2025 Acquisitions

Linksys Holdings, Inc.

In 2021, we invested $160.0 million in cash for shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of Linksys for a 50.8% ownership interest in the outstanding equity of Linksys. On January 31, 2025 (Linksys Acquisition Date”), we acquired all of the remaining outstanding Series A Preferred Stock of Linksys for $20.8 million in cash and now own 100% of the outstanding equity of Linksys. Our pre-existing equity method investment in Linksys of 50.8% ownership interest was remeasured to the fair value of $21.5 million at the Linksys Acquisition Date, which resulted in a $10.8 million gain recorded in gain (loss) from equity method investments on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Therefore, the aggregate purchase consideration for Linksys’ equity equaling the fair value of the previously owned stock and the purchase price for the remaining stock acquired was $42.3 million.

This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Of the aggregate purchase price, $17.5 million was allocated to identifiable intangible assets acquired, and $64.7 million was allocated to other net assets acquired which predominantly included deferred tax asset of $45.8 million, inventory of $21.4 million, and cash of $8.8 million, offset by $11.3 million of net other assets and liabilities assumed. The excess of the fair values of the net assets acquired over the net purchase consideration was recorded as a gain on bargain purchase of $39.9 million within other income (expense)net on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The gain on bargain purchase occurred primarily due to the recognition of the deferred tax assets. The deferred tax assets were comprised primarily of pre-acquisition federal net
operating loss carryforwards with an indefinite carryforward period. In addition, we had previously recorded a deferred tax asset of $30.6 million for an outside basis difference in our investment in Linksys when it was accounted for under the equity method. As a result of the acquisition of the remaining shares, we now account for our investment in Linksys under the consolidation method, and therefore we have derecognized this deferred tax asset. The charge is included in the provision for income taxes on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Acquisition-related costs related to this acquisition were not material and were recorded as general and administrative expense.

Other acquisitions

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we completed other acquisitions for total purchase consideration of $38.3 million in cash. We have accounted for the transactions as business combinations and recorded goodwill of $21.9 million, among which $8.6 million of goodwill is expected to be deductible and $13.3 million of goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Acquisition-related costs were not material and were recorded as general and administrative expense.

2024 Acquisitions

Perception Point Ltd.

On December 5, 2024, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of Perception Point Ltd., a business specializing in advanced collaboration and email security paid in cash. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Of the $33.7 million purchase price, $24.5 million was allocated to goodwill, $9.5 million was allocated to developed technology intangible asset, $6.5 million was allocated to customer relationships intangible asset, and $6.8 million was allocated to other net liabilities assumed, which predominantly include deferred revenue. Goodwill recorded in connection with this acquisition is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce acquired and the anticipated operational synergies. All acquired goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition-related costs were not material and were recorded as general and administrative expense.

Next DLP Holdings Limited

On August 5, 2024 (Next DLP Acquisition Date”), we acquired Next DLP Holdings Limited (“Next DLP”), a privately held insider risk and data loss prevention (“DLP”) company, for approximately $105.0 million in cash. We acquired Next DLP in an effort to improve our position in the standalone enterprise DLP market and strengthen our leadership in integrated DLP markets within endpoint and unified Secure Access Service Edge (“SASE”).

This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The total preliminary purchase price was allocated to Next DLP’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values using management’s best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value as of the acquisition date. Of the total preliminary purchase price, $82.6 million was allocated to goodwill, $13.5 million was allocated to developed technology intangible asset, $10.5 million was allocated to customer relationships intangible asset, offset by $1.6 million of net liabilities assumed, which predominantly included deferred revenue and deferred tax liabilities. Goodwill recorded in connection with this acquisition represents the value we expect to be created through expansion into markets within our existing business, and the anticipated operational synergies, and goodwill is expected to be deductible for U.S. tax purposes. Acquisition-related costs related to this acquisition were not material and were recorded as general and administrative expense.

Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period, which is up to 12 months after the Next DLP Acquisition Date. The allocation of the purchase price has been prepared on a preliminary basis and changes to the allocation of certain assets and liabilities may occur as additional information becomes available. The primary areas of the purchase price that are not yet finalized are related to income taxes and the valuation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

Lacework Inc.

On August 1, 2024 (“Lacework Acquisition Date”), we acquired Lacework Inc. (“Lacework”), a privately held data-driven cloud security company, for $152.3 million in cash. We acquired Lacework with a goal of offering its Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform solution separately as well as integrated with our existing portfolio, forming a comprehensive, artificial intelligence (“AI”)-driven cloud security platform available from a single vendor, which will help customers identify, prioritize, and remediate risks and threats in complex cloud-native infrastructure from code to cloud.

This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The total preliminary purchase price was allocated to Lacework’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on their estimated fair values using management’s best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value as of the acquisition date. Of the total preliminary purchase price, $244.4 million was allocated to deferred tax assets, $61.3 million allocation to identifiable intangible assets, and $6.2 million cash, offset by net other assets and liabilities assumed of $53.3 million, which predominantly included deferred revenue and other current liabilities. The excess of the fair values of the net assets acquired over the net purchase consideration was recorded as a gain on bargain purchase of $106.3 million within other income (expense)—net on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The gain on bargain purchase occurred primarily due to the recognition of the deferred tax assets. The deferred tax assets were comprised primarily of pre-acquisition federal net operating loss carryforwards with an indefinite carryforward period. Acquisition-related costs related to this acquisition were not material and were recorded as general and administrative expense.

Of the total identified intangible assets acquired $39.5 million was developed technology, $10.0 million was backlog, $7.5 million was customer relationships and $4.3 million was trade name.

Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period, which is up to 12 months after the Lacework Acquisition Date. The allocation of the purchase price for this acquisition has been prepared on a preliminary basis and changes to the allocation of certain assets and liabilities may occur as additional information becomes available. The primary area of the purchase price that is not yet finalized is related to income taxes.
