash on hand, and post-closing working capital adjustments. Working capital adjustments of $0.03 million were settled in the third quarter of 2020. 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 OPM included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 27, 2020 are not material. Had the acquisition occurred as of December 29, 2019, 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 27, 2020 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts. OPM is included in the Kratos US segment.

CPI ASC Signal Division, Inc.

On June 15, 2020, Kratos Integral Holdings, LLC entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire CPI ASC Signal Division, Inc. (“ASC Signal”) from Communications & Power Industries LLC for approximately $35 million in cash, subject to adjustments for transaction expenses, indebtedness, cash on hand, and working capital adjustments. The adjustments for transaction expenses, indebtedness, cash on hand and working capital were settled by the parties in January 2021, resulting in a net payment due to the Company of approximately $1.4 million. ASC Signal is a manufacturer of high-performance, highly engineered antenna systems for satellite communications, radar, electronic warfare, and high frequency applications. On June 30, 2020, the acquisition was completed following the satisfaction of all closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval from all required government authorities. ASC Signal is included in the KSTC Division of the Company’s 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 ASC Signal’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 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 $5.7 
Unbilled receivables0.9 
Inventoried costs10.4 
Other current assets1.8 
Property and equipment10.0 
Intangible assets4.3 
Goodwill10.8 
  Total identifiable net assets acquired43.9 
Total identifiable net liabilities assumed(11.0)
  Net assets acquired, excluding cash $32.9 

Based on the Company’s preliminary estimate of fair value, as of June 30, 2020, net liabilities included $9.1 million of current liabilities. The identifiable intangible assets include trade names of $0.1 million with a remaining useful life of 1 year, customer relationships of $2.0 million with remaining useful lives of 5 years, and developed technology of $2.2 million with a remaining useful life of 7 years. The Company also established a deferred tax liability of $1.1 million for the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of the acquired assets of ASC Signal 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 income of ASC Signal included in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 27, 2020 were $21.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Included in
Merger and acquisition expenses for the year ended December 27, 2020 were transaction expenses of $1.1 million, related to the acquisition of ASC Signal.

Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

The following tables summarize the supplemental condensed consolidated statements of operations information on an unaudited pro forma basis as if the acquisition of ASC Signal occurred on December 30, 2019 and include adjustments that were directly attributable to the foregoing transactions. There are no material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings (loss). The pro forma results are for illustrative purposes only for the applicable period and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the transaction been completed as of the beginning of the period, nor are they indicative of results of operations that may occur in the future.

5-D Systems, Inc.

On November 18, 2020, the Company acquired 5-D Systems, Inc. (“5-D Systems”), a leading National Security Solutions provider and industry-leading provider of high-performance, jet-powered unmanned aerial systems for an aggregate of approximately $10.0 million. The purchase price was $5.0 million in cash, subject to adjustments for transaction expenses, indebtedness, cash on hand, and post-closing working capital adjustments, and 250,374 shares of common stock (with a value of approximately $5.0 million). 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 5-D Systems included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 27, 2020 are not material. Had the acquisition occurred as of December 29, 2019, 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 27, 2020 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts. 5-D Systems is included in the Kratos US segment.

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 approximately $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, $15.2 million of the purchase price was paid on December 30, 2021, and the remainder of the purchase price was paid during the three months ended June 26, 2022. 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 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 approximately $37.5 million in cash (not including a $0.4 million holdback to be paid at a later date). Cosmic focuses on radio frequency (RF), 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 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 receivables4.1 
Other current assets0.1 
Property and equipment1.3 
Intangible assets8.5 
  Total identifiable net assets acquired17.8 
Total identifiable net liabilities assumed(9.1)
Goodwill29.2 
Net assets acquired, excluding cash$37.9 

