ShareFile Acquisition

On October 31, 2024, we completed the acquisition of ShareFile from Cloud for an aggregate purchase price of $875.0 million in cash, subject to a $25.0 million working capital credit and certain customary adjustments. We funded the acquisition through $730.0 million in borrowings under our existing $900.0 million revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Refer to Note 8: Debt for further information.

The acquisition consideration for ShareFile has been preliminarily allocated to ShareFile’s assets and assumed liabilities based on 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, which is up to one year from the acquisition date.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

(in thousands)Preliminary Purchase Price AllocationLife
Net working capital$892 
Property, plant and equipment54 
Purchased technology119,000 7 years
Trade name27,000 7 years
Customer relationships319,000 7 years
Deferred taxes23,456 
Deferred revenue(96,159)
Goodwill459,459 
Net assets acquired$852,702 

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 used to value the acquisition, 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. The valuation assumptions take into consideration our estimates of customer attrition, technology obsolescence, and revenue growth projections.

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 $459.5 million of goodwill, of which a portion is 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 year ended November 30, 2024, we incurred approximately $15.6 million of acquisition-related costs, which are included in acquisition-related expenses on our consolidated statement of operations.

The amount of revenue of ShareFile included in our consolidated statement of operations during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024, was approximately $21.1 million. We determined that disclosing the amount of ShareFile related earnings included in the consolidated statement of operations is impracticable, as certain operations of ShareFile were integrated into the operations of the Company from the date of acquisition.

In connection and concurrent with the ShareFile acquisition, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") with Cloud for a period of six months from the date of acquisition, with the option to extend the TSA beyond this period for certain services. Expenses related to the TSA are not expected to be significant.

Pro Forma Information

The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Progress and ShareFile as if the acquisition had occurred on December 1, 2022, after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the ShareFile acquisition and factually supportable. These pro forma adjustments include: (i) a net increase in amortization expense to record amortization expense relating to the $465.0 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets, (ii) an increase in interest expense to record interest for the periods presented as a result of drawing down our revolving line of credit in connection with the acquisition, (iii) an increase in acquisition-related expenses in connection with the acquisition that were not included in the purchase price, (iv) additional expense related to the TSA entered into between Progress and Cloud, and (v) the income tax effect of the adjustments made at the statutory tax rate of the U.S. (approximately 24.0%).

The pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated expense savings 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, 2022.

MarkLogic Acquisition

On February 7, 2023, we completed the acquisition of the parent company of MarkLogic Corporation ("MarkLogic"), pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of January 3, 2023. The acquisition was completed for a base purchase price of $355.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments, in cash.

The acquisition consideration for MarkLogic has been allocated to MarkLogic’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The excess of total consideration over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill.

During the first fiscal quarter of 2024, the measurement period adjustments were completed, which resulted in a $0.7 million increase in goodwill primarily related to net working capital adjustments, as compared to the amounts previously reported. The purchase price allocation is now complete.
The allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

(in thousands)Purchase Price AllocationLife
Net working capital$46,335

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 used to value the acquisition, 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. The valuation assumptions take into consideration our estimates of customer attrition, technology obsolescence, and revenue growth projections.

Tangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities were recorded at fair value. We determined the acquisition date deferred revenue balances based on our assessment of the individual contracts acquired. A significant portion of the deferred revenue was 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 $161.8 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.

We determined that disclosing the amount of MarkLogic related earnings included in the consolidated statement of operations is impracticable, as certain operations of MarkLogic were integrated into the operations of the Company from the date of acquisition.

The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Progress and MarkLogic as if the acquisition had occurred on December 1, 2021, after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the MarkLogic acquisition and factually supportable. These pro forma adjustments include: (i) a net increase in amortization expense to record amortization expense relating to the $232.1 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets, (ii) an increase in interest expense to record interest for the period presented as a result of drawing down our revolving line of credit in connection with the acquisition, and (iii) the income tax effect of the adjustments made at the statutory tax rate of the U.S. (approximately 24.5%).
