7. Business Combinations


Mailchimp

On November 1, 2021, we acquired all of the outstanding equity of Mailchimp, a global customer engagement and marketing platform for growing small and mid-market businesses. We acquired Mailchimp to help deliver on the vision of an innovative, end-to-end customer growth platform for small and mid-market businesses. Mailchimp is part of our Small Business & Self-Employed segment. We have included the financial results of Mailchimp in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma information related to this acquisition has not been presented, as the effect of the acquisition on our consolidated results of operations was not material. Our results of operations for the twelve months ended July 31, 2022 included $762 million of revenue attributable to Mailchimp. For the twelve months ended July 31, 2022, we recorded professional fees associated with the acquisition of $63 million in general and administrative expenses.

The fair value of the purchase consideration totaled $12.0 billion, which included $5.7 billion in cash and 10.1 million shares of Intuit common stock with a value of approximately $6.3 billion. The fair value of the stock consideration is based on the October 29, 2021 closing price of Intuit common stock of $625.99.

Pursuant to the equity purchase agreement, we also issued approximately 583,000 RSUs in substitution of outstanding equity incentive awards. These RSUs have a grant date fair value of $355 million and will be expensed over three years. Additionally, we issued approximately 325,000 RSUs with a total grant date fair value of $211 million to Mailchimp employees, of which $151 million will be expensed over four years and $60 million was expensed during the first six months following the acquisition date.

The allocation of the Mailchimp purchase price is as follows:


(In millions)	Amount
Cash and cash equivalents	$	42
Investments	126
Accounts receivable, net	25
Income taxes receivable	1
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	24
Long-term investments	1
Property and equipment, net	15
Operating lease right-of-use assets	31
Goodwill	8,102
Intangible assets	4,340
Long-term deferred income tax assets	6
Other assets	1
Accounts payable	(163)
Accrued compensation and related liabilities	(409)
Deferred revenue	(52)
Other current liabilities	(69)
Long-term portion of operating lease liabilities	(20)

Other long-term obligations	(5)
Total purchase price allocation	$	11,996

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributed to the assembled workforce of Mailchimp and the synergies expected to be achieved. This goodwill is assigned to the Small Business & Self-Employed segment and substantially all is deductible for income tax purposes. We completed the purchase price allocation for the Mailchimp acquisition during the second quarter of fiscal 2023, with no material adjustments to our preliminary purchase price allocation.

Intangible assets consist of customer lists, purchased technology, and trade names/trademarks. We amortize purchased intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. The weighted-average life of the total acquired identifiable intangible assets is 12.0 years. The following table presents the details of identifiable intangible assets acquired.


(In millions, except years)	Estimated Useful Life	Amount
Customer lists	13 years	$	3,160
Purchased technology	9 years	900
Trade names/trademarks	10 years	280
Total identifiable intangible assets		$	4,340