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 $0.6 million with a remaining useful life of 5 years, backlog of $1.7 million with an estimated useful life of 1 year, customer relationships of $4.4 million with a remaining useful life of 10 years, and developed technology of $1.8 million with a remaining useful life of 5 years. The Company also established a deferred tax liability of $2.4 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 value of customer relationships was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”), an income approach (Level 3), which converts projected revenues and costs into cash flows. To reflect the fact that certain other assets contribute to the cash flows generated, the returns for these contributory assets were removed to arrive at estimated cash flows solely attributable to the acquired customer relationships, which were discounted at a rate of 11% to determine the fair value. The value of backlog was also valued using MPEEM. The value of developed technology was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, an income approach (Level 3), which estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of the intangible asset that would otherwise be payable as royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. A royalty rate of 11% was applied to the projected revenues associated with the intangible asset to determine the amount of savings in order to determine the fair value.

The amounts of revenue and operating loss of Cosmic included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 25, 2022 were $59.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
A summary of the consideration paid for the acquired ownership in Cosmic is as follows (in millions):

Cash paid$39.0 
Holdback to be paid at later date0.4 
Less: Cash acquired(1.5)
Total consideration$37.9

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 $79.4 million, comprised of $74.4 million in cash, subject to adjustments for working capital, potential earn-out consideration tied to revenue from certain in-development products, indebtedness and transaction expenses, and $5.0 million in Kratos common stock. SRI’s Engineering Division (“SRE”) is the market leader in assisting customers in the development, modeling, and deployment of advanced materials for extreme environments, including hypersonic, space, missile, missile defense, strategic deterrence, propulsion systems, and energy applications. SRE also specializes in Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance sensor development, electromechanical systems design and integration, aerospace engineering, materials engineering, artificial intelligence and machine learning, directed energy, RF systems design and integration, advanced manufacturing, and computational sciences. The acquisition established Kratos SRE, Inc., a new business within Kratos’ Defense and Rocket Support Services Division.

On May 23, 2022, the acquisition was completed following the satisfaction of all closing conditions, including receipt of necessary approval from all required government authorities. The operating results of the acquisition have been included in the Company’s results of operations from the effective acquisition date.

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 SRE’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 preliminary allocation of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the major assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):

Accounts receivable $2.9 
Unbilled receivables11.1 
Inventory0.5 
Other current assets0.2

Intangible assets10.8 
  Total identifiable net assets acquired48.5 
Total identifiable net liabilities assumed(3.4)
Goodwill34.3 
Net assets acquired, excluding cash$79.4 

Based on the Company’s preliminary estimate of fair value, as of May 23, 2022, net liabilities included $2.5 million of current liabilities. The identifiable intangible assets include trade names of $0.5 million with a remaining useful life of 5 years, backlog of $2.5 million with an estimated useful life of 3 years, in-process research and development of $7.3 million that will commence amortization at the completion of the development, and developed technology of $0.5 million with a remaining useful life of 3 years. The Company also established a deferred tax asset of $0.2 million for the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of the acquired assets of SRE and a corresponding decrease in goodwill. The goodwill recorded in this transaction is expected to be tax-deductible.

The value of backlog was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”), an income approach (Level 3), which converts projected revenues and costs into cash flows. To reflect the fact that certain other assets contribute to the cash flows generated, the returns for these contributory assets were removed to arrive at estimated cash flows solely attributable to the acquired backlog, which were discounted at a rate of 6.4% to determine the fair value. The value of developed technology was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, an income approach (Level 3), which estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of the intangible asset that would otherwise be payable as royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. A royalty rate was applied to the projected revenues associated with the intangible asset to determine the amount of savings, which was at a rate of 11% to determine the fair value. The value of in-process research and development was also estimated using the relief-from-royalty method. A royalty rate of 12% was applied to the projected revenues associated with the intangible asset to determine the amount of savings in order to determine the fair value.

The amounts of revenue and operating income of SRE included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year end December 25, 2022 were $26.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

A summary of the consideration paid for the acquired assets is as follows (in millions):

Cash paid$74.4 
Common stock issued5.0 
Total consideration$79.4

There are no material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and income (loss). The pro forma results are for illustrative purposes only for the applicable period and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the transaction been completed as of the beginning of the period, nor are they indicative of results of operations that may occur in the future.
