Business Combinations [Abstract] |
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS | NOTE 7 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Nuance Communications, Inc. On March 4, 2022, we completed our acquisition of Nuance Communications, Inc. (“Nuance”) for a total purchase price of $18.8 billion, consisting primarily of cash. Nuance is a cloud and artificial intelligence (“AI”) software provider with healthcare and enterprise AI experience, and the acquisition will build on our industry-specific cloud offerings. The financial results of Nuance have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. Nuance is reported as part of our Intelligent Cloud segment. The purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition was based on a preliminary valuation and is subject to revision as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed becomes available. The major classes of assets and liabilities to which we have preliminarily allocated the purchase price were as follows:
(In millions) |  |  |  |
Goodwill (a) |  |  | $ | 16,329 |
Intangible assets |  |  |  | 4,365 |
Other assets |  |  |  | 42 |
Other liabilities (b) |  |  |  | (1,973 | )
Total |  |  | $ | 18,763 |
(a) | Goodwill was assigned to our Intelligent Cloud segment and was primarily attributed to increased synergies that are expected to be achieved from the integration of Nuance. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
(b) | Includes $986 million of convertible senior notes issued by Nuance in 2015 and 2017, of which $985 million was redeemed as of September 30, 2022.
Following are the details of the purchase price allocated to the intangible assets acquired:
(In millions, except average life) |  | Amount |  |  | Weighted Average Life |
Customer-related |  | $ | 2,610 |  |  | 9 years |
Technology-based |  |  | 1,540 |  |  | 5 years |
Marketing-related |  |  | 215 |  |  | 4 years |
Total |  | $ | 4,365 |  |  | 7 years |
