Acquisitions | Acquisitions 2024 Acquisitions In October 2023, we acquired Clearpath Robotics, Inc., including its industrial division OTTO Motors (Clearpath), a company that specializes in autonomous robotics for industrial applications, headquartered in Ontario, Canada. We recorded assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with this acquisition based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date of October 2, 2023. The aggregate purchase price allocation is as follows (in millions):
|  | Purchase Price Allocation
Receivables |  | $ | 8.1 |
Inventory |  | 22.0 |
Goodwill |  | 283.1 |
Intangible assets |  | 313.4 |
All other assets |  | 10.2 |
Total assets acquired |  | 636.8 |
Less: Deferred tax liability |  | (9.2) |
Less: Liabilities assumed |  | (18.6) |
Net assets acquired |  | $ | 609.0 |
|  | Purchase Consideration
Cash consideration, net of cash acquired |  | $ | 566.0 |
Contingent consideration |  | 43.0 |
Total purchase consideration, net of cash acquired |  | $ | 609.0 |
Intangible assets identified include $269.9 million of technology, $41.6 million of trademarks, and $1.9 million of customer relationships. We assigned the full amount of goodwill and all other assets acquired to our Intelligent Devices segment. The goodwill recorded represents intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. This goodwill arises because the purchase price for Clearpath reflects a number of factors including the future earnings and cash flow potential for the business and resulting synergies from the business portfolio and industry expertise. We do not expect the goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets were valued using an income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method and multi-period excess earnings method. The relief from royalty method calculates value based on hypothetical payments that would be saved by owning an asset rather than licensing it. The multi-period excess earnings method is the isolation of cash flows from a single intangible asset and measures fair value by discounting them to present value. These values are considered level 3 measurements under the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 1 for further information regarding levels in the fair value hierarchy. The key assumption requiring the use of judgement in the valuation of the technology asset was the obsolescence factor, where we estimated a phase out over 12 years; other assumptions included forecasted revenue growth rates and margin and the discount rate. The key assumption requiring the use of judgement in the valuation of the trademarks asset was the weighted average royalty rate of 2.05 percent; other assumptions included forecasted revenue growth rates and the discount rate. The purchase price included up to $50 million in contingent consideration that can be earned by sellers if Clearpath achieves revenue targets that it had established prior to the acquisition in two performance periods ending February 29, 2024, and February 28, 2025. We developed various risk-based scenarios and a probability outcome model to measure the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is considered a level 3 measurement under the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. We determined the fair value to be $43 million as of the acquisition date and as of December 31, 2023. We updated the fair value measures during the second quarter to reflect actual contingent consideration earned during the first performance period. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we assessed the probability outcome model for the second performance period and determined that the fair value was $4.5 million as of September 30, 2024. The following table presents the fair value of the contingent consideration in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (in millions):
|  | Period ended February 29, 2024 |  | Period ended February 28, 2025 |  | Total
Contingent consideration as of December 31, 2023 |  | $ | 17.5 |  |  | $ | 25.5 |  |  | $ | 43.0 |
Adjustment for earnout achieved for first performance period |  | (7.7) |  |  | — |  |  | (7.7) |
Adjustment to fair value |  | — |  |  | (21.0) |  |  | (21.0) |
Payment of earnout achieved for first performance period |  | (9.8) |  |  | — |  |  | (9.8) |
Contingent consideration as of September 30, 2024 |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 4.5 |  |  | $ | 4.5 |
The consideration for the amount earned for the first performance period was paid during the third quarter of 2024. The contingent consideration for the second performance period is included in Other current liabilities at September 30, 2024. Any amount earned for the second performance period will be paid during the third quarter of 2025. The $28.7 million net reduction in the fair value of total contingent consideration is reported in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2024. In November 2023, we acquired Verve Industrial Protection (Verve), a cybersecurity software and services company that focuses specifically on industrial environments. We recorded assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with this acquisition based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date of November 1, 2023.

Intangible assets |  | 47.2 |
All other assets |  | 0.7 |
