Fiscal 2025

During the nine months ended October 31, 2024, the Company completed acquisitions of two privately-held companies for an aggregate of $19.2 million in cash. The Company has accounted for these transactions as business combinations. In allocating the aggregate purchase consideration based on the estimated fair values, the Company recorded a total of $4.4 million of a customer relationships intangible asset (to be amortized over an estimated useful life of five years), $4.1 million of developed technology intangible assets (to be amortized over estimated useful lives of five years), $3.5 million of net liabilities acquired, $0.6 million of deferred tax liability, and $14.8 million of goodwill, of which $8.3 million is deductible and $6.5 million is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair values of net tangible and identifiable assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The Company believes the goodwill balances associated with these business combinations are primarily attributed to the assembled workforce and expected synergies arising from the acquisition.

Acquisition-related costs, recorded as general and administrative expenses, associated with each of the fiscal 2025 business combinations were not material during the nine months ended October 31, 2024.

Revenue and net loss attributable to each of the companies acquired in fiscal 2025, from their respective acquisition dates through October 31, 2024, were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, and were not material.

The Company acquired Neeva primarily for its talent and developed technology. The Company has accounted for this transaction as a business combination.

The purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. During each of the three months ended July 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments which did not have material impacts on goodwill. The allocation of purchase consideration, inclusive of measurement period adjustments, was as follows:

The historical condensed consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the pro forma combined financial results to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the business combination, reasonably estimable, and factually supportable. The pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if this business combination had taken place as of February 1, 2022.
