Acquisitions

Hittite Microwave Corporation

On July 22, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Hittite, a company that designs and develops high performance integrated circuits, modules, subsystems and instrumentation for radio frequency, microwave and millimeterwave applications. The total consideration paid to acquire Hittite was approximately $2.4 billion, financed through a combination of existing cash on hand and a 90-day term loan facility of $2.0 billion. The Acquisition is expected to expand the Company’s technology position in high performance signal processing solutions and drive growth in key markets. The Company completed the Acquisition through a cash tender offer (the Offer) by BBAC Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Hittite at a purchase price of $78.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes. After completion of the Offer, BBAC Corp. merged with and into Hittite, with Hittite continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The results of operations of Hittite from July 22, 2014 (the Acquisition Date) are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for fiscal 2014. The amount revenue and earnings attributable to Hittite included in the Company's consolidated statements of income for fiscal 2014 was immaterial.

The Acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred in the Acquisition consisted of the following:

Cash consideration	$	2,424,446
Fair value of replacement share-based awards	6,541
Total estimated purchase price	$	2,430,987

Hittite Replacement Awards — In connection with the Acquisition, the Company issued equity awards to certain Hittite employees in replacement of Hittite equity awards that were canceled at closing. The replacement awards consisted of approximately 0.7 million restricted stock units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $48.20. The grant-date fair value of the restricted stock units represents the value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the Company’s common stock prior to vesting. The terms and the intrinsic value of these awards were substantially the same as the canceled Hittite awards. The $6.5 million noted in the table above represents the portion of the fair value of the replacement awards associated with services rendered though the Acquisition Date and have been included as a component of the total estimated purchase price.

The preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Acquisition Date is set forth in the table below. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair value of identifiable net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. These preliminary fair values were determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques and are subject to change during the measurement period as valuations are finalized. As a result, the Acquisition accounting is not complete and additional information that existed at the Acquisition Date may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period. As of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company is still in the process of valuing the assets acquired of Hittite's business, including inventory, fixed assets, deferred taxes and intangible assets.

(a)	The fair value of accounts receivable was $37.0 million, with the gross contractual amount being $37.3 million, of which the Company estimates that $0.3 million is uncollectible.

Of the $666.4 million of acquired intangible assets, $0.9 million was recorded as in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets at estimated fair value on the Acquisition Date. The IPR&D assets acquired are being capitalized until the technology is commercially available for their intended uses at which point the assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The amortizable intangible assets acquired consisted of the following, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.



	Fair Value (in thousands)		Weighted Average Useful Lives (in Years)
Technology-based	$	15,100	4
Backlog	25,500		1
Customer relationships	624,900		9
Total amortizable intangible assets	$	665,500	9

The goodwill recognized is attributable to synergies which are expected to enhance and expand the Company’s overall product portfolio and opportunities in new markets, future technologies that have yet to be determined and Hittite’s assembled workforce. Future technologies do not meet the criteria for recognition separately from goodwill because they are part of future development and growth of the business. This acquisition resulted in the creation of a new operating segment. The Company continues to operate and track its results in one reportable segment based on the aggregation of six operating segments. See Note 4, Industry, Segment and Geographic Information.

There were no significant contingencies assumed as part of the Acquisition.

The Company recognized $41.2 million of transaction-related costs, including legal, accounting, severance, debt financing, interest and other related fees that were expensed in fiscal 2014. Approximately $33.3 million of these costs are included in the consolidated statements of income in operating expenses within SMG&A expenses and approximately $7.9 million are in the consolidated statements of income within nonoperating expenses. The Company may incur additional transaction-related costs within the next twelve months related to the Acquisition that will be expensed as incurred.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information presents the Company's combined results of operations after giving effect to the Acquisition and assumes that the Acquisition, which closed on July 22, 2014, was completed on November 4, 2012 (the first day of the Company’s 2013 fiscal year). The pro forma consolidated financial information has been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and includes adjustments for amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, transaction-related costs, a step-up in the value of acquired inventory and property, plant and equipment, and interest expense for the debt incurred to fund the Acquisition, together with the consequential tax effects. These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the operating results of the Company that would have been achieved had the Acquisition actually taken place on November 4, 2012. In addition, these results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect events that may occur after the Acquisition, including but not limited to revenue enhancements, cost savings or operating synergies that the combined Company may achieve as a result of the Acquisition.

