Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions Fiscal 2023 Acquisitions The results of operations for the following acquisitions are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations since their respective acquisition dates. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions were not material to Autodesk’s Consolidated Financial Statements. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, Autodesk completed two business combinations. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $114 million, which consisted of $96 million of cash, 40 thousand shares of Autodesk’s restricted common stock at an aggregate fair value of $10 million, and Autodesk will issue a fixed amount of $5 million in common stock at future dates to certain employees. Of the total consideration transferred, $97 million is considered purchase consideration. Of the remaining amount, $10 million was recorded in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Long-term other assets” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to stock-based compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period, $5 million was accounted for as liability-classified awards and will be recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period and $2 million was recorded as stock-based compensation expense on the date of acquisition. The 40 thousand shares of restricted common stock are subject to forfeiture until the second anniversary of the acquisition closing date. The shares are released on the first and second anniversaries, 40% and 60%, respectively, subject to continued employment. Issuance of the $5 million fixed value in common stock is dependent on the respective employees’ continued employment and vests 40% and 60% on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively. The number of shares will be determined based on the VWAP of Autodesk’s common stock for the ninety consecutive trading day period ending on the release date. As of January 31, 2023, shares to be issued are estimated to be 23 thousand. See also Note 4, “Equity Compensation ”. Purchase Price Allocation The acquisitions during fiscal 2023 were accounted for as business combinations, and Autodesk recorded the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of each respective acquisition. The fair values assigned to the identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. Autodesk recorded the excess of consideration transferred over the aggregate fair values as goodwill. The goodwill recorded was primarily attributable to synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. No goodwill is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The transaction costs related to the acquisitions were not material. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major class for the business combinations that were completed during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023:
|  | Aggregated Total
Developed technologies |  | $ | 8 |
Customer relationships |  | 4 |
Goodwill |  | 85 |
Deferred revenue and long-term deferred revenue |  | (2) |
Long-term deferred income taxes |  | 1 |
Net tangible assets |  | 1 |
Total |  | $ | 97 |
For the business combinations, the allocation of purchase price consideration to certain assets and liabilities as well as the final amount of purchase consideration are not yet finalized. For the items not yet finalized, Autodesk's estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized are amounts for tax assets and liabilities and residual goodwill.
