Silvus Acquisition
On August 6, 2025, the Company acquired Silvus from Silvus Technologies Group LLC (the "Seller"). Silvus designs and develops software-defined high-speed MANET technology that enables highly secure data, video and voice communications without the need for fixed infrastructure. This acquisition brings mobile ad-hoc network expertise and new applications to the Company's public safety and enterprise portfolio. The purchase price of $4.4 billion consisted of cash payments of $4.4 billion, net of cash acquired and customary purchase price adjustments, and contingent earnout consideration that had an estimated fair value as of the acquisition date of $38 million.
Under the terms of the transaction, the Seller will have the potential to earn the contingent earnout consideration upon the achievement of certain financial targets of up to $600 million in total comprised of up to $150 million for the annual period from July 5, 2026 through July 3, 2027 and up to $450 million for the annual period from July 4, 2027 through July 1, 2028 (with the potential to earn a catch-up earnout consideration based on performance in the annual period from July 4, 2027 through July 1, 2028 if the maximum earnout for the annual period from July 5, 2026 through July 3, 2027 is not earned). The contingent earnout consideration, if any, will be paid in shares of common stock. The Company valued the contingent earnout consideration using a Monte Carlo methodology which resulted in the Company recognizing $38 million in purchase consideration at the date of close in Other liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contingent earnout consideration will continue to be valued at fair value throughout the earnout term and until paid. Changes to the fair value of the contingent earnout consideration will be recorded as a component of operating income within Other income, net in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company recognized goodwill of $3.0 billion which was allocated primarily to the Products and Systems Integration segment. In addition, the Company recognized $1.8 billion of intangible assets and $387 million of net liabilities, inclusive of $438 million of deferred tax liabilities and $51 million of net tangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized including future customer relationships, new technology and the assembled workforce. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
The identifiable intangible assets were classified as $135 million of trade names, $790 million of customer relationships and $910 million of developed technology which will be amortized over a period of twelve, twelve and eight years, respectively. The fair values of all intangible assets were estimated using the income approach. Customer relationships was valued under the excess earnings method, which assumes that the value of intangible assets is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable specifically to the intangible assets. Developed technology and trade names were valued under the relief from royalty method, which assumes value to the extent that the acquired company is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them.
This business is part of both the Products and Systems Integration segment and the Software and Services segment. The purchase accounting is not yet complete and as such, the final allocation among income tax accounts, intangible assets, net tangible assets and goodwill may be subject to change.
