Business Acquisition

8. Business Acquisition

In November 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the common units of BlackSky Satellite Systems, fka LeoStella, and it is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Purchase consideration of $0.8 million consisted of the value of the Company's 50% ownership in BlackSky Satellite Systems at the time of the business combination. The following table presents the final purchase price allocation as of September 30, 2025, which summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill of $0.9 million from the business acquisition was primarily attributed to the value expected from the workforce acquired from the acquisition. In addition, $0.4 million of the goodwill recognized is deductible for income tax purposes.

The acquisition-date fair value was determined using a combination of cost approaches and discounted cash flow methods. With respect to intangible assets, the estimated fair values were determined based on relief from royalty and multi-period excess earnings methods. These models used primarily Level 3 inputs, including estimates of projected revenue growth rates, projected EBITDA margins, and an estimated discount rate.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the combined results of the Company and BlackSky Satellite Systems as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only, and do not necessarily represent what the results of operations would have been had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2024. In addition, these pro forma results are not intended to be a projection of future operating results and do not reflect synergies that might be achieved.

The unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments for the pro forma impact of the Company's preliminary purchase price allocation, including the amortization of newly acquired intangible assets; the impact of transaction costs; and the alignment of accounting policies.
