Acquisitions and Investments

On December 22, 2021, Definitive Healthcare, LLC (“DH, LLC”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Definitive Healthcare Corp. made a $40.0 million investment in Analytical Wizards Inc. (“AW” or “Analytical Wizards”), a privately held company. Analytical Wizards automates complex analytic models using tools that expedite efficient big data mining through artificial intelligence (“A.I.”) and machine learning (“M.L.”) to uncover deep insights. In the transaction the Company purchased Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of AW (“Series B Preferred Stock”), representing 35% ownership of AW, and an option to acquire the remaining 65% ownership (the "Purchase Option") for $65.0 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company determined it did not have a controlling financial interest in AW at transaction close as the Company did not have the right to control the governing body of AW or have control through other contractual rights. At December 31, 2021, because the Series B Preferred Stock and the Purchase Option did not have readily determinable fair values, the Company elected to apply the measurement alternative and adjust the carrying value of the investments in AW for impairments and observable prices in identical or similar equity securities of AW. The Company paid $40.0 million for the Series B Preferred Stock and Purchase Option, which was allocated on a relative fair value basis such that the Series B Preferred Stock and Purchase Option had carrying values of $32.7 million and $7.3 million at the time of the transaction, respectively. The Series B Preferred Stock was recorded in Investments in equity securities and the Purchase Option was recorded in Other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

On February 18, 2022, the Company purchased the remaining 65% of AW’s equity for $65.0 million, net of cash acquired and an estimated working capital adjustment and other customary purchase price adjustments (the “AW acquisition”). The Company’s previously held investment and Purchase Option were remeasured at fair value as of the date the Purchase Option was exercised. The remeasurement had an immaterial impact on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company has included the financial results of Analytical Wizards in the consolidated financial statements from February 18, 2022, the date of acquisition.

Upon the consummation of the acquisition, AW became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Definitive Healthcare Corp. The total consideration for the initial investment and subsequent exercise of the Purchase Option was $99.4 million, consisting of $40.0 million for the initial investment paid in December 2021, approximately $58.6 million of cash paid at closing, $0.2 million reimbursement from sellers for working capital adjustments, and up to $5.0 million of contingent consideration, initially valued at $1.0 million. The contingent consideration, which relates to earn-out payments that may be paid out, subject to meeting certain expense control metrics during the two-year period following the closing of the AW acquisition, has an estimated fair value of $1.0 million as of the acquisition date. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement governing the AW acquisition, $10.0 million of the consideration was deposited into an escrow account to secure certain indemnification claims of DH, LLC. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated preliminary fair values and the results of operations were included in the Company’s consolidated results as of the acquisition date.

The contingent consideration is based on the achievement of certain expense control metrics during the two-year period following the acquisition date, with potential earn-out payouts ranging from $0 to $5.0 million. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $1.0 million as of February 18, 2022, based on the estimated achievement of the expense control metrics and time to payment. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $2.3 million at December 31, 2022. The contingent consideration was recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 12. Fair Value Measurements.

As a result of the AW acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill, customer relationships, developed software, and tradename of $61.7 million, $39.4 million, $6.1 million, and $0.5 million, respectively, as of the acquisition date. The goodwill recognized includes the fair value of the assembled workforce, which is not recognized as an intangible asset separable from goodwill, and any expected synergies gained through the acquisition. The Company determined that the goodwill resulting from the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. All goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s one reportable segment.

Customer relationships represent the estimated fair value of the underlying relationships with the acquired entity’s business customers. The Company valued customer relationships using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method. Significant assumptions include estimated attrition rates, discount rates, and tax rates reflecting the different risk profiles of the asset depending upon the acquisition. The value assigned to customer relationships is $39.4 million and is amortized using the annual pattern of cash flows (economic value method) over the estimated 20-year life of this asset.

The developed software represents AW’s two modules. Passport Promotional Analytics helps customers to optimize internal investment and business management by focusing on driving incremental efficiencies in sales, cost management, profit optimization, and productive gains. Passport Planning and Performance helps customers to analyze large data sets in order to proactively predict business outcomes. The Company used the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method, to determine the value of developed software. Significant assumptions include forecast of royalty rate, tax rate, and discount rate. The developed software was valued at $6.1 million and is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of 6 years.

