Acquisition of Mercent Corporation
Acquisition of Mercent Corporation
On January 8, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Mercent, an online marketing technology and service company that helps merchants optimize performance across online channels, for total cash consideration of approximately $20.2 million, net of cash acquired.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company incurred transaction-related costs of approximately $166 thousand, which are included in general and administrative expenses. No additional cost was incurred in the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company allocated the purchase price to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value. The allocation of the Mercent purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was as follows (in thousands):
Cash
$
41

Accounts receivable
2,559

Prepaid expenses
87

Property and equipment
336

Customer relationships

Developed software technology

Goodwill
12,390

Accounts payable and accrued expenses

Deferred revenue

Methodologies used in valuing the intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the multiple period excess earnings method for developed software technology and customer relationships. The excess of the purchase price over the total net identifiable assets has been recorded as goodwill, which includes synergies expected from the expanded service capabilities and the value of the assembled work force. For federal income tax purposes, the transaction is treated as a stock acquisition and the goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
