Business Combinations [Abstract] |
ACQUISITIONS AND STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS | NOTE B – ACQUISITIONS AND STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the operating results for acquired entities from the respective dates of acquisition. We have not presented supplemental pro forma financial information for completed acquisitions or divestitures given their results are not material to our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Further, transaction costs were immaterial to our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and were expensed as incurred. On June 18, 2024, we announced our entry into a definitive agreement to acquire 100 percent of Silk Road Medical, Inc. (Silk Road Medical), a publicly traded medical device company that has developed an innovative platform of products to prevent stroke in patients with carotid artery disease through a minimally invasive procedure called transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR). The purchase price is $27.50 in cash per share, or approximately $1.260 billion for 100% of the fully diluted equity. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. The Silk Road Medical business will be integrated into our Peripheral Interventions division. On January 8, 2024, we announced our entry into a definitive agreement to acquire 100 percent of Axonics, Inc. (Axonics), a publicly traded medical technology company primarily focused on the development and commercialization of devices to treat urinary and bowel dysfunction. The purchase price is $71.00 in cash per share, or approximately $3.670 billion for 100% of the fully diluted equity. On April 3, 2024, we and Axonics each received a request for additional information (Second Request) from the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in connection with the FTC's review of the transaction. The issuance of the Second Request extends the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (HSR Act), until 30 days after both we and Axonics have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated earlier by the FTC. We and Axonics are responding to the Second Request and continue to work cooperatively with the FTC in its review. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024, subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the satisfaction (or waiver) of other customary closing conditions. The Axonics business will be integrated into our Urology division. 2023 Acquisitions On April 4, 2023, we completed our acquisition of 100 percent of the outstanding equity of Apollo Endosurgery, Inc. (Apollo), a public company which offers a portfolio of devices used during endoluminal procedures to close gastrointestinal defects, manage gastrointestinal complications and aid in weight loss for patients suffering from obesity. The transaction consisted of an upfront cash payment of $636 million, net of cash acquired. The Apollo business is being integrated into our Endoscopy division. On February 20, 2023, we completed the acquisition of a majority stake investment in Acotec Scientific Holdings Limited (Acotec), a publicly traded Chinese manufacturer of drug-coated balloons and other products used in the treatment of vascular and other diseases. We consolidated this majority stake investment in Acotec based on the conclusion we control the entity, and recorded a noncontrolling interest for the portion we do not own. We acquired approximately 65 percent of the outstanding shares of Acotec, for an upfront cash payment of HK$20.00 per share, or $519 million at foreign currency exchange rates at closing. The Acotec portfolio complements our existing Peripheral Interventions portfolio. Purchase Price Allocation We accounted for these transactions as business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations (FASB ASC Topic 805). The final purchase prices were comprised of the amounts presented below:
(in millions) | Acotec(1) | Apollo |  |
Payment for acquisition, net of cash acquired(2) | $ | 381 |  | $ | 636 |  |  |
| $ | 381 |  | $ | 636 |  |  |
(1) Excludes approximately $140 million of cash on hand at the closing of the transaction (2) Related to Acotec, represents our majority stake investment We recorded the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and specific to Acotec, the noncontrolling interest, at their respective fair values as of the closing date of the transaction. The final purchase price allocations were comprised of the components presented below, with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired recorded to goodwill:
(in millions) | Acotec | Apollo |
Goodwill | $ | 337 |  | $ | 378 |  |
Amortizable intangible assets | 334 |  | 248 |  |
Other assets acquired | 93 |  | 50 |  |
Liabilities assumed | (48) |  | (33) |  |
Net deferred tax liabilities | (76) |  | (5) |  |
Fair value of noncontrolling interest | (259) |  | — |  |
| $ | 381 |  | $ | 636 |  |
The fair value of Acotec's noncontrolling interest was based on the publicly traded market value of the remaining 35 percent of the outstanding shares we did not acquire as of the transaction date and is presented in Stockholders' equity within our accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Goodwill was primarily established for Acotec due to opportunities for collaboration in research and development, manufacturing and commercial strategies, and for Apollo, due to synergies expected to be gained from leveraging our existing operations, as well as revenue and cash flow projections associated with future technologies, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. We allocated a portion of the purchase price to the specific intangible asset categories as follows:
| Amount Assigned (in millions) |  | Weighted Average Amortization Period (in years) |  | Risk-Adjusted Discount Rates used in Purchase Price Allocation
Acotec: |  |  |  |  |
Amortizable intangible assets: |  |  |  |  |
Technology-related | $ | 308 |  |  | 11 |  | 14%
Customer relationships | 15 |  |  | 11 |  | 14%
Other intangible assets | 11 |  |  | 13 |  | 14%
| $ | 334 |  |  |  |  |
Apollo: |  |  |  |  |
Amortizable intangible assets: |  |  |  |  |
Technology-related | $ | 222 |  |  | 11 |  | 12%
Customer relationships | 26 |  |  | 11 |  | 12%
| $ | 248 |  |  |  |  |
Contingent Consideration Changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration liability during the first six months of 2024 associated with prior period acquisitions were as follows:
(in millions) |
Balance as of December 31, 2023 | $ | 404 |
Amount recorded related to current year acquisitions | 29 |
Contingent consideration net expense (benefit) | 18 |
Contingent consideration payments and other adjustments | (158) |
Balance as of June 30, 2024 | $ | 293 |
The payments made during the first six months of 2024 primarily related to our acquisition of Farapulse, Inc. (Farapulse) following the achievement of revenue-based earnouts as a result of over-performance. The maximum amount we could be required to pay for certain contingent consideration is not determinable as it is uncapped and based on a percent of certain sales. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of such uncapped contingent consideration is estimated at $163 million. As of June 30, 2024, the maximum amount that we could be required to pay under our other contingent consideration arrangements (undiscounted) is approximately $320 million. Refer to Note B – Acquisitions and Strategic Investments to our audited financial statements contained in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. The recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of our contingent consideration liability that we expect to be required to settle include the following significant unobservable inputs:
Contingent Consideration Liability | Fair Value as of June 30, 2024 | Valuation Technique | Unobservable Input | Range | Weighted Average(1) |  |
Revenue-based Payments and Milestones | $293 million | Discounted Cash Flow | Discount Rate | 6% | - | 15% | 7% |  |
Probability of Payment | 90% | - | 100% | 99% |  |
Projected Year of Payment | 2024 | - | 2029 | 2027 |  |
(1) Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the contingent consideration liability. For projected year of payment, the amount represents the median of the inputs and is not a weighted average. Projected contingent payment amounts related to our revenue-based payments and milestones are discounted back to the current period, primarily using a discounted cash flow model. Significant increases or decreases in projected revenues, probabilities of payment, discount rates or the time until payment is made would have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement as of June 30, 2024. Strategic Investments The aggregate carrying amount of our strategic investments was comprised of the following:
| As of
(in millions) | June 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Equity method investments | $ | 207 |  |  | $ | 219 |
Measurement alternative investments(1, 2) | 243 |  |  | 194 |
| $ | 450 |  |  | $ | 413 |
(1) Measurement alternative investments are privately-held equity securities without readily determinable fair values that are measured at cost less impairment, if any, adjusted to fair value for any observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, recognized in Other, net within our accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. (2) Includes publicly-held securities and convertible notes measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in Other, net within our accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. These investments are classified as Other long-term assets within our accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets, in accordance with GAAP and our accounting policies. As of June 30, 2024, the cost of our aggregated equity method investments exceeded our share of the underlying equity in net assets by $233 million, which represents amortizable intangible assets, in-process research and development (IPR&D), goodwill and deferred tax liabilities.