Metroic Limited

On September 19, 2014, the Company, through Analog Devices Limited (ADL), its wholly-owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of all the outstanding share capital of Metroic Limited (Metroic), a developing-stage start-up company with five employees located in Edinburgh, UK. The acquisition of Metroic is expected to help the Company to expand its energy-metering product portfolio to offer system health capabilities such as measurement accuracy, self-monitoring and enhanced tamper detection. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $4.7 million, which consisted of $2.3 million in initial cash payments at closing, an additional $0.5 million holdback for post-closing working capital adjustment and other items and the estimated fair value of contingent consideration of $1.9 million. The contingent consideration arrangement requires additional cash payments to the former equity holders of Metroic upon the achievement of certain technological and product development milestones through December 31, 2018. As of November 1, 2014, the Company had not made any contingent consideration payments. In addition, the Company may be obligated to pay up to an additional $2.2 million in deferred compensation expense relating to future product development and sales through December 31, 2018. The Company’s assessment of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition as well as consideration for a pre-existing license arrangement with Metroic, resulting in the recognition of $4.4 million of IPR&D, $1.3 million of goodwill, $0.8 million of net deferred tax liabilities and other immaterial net working capital balances. The goodwill recognized is attributable to future technologies that have yet to be determined as well as the assembled workforce of Metroic. Future technologies do not meet the criteria for recognition separately from goodwill because they are a part of future development and growth of the business. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company recognized approximately $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in fiscal 2014, which were included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

Multigig, Inc.

On March 30, 2012, the Company acquired privately-held Multigig, Inc. (Multigig) of San Jose, California in order to help enhance the Company’s clocking capabilities in stand-alone and embedded applications and strengthen the Company’s high speed signal processing solutions. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $26.8 million, which consisted of $24.2 million in initial cash payments at closing and an additional $2.6 million subject to an indemnification holdback that was payable within 15 months of the transaction date. During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reduced this holdback amount by $0.1 million as a result of indemnification claims. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company paid the remaining $2.5 million due under the holdback. The Company’s assessment of fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, resulting in the recognition of $15.6 million of IPR&D, $1.1 million of developed technology, $7.0 million of goodwill and $3.1 million of net deferred tax assets. The goodwill recognized is attributable to future technologies that have yet to be determined as well as the assembled workforce of Multigig. Future technologies do not meet the criteria for recognition separately from goodwill because they are a part of future development and growth of the business. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company finalized its purchase accounting for Multigig which resulted in adjustments of $0.4 million to deferred taxes and goodwill. In addition, the Company will be obligated to pay royalties to the Multigig employees on revenue recognized from the sale of certain Multigig products through the earlier of 5 years or the aggregate maximum payment of $1.0 million. Royalty payments to Multigig employees require post-acquisition services to be rendered and, as such, the Company will record these amounts as compensation expense in the related periods. As of November 1, 2014, no royalty payments have been made. The Company recognized $0.5 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in fiscal 2012, which were included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

Lyric Semiconductor, Inc.

On June 9, 2011, the Company acquired privately-held Lyric Semiconductor, Inc. (Lyric) of Cambridge, Massachusetts. in order to help the Company achieve significant improvement in power efficiency in mixed signal processing. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $27.8 million, which consisted of $14.0 million in initial cash payments at closing and contingent consideration of up to $13.8 million. The contingent consideration arrangement requires additional cash payments to the former equity holders of Lyric upon the achievement of certain technological and product development milestones payable during the period from June 2011 through June 2016. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement utilizing the income approach. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date primarily driven by assumptions pertaining to the achievement of the defined milestones will be recognized in operating income in the period of the estimated fair value change. As of November 1, 2014, the Company had paid $12.0 million in contingent consideration. These payments are reflected in the statements of cash flows as cash used in financing activities related to the liability recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and cash provided by operating activities related to the fair value adjustments previously recognized in earnings. The Company’s assessment of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, resulting in the recognition of $12.2 million of IPR&D, $18.9 million of goodwill and $3.3 million of net deferred tax liabilities. The goodwill recognized is attributable to future technologies that have yet to be determined as well as the assembled workforce of Lyric. Future technologies do not meet the criteria for recognition separately from goodwill because they are a part of future development and growth of the business. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was approximately $2.9 million as of November 1, 2014, all of which is included in accrued liabilities consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company will be obligated to pay royalties to the former equity holders of Lyric on revenue recognized from the sale of Lyric products and licenses through the earlier of 20 years or the accrual of a maximum of $25.0 million. Royalty payments to Lyric employees require post-acquisition services to be rendered and, as such, the Company will record these amounts as compensation expense in the related periods. As of November 1, 2014, an immaterial amount of royalty payments have been made. The Company recognized $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in fiscal 2011, which were included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

The Company has not provided pro forma results of operations for Metroic, Multigig and Lyric herein as they were not material to the Company on either an individual or an aggregate basis. The Company included the results of operations of each acquisition in its consolidated statement of income from the date of each acquisition.
