Telerik Acquisition

On December 2, 2014, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding securities of Telerik AD (Telerik), a leading provider of application development tools based in Sofia, Bulgaria, for total consideration of $262.5 million. Approximately $10.5 million of the total consideration was paid to Telerik’s founders and certain other key employees in restricted stock units, subject to a vesting schedule and continued employment. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, 10% of the total consideration was deposited into an escrow account to secure certain indemnification and other obligations of the sellers to Progress.

Through this acquisition, we now provide comprehensive cloud and on-premise platform offerings that enable developers to rapidly create applications, driven by data for any web, desktop or mobile platform. We funded the acquisition through a combination of existing cash resources and a $150 million term loan (Note 7).

The total consideration, less the fair value of the granted restricted stock units discussed above, which are considered compensation arrangements, has been allocated to Telerik’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The preliminary fair value estimates of the net assets acquired are based upon preliminary calculations and valuations, and those estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for those estimates during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The excess of the total consideration, less the fair value of the restricted stock units, over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):



	Total			Weighted Average Life
Net working capital	$	6,612
Property, plant and equipment	3,108
Identifiable intangible assets	123,100			5 years
Deferred taxes	(10,401		)
Deferred revenue	(7,915		)
Other non-current liabilities	(472		)
Goodwill	137,921
Net assets acquired	$	251,953

The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value. The cash flows are based on estimates prepared by management, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as the weighted average cost of capital. Based on the preliminary valuation, the acquired intangible assets are comprised of purchased technology of approximately $64.8 million, customer-related and other of approximately $47.1 million, and trademarks and trade names of approximately $11.2 million.

Deferred taxes include deferred tax liabilities resulting from the tax effects of fair value adjustments related to identifiable intangible assets and deferred revenue, partially offset by the fair value of deferred tax assets acquired from Telerik. Tangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities were recorded at fair value. The valuation of the assumed deferred revenue was based on our contractual commitment to provide post-contract customer support to Telerik customers and future contractual performance obligations under existing hosting arrangements. The fair value of this assumed liability was based on the estimated cost plus a reasonable margin to fulfill these service obligations. A significant portion of the deferred revenue is expected to be recognized in the 12 months following the acquisition.

We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $137.9 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

As discussed above, approximately $10.5 million of the total consideration was paid to Telerik’s founders and certain other key employees in restricted stock units, subject to a vesting schedule and continued employment. We concluded that the restricted stock units are compensation arrangements and we have been recognizing stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the vesting schedule over the service period of the awards, which is 2 years. We recorded $0.7 million and $2.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to these restricted stock units for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, respectively. This amount is recorded as operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) and certain acquisition restructuring and related charges are not included as a component of consideration transferred, but are required to be expensed as incurred. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, we incurred approximately $0.8 million and $2.7 million of acquisition-related costs, respectively, which are included in acquisition-related expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In connection with the acquisition of Telerik, we agreed to provide retention bonuses to certain Telerik employees as an incentive for those employees to remain with Telerik for at least one year following the acquisition. We concluded that the retention bonuses for these individuals, which total approximately $2.5 million, are compensation arrangements and we have been accruing the maximum payouts ratably over the one-year service period. We have incurred $0.6 million and $1.8 million of expense related to the retention bonuses for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, respectively, which are included in the acquisition-related expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations discussed above.

The operations of Telerik are included in our operating results as part of the Application Development and Deployment business unit from the date of acquisition. The amount of revenue of Telerik included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015 was approximately $12.5 million and $26.2 million, respectively. The amount of pretax losses of Telerik included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015 were approximately $4.0 million and $22.7 million, respectively. The revenue of Telerik is primarily being recognized ratably over the maintenance period, which is generally one year, as vendor specific objective evidence (or VSOE) of fair value cannot be established for such maintenance. The pretax loss does not include the amortization expense of approximately $18.5 million related to the acquired intangible assets discussed above as the intangible assets and related amortization were recorded by the acquiring entity.

