Business Combinations

Kinvey Acquisition

On June 1, 2017, we acquired by merger 100% of the outstanding securities of Kinvey for an aggregate sum of $49.2 million, which includes approximately $0.3 million held-back from the founder of Kinvey as an incentive to remain with the Company for at least two years following the acquisition. The $0.3 million held-back is being recorded to expense over the service period. Kinvey is a privately-held company providing Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS), which allows developers to set up, use, and operate a cloud backend for any native, hybrid, web, or IoT app built using any development tools. This acquisition, in combination with our existing frontend technologies, cognitive capabilities from DataRPM, our strong business logic and rules capabilities, and our strong data connectivity technologies, enables us to offer a premier platform for building and delivering cognitive business applications. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, the results of operations of Kinvey are included in our operating results as part of the OpenEdge business segment from the date of acquisition. We paid the purchase price in cash from available funds.

The total consideration, less the $0.3 million held-back discussed above, which is considered to be a compensation arrangement, was allocated to Kinvey's tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the total consideration, less the amount held-back from the founder, over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 upon the finalization of our valuation of identifiable intangible assets and deferred taxes.

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



	Total			Life
Net working capital	$	(963	)
Property, plant and equipment	26
Purchased technology	22,100			5 Years
Trade name	1,800			5 Years
Customer relationships	100			5 Years
Net deferred tax assets	1,465
Goodwill	24,351
Net assets acquired	$	48,879

Deferred taxes include deferred tax liabilities resulting from the tax effects of fair value adjustments related to identifiable intangible assets, which are more than offset by the value of deferred tax assets acquired from Kinvey. Tangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities were recorded at fair value.

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 $24.4 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration paid, but are required to be expensed as incurred. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017, we incurred approximately $1.1 million of acquisition-related costs, which are included in acquisition-related expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.

We have not disclosed the amount of revenues and earnings of Kinvey since acquisition, nor pro forma financial information, as those amounts are not significant to our consolidated financial statements.

DataRPM Acquisition

On March 1, 2017, we acquired by merger 100% of the outstanding securities of DataRPM for an aggregate sum of $30.0 million. Approximately $1.7 million of the purchase price was paid to DataRPM’s founders in the form of restricted stock units, subject to a two-year vesting schedule and continued employment. DataRPM is a privately-held company and leader in cognitive predictive maintenance for the industrial IoT (IIoT) market. This acquisition is a key part of the Company's strategy to provide the best platform to build and deliver cognitive-first applications. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, the results of operations of DataRPM are included in our operating results as part of the OpenEdge business segment from the date of acquisition. We paid the purchase price in cash from available funds.

The total consideration, less the fair value of the granted restricted stock units discussed above, which are considered compensation arrangements, was allocated to DataRPM’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. 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 allocation of the purchase price was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 upon the finalization of our valuation of identifiable intangible assets and deferred taxes.

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



	Total			Life
Net working capital	$	(174	)
Property, plant and equipment	68
Purchased technology	19,900			5 Years
Trade name	800			5 Years
Customer relationships	100			5 Years
Deferred taxes	(5,006		)
Goodwill	12,583
Net assets acquired	$	28,271

Deferred taxes include deferred tax liabilities resulting from the tax effects of fair value adjustments related to identifiable intangible assets, partially offset by the fair value of deferred tax assets acquired from DataRPM. Tangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities were recorded at fair value.

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 $12.6 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

As discussed above, approximately $1.7 million of the total consideration was paid to DataRPM’s founders in restricted stock units, subject to a vesting schedule and continued employment. We concluded that the restricted stock units are compensation arrangements and we are recognizing stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the vesting schedule over the service period of the awards, which is 2 years. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017, we incurred $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense related to these restricted stock units, which is included in operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.

Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration transferred, but are required to be expensed as incurred. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017, we incurred approximately $0.4 million of acquisition-related costs, which are included in acquisition-related expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.

We have not disclosed the amount of revenues and earnings of DataRPM since acquisition, nor pro forma financial information, as those amounts are not significant to our consolidated financial statements.

Telerik Acquisition

On December 2, 2014, we 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. In accordance with the agreement, the full amount of the escrow was released to the former equity holders in June 2016.

We funded the acquisition through a combination of existing cash resources and a term loan.

The total consideration, less the fair value of the granted restricted stock units discussed above, which were considered compensation arrangements, was allocated to Telerik’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. 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 allocation of the purchase price was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 upon the finalization of our valuation of identifiable intangible assets.

The following table discloses the net assets acquired in the business combination (in thousands):



	Total			Weighted Average Life
Net working capital	$	8,222
Property, plant and equipment	3,078
Identifiable intangible assets	123,100			5 years
Deferred taxes	(9,272		)
Deferred revenue	(7,915		)
Other non-current liabilities	(2,732		)
Goodwill	137,472
Net assets acquired	$	251,953

The fair value of the intangible assets was 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 valuation, the acquired intangible assets are comprised of purchased technology of approximately $64.8 million, customer-related of approximately $47.1 million, and trademarks and trade names of approximately $11.2 million.

We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. Upon completion of the acquisition, we believed that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition had principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $137.5 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

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 fiscal years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred approximately $1.1 million and $3.7 million of acquisition-related costs, respectively, which are included in acquisition-related expenses in our consolidated statement of operations. There were no additional acquisition-related expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017.

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 1 year following the acquisition. We concluded that the retention bonuses for these individuals, which totaled approximately $2.2 million, were compensation arrangements and recognized these costs over the one-year service period. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015, we incurred $2.2 million of expense related to the retention bonuses, which are included in the acquisition-related expenses in our consolidated statement of operations discussed above. There were no additional expenses related to the retention bonuses incurred during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2016 and 2017 as the entire amount accrued during fiscal year 2015 was paid in December 2015.

The operations of Telerik and the related goodwill are included in our operating results as part of the Application Development and Deployment segment from the date of acquisition. The amount of revenue of Telerik included in our consolidated statement of operations during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $75.3 million, $75.3 million, and $41.8 million, respectively. The revenue of Telerik products and maintenance is primarily recognized ratably over the maintenance period, which is generally one year, as VSOE of fair value cannot be established for such maintenance. The amount of pretax losses of Telerik included in our consolidated statement of operations during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 were $12.3 million, $32.2 million, and $54.1 million, respectively. The pretax losses include the amortization expense for fiscal years 2017, 2016, and 2015 of approximately $24.6 million related to the acquired intangible assets discussed above.

Pro Forma Information (Unaudited)

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.
