Acquisition of Outward, Inc. | Note O: Acquisition of Outward, Inc. On December 1, 2017, we acquired Outward, Inc. (“Outward”), a 3-D imaging and augmented reality platform for the home furnishings and décor industry. Of the $112,000,000 contractual purchase price, approximately $80,864,000 was deemed to be purchase consideration, $26,690,000 is payable to former stockholders of Outward over a period of four years from the acquisition date, contingent upon their continued service during that time, and $4,446,000 primarily represents settlement of pre-existing obligations of Outward with third parties on the acquisition date. Certain key employees of Outward may also collectively earn up to an additional $20,000,000, contingent upon achievement of certain financial performance targets, and subject to their continued service over the performance period. Both of these contingent amounts will be recognized as post-combination compensation expense as they are earned. The purchase consideration of $80,864,000 was allocated to identifiable assets acquired of $2,767,000, primarily property and equipment, and to liabilities assumed of $12,169,000, based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The remaining consideration has been recorded within other long-term assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 28, 2018. We are currently in the process of valuing intangible assets acquired, and expect to allocate the remaining consideration between goodwill and intangible assets upon completion. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we incurred third party acquisition-related costs of approximately $1,983,000, which have been recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. Outward is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Williams-Sonoma, Inc. Results of operations for Outward have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the acquisition date. Pro forma results of Outward have not been presented as the results were not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements for all years presented, and would not have been material had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2017.
