Datavolo, Inc.

On November 25, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Datavolo, Inc. (Datavolo), a privately-held company that built a dataflow infrastructure to support the creation, management, and observability of multimodal data pipelines for enterprise AI. The Company acquired Datavolo for its developed technology and talent. The Company has accounted for this transaction as a business combination.

The acquisition date fair value of the preliminary purchase consideration was $106.8 million, which was comprised of the following (in thousands):

Estimated Fair Value
Cash$19,096 
Common stock(1)
87,706 
Total
$106,802 
________________
(1)Approximately 0.5 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock were included in the purchase consideration and the fair values of these shares were determined based on the closing market price of $171.42 per share on the acquisition date.
In connection with this business combination, the Company also issued to certain of Datavolo’s employees a total of 0.4 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in exchange for a portion of their Datavolo stock. These shares are subject to vesting agreements pursuant to which the shares will vest over four years, subject to each of these employees’ continued employment with the Company or its affiliates. The $64.6 million fair value of these shares is accounted for as post-combination stock-based compensation over the requisite service period of four years. See Note 12, “Equity,” for further discussion.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of purchase consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition:

Estimated Fair Value

(in years)
Cash and cash equivalents$5,916

Deferred tax liabilities, net(1)
(6,773)
Total$106,802 
________________
(1)Deferred tax liabilities, net primarily relate to the intangible asset acquired and the amount presented is net of deferred tax assets.

The fair value of the developed technology intangible asset was estimated using the discounted cash flow method, which utilizes assumptions including projected future revenue generated from the acquired developed technology, projected profit margin, discount rate, and technology migration curve.

The excess of purchase consideration over the preliminary fair values of identifiable net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. The Company believes the goodwill balance associated with this business combination represents the synergies expected from expanded market opportunities when integrating the acquired developed technologies with the Company’s offerings.

From the date of acquisition through January 31, 2025, revenue attributable to Datavolo, included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, was not material. It was impracticable to determine the effect on the Company’s net loss attributable to Datavolo as its operations have been integrated into the Company’s ongoing operations since the date of acquisition.

Other Fiscal 2025 Business Combinations

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, 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. As a result of the preliminary allocation of 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 liabilities, 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.

Revenue and net loss attributable to each of the other fiscal 2025 business combinations, from their respective acquisition dates through January 31, 2025, were included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, and were not material.

Acquisition-related costs, recorded as general and administrative expenses, associated with each of the fiscal 2025 business combinations were not material during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the combined results of operations of the Company and Datavolo, as if Datavolo had been acquired as of February 1, 2023 (in thousands):

The historical consolidated financial information in the unaudited pro forma table above has been adjusted in the pro forma combined financial results to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to this 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, 2023.
