Business Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

On November 1, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of ProcureAbility Inc. (“ProcureAbility”) for approximately $60 million in cash. ProcureAbility is a procurement services provider specializing in technology-enabled advisory, managed services, digital, staffing, and recruiting solutions.

The acquisition of ProcureAbility was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired of $87 million, including $40 million in intangible assets and $38 million in goodwill, and liabilities assumed of $26 million were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The preliminary estimates and measurements are subject to change during the measurement period for assets acquired, liabilities assumed and tax adjustments. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was recorded to goodwill and was fully allocated to the DMS segment. The majority of the goodwill is currently not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results beginning on November 1, 2023. Pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisition of ProcureAbility is not deemed to be significant.

Divestitures

The Company announced on September 26, 2023 that, through its indirect subsidiary, Jabil Circuit (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private limited company (“Singapore Seller”), it agreed to sell to an affiliate of BYD Electronic (International) Co. Ltd., a Hong Kong limited liability company (“Purchaser” or “BYDE”), its product manufacturing business in Chengdu, including its supporting component manufacturing in Wuxi (the “Business”) for cash consideration of approximately $2.2 billion, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments.

As of August 31, 2023, the Company determined the Business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Accordingly, the Company presented the assets and liabilities of the Business as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale had a carrying value less than the estimated fair value less cost to sell and, thus, no adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group was necessary. Depreciation and amortization expense for long-lived assets was not recorded for the period in which these assets were classified as held for sale. The divestiture did not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations and the Company continued to report the operating results for the Business in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the DMS segment until the Closing Date.

On December 29, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the sale. As a result of the transaction, the Company derecognized net assets of approximately $1.2 billion, and recorded a pre-tax gain of $944 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments that are still being finalized. In addition, the Company agreed to indemnify the Purchaser from certain liabilities that may arise post-close that relate to periods prior to the Closing Date. The Company incurred transaction and disposal costs in connection with the sale of approximately $64 million during the nine months ended May 31, 2024, which are included in continuing operations in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company performs a goodwill impairment analysis on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended February 29, 2024, the Company completed an impairment analysis for goodwill recorded within the reporting unit impacted by the divestiture of the Business. The quantitative assessment was used, and the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the impacted reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value and that no impairment existed subsequent to the closing of the Business. The Company allocated goodwill to the disposal group based on the relative fair value of the Business as compared to the impacted reporting unit.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 and in connection with the divestiture of the Business, the Company made a strategic decision that the indefinite-lived (“Green Point”) trade name valued at $51 million acquired during the acquisition of Green Point should no longer be classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Accordingly, prior to reclassifying the trade name to a finite-lived intangible asset, the Company completed a quantitative assessment for impairment and determined the fair value of the asset exceeded the carrying value. As such, the trade name was assigned a two-year estimated useful life and is being amortized on a straight-line basis as of the Closing Date.
