Fiscal 2021 Acquisition

Plumbr

On October 5, 2020, we acquired 100% of the voting equity interest of OÜ Plumbr (“Plumbr”), a privately-held Estonian corporation that offers auto-instrumentation, real user monitoring and application performance monitoring capabilities. This acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price of $11.8 million, paid in cash, was
allocated as follows: $3.9 million to identifiable intangible assets, $0.3 million to net liabilities acquired, with the excess $8.2 million of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is allocated to our one operating segment, is not deductible for income tax purposes and is primarily attributable to the value expected from the synergies of the combination, including combined selling opportunities with our products. The identifiable intangible assets, which primarily consisted of developed technology, has an estimated useful life of 3 years. We also entered into holdback agreements for equity awards with a fair value of $4.6 million with certain employees which are subject to the recipients’ continued service with us and thus excluded from the purchase price and will be recognized ratably as stock-based compensation expense over the required service period. The results of operations of Plumbr have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of purchase.

Fiscal 2020 Acquisitions

SignalFx

On October 1, 2019, we acquired 100% of the voting equity interest of SignalFx, Inc. (“SignalFx”), a privately-held Delaware corporation that develops real-time monitoring solutions for cloud infrastructure, microservices and applications. This acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. The total fair value of consideration transferred for this acquisition was $961.4 million, which consisted of $619.1 million in cash, $324.5 million for the fair value of 2,771,482 shares of our common stock issued and $17.8 million in fair value of replacement equity awards attributable to pre-acquisition service. The purchase price was allocated as follows: $173.7 million to identified intangible assets, $62.1 million to net assets acquired and $3.3 million to net deferred tax liabilities, with the excess $728.9 million of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill, allocated to our one operating segment. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the value expected from the synergies of the combination, including combined selling opportunities with our products. This goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations of SignalFx have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of purchase.

Per the terms of the merger agreement with SignalFx, certain unvested stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards held by SignalFx employees were canceled and exchanged for replacement equity awards under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. Additionally, certain shares of stock issued pursuant to share-based compensation awards held by key employees of SignalFx were canceled and exchanged for replacement equity awards consisting of unregistered restricted shares of our common stock subject to vesting. The portion of the fair value of the replacement equity awards associated with pre-acquisition service of SignalFx’s employees represented a component of the total purchase consideration, as discussed above. The remaining fair value of $104.7 million of these issued awards, which are subject to the recipients’ continued service with us and thus excluded from the purchase price, will be recognized ratably as stock-based compensation expense over the required service period.

The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives as of the date of acquisition:
 
(In thousands, except useful life)Fair Value Useful Life
(in months)
Developed technology$108,800 84
Customer relationships60,900 60
Other acquired intangible assets4,000 36

We applied significant judgment in determining the fair value of the intangible assets acquired, which involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to revenue growth rates, royalty rate and technology migration curve.

The total fair value of consideration transferred for this acquisition was $52.5 million, which consisted of $31.6 million in cash, $20.2 million for the fair value of 176,989 shares of our common stock issued and $0.7 million in fair value of replacement equity awards attributable to pre-acquisition service.
The purchase price was allocated to $8.0 million of identified intangible assets, with the excess $44.5 million of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill, allocated to our one operating segment.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations as if the acquisitions of SignalFx and Omnition had been completed in the beginning of the applicable comparable prior annual reporting period. The unaudited pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to the following: (i) amortization associated with preliminary estimates for the acquired intangible assets; (ii) recognition of post-acquisition stock-based compensation; (iii) the effect of recording deferred revenue at fair value; (iv) elimination of historical interest expense related to debt extinguished in the acquisition of SignalFx; (v) the inclusion of acquisition costs as of the earliest period presented; and (vi) the associated tax impact of the acquisitions and these unaudited pro forma adjustments.

The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any cost saving synergies from operating efficiencies or the effect of the incremental costs incurred from integrating these companies. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, nor are they indicative of future results of operations:
