dataJAR
On July 13, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of dataJAR, a UK-based leading MSP focused on providing powerful Apple and Jamf services for businesses and educational organizations. dataJAR’s proprietary software provides a single pane of glass for Jamf MSP partners that assist in managing multiple organizations’ deployments, reducing support tickets, and allowing partners to more seamlessly manage devices. We believe this acquisition will help Jamf partner more closely with its MSP partners and expand the reach of its leading Apple-first and Apple-best management and security platform.
Under the terms of the dataJAR Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in dataJAR for total purchase consideration of £19.3 million (or approximately $25.1 million using the exchange rate on July 13, 2023), which included (i) £16.6 million (or approximately $21.6 million using the exchange rate on July 13, 2023) paid upon closing, (ii) £0.2 million (or approximately $0.3 million using the exchange rate on July 13, 2023) in cash as partial security for post-closing true-up adjustments, and (iii) £2.5 million (or approximately $3.2 million using the exchange rate on July 13, 2023) in cash as partial security for post-closing indemnification claims to be released 12 months from the closing date. The cash consideration paid upon closing was funded by the Company’s cash on hand. The amount held back as partial security for post-closing true-up adjustments was released in the fourth quarter of 2023.
In addition, the terms of the dataJAR Purchase Agreement provide for additional future payments to the sellers in the amount of up to £6.5 million (or approximately $8.4 million using the exchange rate on July 13, 2023) if certain key employees continue their employment with the Company through July 13, 2024. This expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company recognized expense of $3.7 million related to this agreement during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Acquisition-related expenses of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 were expensed as incurred. These expenses were recognized as acquisition costs in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
The final purchase accounting allocations for the dataJAR acquisition will be determined within one year from the acquisition date and depend on a number of factors, including the final valuation of our intangible assets acquired and finalization of income tax effects of the opening balance sheet. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents$2,789 
Trade accounts receivable, net945 
Prepaid expenses1,208 
Other current assets10 
Intangible assets acquired9,400 
Operating lease assets252 
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable(605)
Accrued liabilities(599)
Income taxes payable(45)
Deferred revenue(3,230)
Operating lease liabilities(191)
Deferred tax liability(2,398)
Goodwill17,550 
Total purchase consideration$25,086 
The allocation of the purchase price required management to make significant estimates in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to intangible assets. These estimates included, but were not limited to:
future expected cash flows from subscription contracts and acquired developed technologies;
anticipated growth in revenue and churn rates for existing customers;
obsolescence curves and other useful life assumptions, such as the period of time and intended use of acquired intangible assets in the Company’s product offerings; and
discount rates.
The goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the underlying net identifiable assets. The goodwill recognized in this acquisition is primarily attributable to expected synergies in sales opportunities across complementary products, customers, and geographies and cross-selling opportunities. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
The estimated useful lives and fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired were as follows:
Useful LifeGross Value
(in thousands)
Customer relationships
6.0 years$5,000 
Developed technology
5.0 years4,400 
Total identifiable intangible assets$9,400 
The weighted-average useful life of the intangible assets acquired was 5.5 years.
Customer relationships represent the estimated fair value of the underlying relationships with dataJAR customers and were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. Developed technology represents the estimated fair value of the dataJAR software and was valued using the relief from royalty method.
Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition were not presented as the effects were not material to our financial results.
ZecOps
On November 16, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of ZecOps, a leader in mobile detection and response, pursuant to the terms of the ZecOps Merger Agreement.
Under the terms of the ZecOps Merger Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in ZecOps for total purchase consideration of $44.5 million. The total purchase consideration included cash consideration of $28.4 million, equity consideration of $15.1 million (based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on November 16, 2022), and repayment of the $1.0 million SAFE investment in ZecOps the Company entered into in the third quarter of 2022. The cash consideration included (i) $0.3 million in cash held back in an escrow fund as partial security for post-closing true-up adjustments and (ii) $7.2 million in cash held back in an escrow fund as partial security for post-closing indemnification claims with (A) 50% of the then existing escrowed amount to be released 18 months following the closing date and (B) the remaining escrowed amount to be released on March 1, 2025. The cash consideration was funded by the Company’s cash on hand. The amount held back in an escrow fund as partial security for post-closing true-up adjustments was released in the second quarter of 2023. The equity consideration consisted of up to 711,111 shares of the Company’s common stock, based on (i) the deemed total equity consideration value under the ZecOps Merger Agreement of $19.2 million divided by (ii) the agreed upon floor of the Company’s stock price of $27.00 per share. On the closing date, 710,691 shares of the equity consideration were issued to applicable ZecOps equityholders, and 420 shares were issued into a reserve account, subject to the completion of customary shareholder certifications. The reserved shares were subsequently released in January 2023. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded an immaterial measurement period adjustment.
Acquisition-related expenses of $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 were expensed as incurred. These expenses were recognized as acquisition costs in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