Pro Forma Information

The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Progress and Telerik as if the acquisition had occurred on December 1, 2013 after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the Telerik acquisition and factually supportable. These pro forma adjustments include (i) a decrease in revenue from Telerik due to the beginning balance of deferred revenue being adjusted to reflect the fair value of the acquired balance, (ii) a net increase in amortization expense to eliminate historical amortization of Telerik intangible assets and to record amortization expense for the $123.1 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets, (iii) stock-based compensation expense relating to the consideration paid to Telerik’s founders and certain other key employees in restricted stock units, as discussed above, (iv) a net increase in interest expense to eliminate historical interest expense of Telerik as a result of the repayment of all Telerik outstanding debt in connection with the acquisition and to record interest expense for the period presented as a result of the new credit facility entered into by Progress in connection with the acquisition, (v) acquisition-related costs, including transaction costs incurred by Progress related to the accrual of retention bonuses discussed above, and (vi) the income tax effect of the adjustments made at either the statutory tax rate of Bulgaria (10%) or the statutory tax rate of the U.S. (approximately 37%) depending on which jurisdiction the adjustment impacts.

The pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated synergies resulting from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have actually occurred had the transaction been consummated on December 1, 2013.

BravePoint Acquisition

On October 1, 2014, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of BravePoint, Inc. (BravePoint) from Chesapeake Utilities Corporation in exchange for $12.0 million in cash. BravePoint is based in Norcross, Georgia and is a provider of OpenEdge consulting, training and application development services designed to increase customers' profitability and competitiveness through the use of technology. This acquisition significantly extends our services capabilities and enhances our ability to quickly enable our partners and customers to take greater advantage of new technologies. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, the results of operations of BravePoint are included in our operating results as part of the OpenEdge business unit from the date of acquisition. We paid the purchase price in cash from available funds.

The allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):



	Total			Weighted Average Life
Net working capital	$	2,902
Property and equipment	735
Other assets	16
Deferred revenue	(680		)
Customer-related and other	4,110			7 Years
Trade name	850			7 Years
Purchased technology	1,810			3 Years
Goodwill	2,257
Net assets acquired	$	12,000

We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $2.3 million of goodwill. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The allocation of the purchase price was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 upon the finalization of our valuation of identifiable intangible assets.

We incurred approximately $0.2 million and $1.1 million of acquisition-related costs during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, respectively, which are included in acquisition-related expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. We have not disclosed the amount of revenues and earnings of BravePoint since acquisition, nor pro forma financial information, as those amounts are not significant to our consolidated financial statements.

Modulus Acquisition

On May 13, 2014, we acquired 100% of the membership interests of Modulus LLC (Modulus), a privately held platform-as-a-service (PaaS) provider based in Cincinnati, Ohio, for $15.0 million. The purchase consideration consisted of $12.5 million in cash paid and $2.5 million of contingent consideration, payable over a two year period, if earned. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $1.5 million at the date of acquisition; as such, the fair value of the purchase consideration allocated to the assets acquired totaled $14.0 million. Note that the year one milestone was not achieved as of May 31, 2015, which was the end of the first milestone period, and we do not expect the year two milestone to be achieved by the end of the second milestone period on May 31, 2016 (Note 4).

Modulus provides a PaaS for easily hosting, deploying, scaling and monitoring data-intensive, real-time applications using powerful, rapidly growing Node.js and MongoDB technologies. The purpose of the acquisition is to capitalize on the expected market growth of the core technologies that Modulus supports and drive new revenue through our aPaaS platform. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, the results of operations of Modulus are included in our operating results from the date of acquisition. We paid the purchase price in cash from available funds.

The allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):



	Total		Weighted Average Life
Net working capital	$	7
Purchased technology	7,320		7 Years
Trade name	190		7 Years
Goodwill	6,433
Net assets acquired	$	13,950

We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $6.4 million of goodwill. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The allocation of the purchase price was completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 upon the finalization of our valuation of identifiable intangible assets.

We recorded credits of approximately $0.3 million and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, respectively, due to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration obligation, which is included in acquisition-related expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. We have not disclosed the amount of revenues and earnings of Modulus since acquisition, nor pro forma financial information, as those amounts are not significant to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
