Acquisitions
Spin-Off and Mergers
On May 31, 2018, immediately following the consummation of the Spin-Off, the Company completed the Mergers. As defined in the Merger Agreement, Perspecta issued shares of Perspecta common stock to Veritas Capital and its affiliates, including 18,877,244 shares to The SI Organization Holdings LLC (the “Vencore HC Stockholder”) and 4,396,097 shares to KGS Holding LLC (the “KeyPoint Stockholder,” and, together with the Vencore HC Stockholder, the “Vencore Stockholders”), representing in the aggregate approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of Perspecta common stock immediately following the Mergers. As a result of these transactions, Vencore HC and KGS HC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Perspecta.

The Spin-Off and Mergers were structured as a “Reverse Morris Trust” transaction, in which Perspecta was deemed the accounting acquirer of Vencore HC and KGS HC and their respective subsidiaries. Purchase consideration transferred in a business combination is typically measured by reference to the fair value of equity issued or other assets transferred by the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the fair value of the purchase consideration transferred was measured based on the fair value of approximately 14% of shares of the combined business, $400 million cash transferred by Perspecta to the Vencore Stockholders, and approximately $1.0 billion paid to extinguish certain existing Vencore indebtedness.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, total consideration exchanged was:

(1) 
Represents the fair value of consideration received by the Vencore HC Stockholder and the KeyPoint Stockholder for approximately 14% ownership in the combined company. The fair value of the purchase consideration transferred was based on 18,877,244 shares of Perspecta common stock distributed to Vencore HC Stockholder and 4,396,097 shares of Perspecta common stock distributed to the KeyPoint Stockholder as of the close of business on the record date for the Mergers, at the closing price of $24.86 per share on May 31, 2018.
The information presented below represents the allocation of Vencore’s purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including acquiree-related transaction costs of $38 million, as of the acquisition date, May 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has finalized the accounting for the Mergers. The major classes of assets and liabilities to which the purchase price was allocated were as follows:

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the closing date of the Mergers.

The goodwill recognized in the Mergers is attributable to the intellectual capital, the acquired assembled work force and expected cost synergies, none of which qualify for recognition as a separate intangible asset. The goodwill related to the Mergers is not expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill discussed above includes approximately $195 million of tax deductible goodwill. Goodwill arising from the Mergers has been allocated to Perspecta’s reporting units based on the relative fair value of assets acquired.

The Company made certain valuation adjustments to provisional amounts previously recognized. These adjustments resulted in a net $93 million decrease of the goodwill, primarily due to fair value adjustments resulting in an increase in net identifiable assets acquired. As a result, the Company updated the preliminary allocation to Perspecta’s reportable segments as follows: $1.1 billion allocated to Defense and Intelligence and $77 million allocated to Civilian and Health Care.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents results as if the Spin-Off and the Mergers and the related financing had occurred on April 1, 2017. The historical consolidated financial information of Perspecta has been adjusted in the pro forma information to give effect to the events that are (1) directly attributable to the transactions, (2) factually supportable and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The effects of the Spin-Off are primarily attributable to interest expense associated with the incurrence of debt in connection with the Spin-Off. The effects of the Mergers primarily relate to amortization of acquired intangible assets. The consolidated financial information of Perspecta includes merger and integration-related costs that are not expected to recur and impact the combined results over the long-term. The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect future events that have occurred or may occur after the transactions, including but not limited to, the impact of any actual or anticipated synergies expected to result from the Mergers. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the transactions been effected on April 1, 2017, nor is it necessarily an indication of future operating results.

(3) Historical earnings per common share information for the year ended March 31, 2018 is computed using the 142.43 million shares of Perspecta common stock resulting from the Distribution. See Note 4 – “Earnings Per Share.” Pro forma combined earnings per common share includes the shares issued by Perspecta in connection with the Mergers on May 31, 2018. As a result, both basic and diluted; pro forma combined earnings per common share information is computed based on 165.70 million shares of Perspecta common stock as Perspecta did not operate as a stand-alone entity during the period, and therefore, no Perspecta common stock, stock options or other equity awards were outstanding and no dividends were declared or paid by Perspecta.

HPES Merger

On April 1, 2017, Computer Sciences Corporation (“CSC”), HPE, Everett SpinCo, Inc. (“Everett”), and New Everett Merger Sub Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Everett (“Merger Sub”), completed the strategic combination of CSC with the HPE Enterprise Services business (“HPES”) to form DXC (the “HPES Merger”). At the time of the HPES Merger, Everett was renamed DXC, and as a result of the HPES Merger, CSC became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DXC. The transaction was determined to be a reverse merger and CSC was determined to be the accounting acquirer of DXC. Therefore, for accounting purposes DXC, and in turn USPS, was subject to purchase price allocation adjustments as of April 1, 2017.

The information presented in this note represents allocation of USPS’s purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, April 1, 2017. The total fair value of consideration transferred for USPS was approximately $2.9 billion. The purchase price was determined based on the enterprise value of USPS estimated as part of the purchase price allocation related to the HPES Merger compared to the total value of all shares issued by DXC.

The allocation of purchase price was completed as of March 31, 2018. The major classes of assets and liabilities to which the purchase price was allocated were as follows:

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

As of the period ended March 31, 2018, the Company made a number of refinements to the April 1, 2017 preliminary purchase price allocation as reported September 30, 2017. These refinements were primarily driven by the Company recording valuation adjustments to certain preliminary estimates of fair values which resulted in an increase in net assets of $5 million. Total assets increased by $10 million, primarily driven by a $70 million increase in intangible assets, and a $9 million increase in current assets, which was partially offset by a $68 million decrease in property and equipment. Liabilities increased by $5 million primarily driven by increases in current capital lease liability, accrued payroll, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities, as well as non-current capital lease liabilities.