The tradename represents the estimated fair value of the registered trade name associated with the AW corporate brand. The Company estimated the fair value of the trademark using a relief from royalty method of the income approach. Significant assumptions include forecast of royalty rate, tax rate, and discount rate. The trademark was valued at $0.5 million and is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of 5 years.

The amortization periods for the customer relationships, developed software, and tradenames are 20 years, 6 years, and 5 years, respectively. See Note 9 for the estimated total intangible amortization expense during the next five years.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized acquisition related costs of $1.3 million which were recorded within transaction expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, AW’s post-acquisition revenue and net loss on a standalone basis were not material.

2020 Acquisition

On October 27, 2020, the Company completed the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of Monocl Holding Company (“Monocl”), a cloud-based platform with millions of expert profiles, for a total estimated consideration of $46.3 million and up to $60.0 million, consisting of approximately $18.3 million of cash payable at closing, $25.4 million of rollover equity, and up to $15.0 million of contingent consideration. The contingent consideration, which relates to earn-out payments that may be paid out upon the achievement of certain performance targets has an estimated fair value of $2.6 million as of the acquisition date. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values and the results of operations were included in the Company’s consolidated results as of the acquisition date.

Cash consideration for the acquisition was primarily provided through borrowings under the Company’s credit facility.

The performance targets for the contingent consideration are based on ARR for each of the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021. Potential payouts range from $0 to $5.0 million and $0 to $10 million based on ARR of below $8.5 million to over $9.5 million and below $12.0 million to over $16.0 million for each of the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Based on the achievement of certain ARR targets, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $7.5 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $5.2 million at December 31, 2020 based on the achievement of Annual 2020 ARR targets and the probability of achieving the 2021 targets. Refer to note 9. Fair Value Measurements for more detail.

As a result of the Monocl acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill, customer relationships, data, technology, and trademark of $28.3 million, $11.9 million, $3.0 million, $2.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, as of the acquisition date. The goodwill recognized includes the fair value of the assembled workforce, which is not recognized as an intangible asset separable from goodwill, and any expected synergies gained through the acquisition. The Company determined that the goodwill resulting from the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. In connection with the acquisition, the Company also recorded deferred revenue of $2.9 million and a contingent consideration liability of $2.6 million. See Note 12. Fair Value Measurements for more detail on determination of fair value.

Customer relationships represent the estimated fair value of the underlying relationships with the acquired entity’s business customers. The Company valued customer relationships using the income approach, specifically the excess earnings method. Significant assumptions include forecast of revenues, cost of revenues, estimated attrition rates, and discount rates reflecting the different risk profiles of the asset depending upon the acquisition. The value assigned to customer relationships is $11.9 million and is amortized using the annual pattern of cash flows (economic value method) over the estimated 14-year life of this asset.

Data includes proprietary data on medical and scientific expert personnel. The Company used the cost approach, specifically the replacement cost method to value the data. The Fair value of the data was estimated to be $3.0 million and is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of 3 years.

The technology recognized includes Monocl’s existing technology and provides users with a cloud-based platform with millions of expert profiles generated using machine learning and tailored algorithms through an online platform. This technology provides the automated collection of content sources, data processing and augmentation, and ultimately the generation of contextually relevant and continuously updated expert profiles. The Company used the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method, to determine the value of technology, which was valued at $2.6 million and is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of 8 years.

The trademark represents the estimated fair value of the registered trademarks, logo and domain names associated with the Monocl corporate brand. The Company estimated the fair value of the trademark using a relief from royalty method. Significant assumptions include forecast of royalty rate, company revenues, tax rate, and discount rate. The trademark was valued at $1.4 million and is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of 19 years.

The weighted average amortization period for the customer relationships, tradenames, technology, and data is 15 years, 17 years, 8 years and 3 years, respectively. See Note 9 for the estimated total intangible amortization expense during the next five years.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized acquisition related costs of $0.4 million which were recorded within transaction expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The net loss of Monocl is included in the Company’s consolidated results since the date of acquisition. The revenue and net loss of Monocl reflected in the consolidated statements operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
