Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS | BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Fiscal 2022 Acquisitions: Vyatta and Xelic On November 1, 2021, Ciena acquired AT&T’s Vyatta Software Technology (“Vyatta”), a provider of software-based virtual routing and switching technology. AT&T is a customer of Ciena, see Note 2 above. On March 9, 2022, Ciena acquired Xelic, Inc., a provider and developer of field programmable gate array (FPGA) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology and optical networking IP cores. These businesses were acquired for an aggregate of approximately $64.1 million, of which $63.3 million was paid in cash and $0.8 million represents a future payable arrangement. These transactions have each been accounted for as the acquisition of a business. Ciena incurred approximately $1.7 million in acquisition-related costs associated with these acquisitions. These costs and expenses primarily include fees associated with financial, legal and accounting advisors. These costs were recorded in acquisition and integration costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation related to the acquisitions based on the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (in thousands):
| Amount
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 201 |
Prepaid expenses and other | 1,614 |
Equipment, furniture and fixtures | 694 |
Customer relationships and contracts | 15,800 |
Developed technology | 32,491 |
Goodwill | 17,698 |
Accrued liabilities | (4,434) |
Total purchase consideration | $ | 64,064 |
Customer relationships and contracts represent agreements with existing Vyatta customers and have an estimated useful life of two years. Developed technology represents purchased technology that has reached technological feasibility and for which the acquired companies had substantially completed development as of the date of acquisition. Fair value was determined using future discounted cash flows related to the projected income stream of the developed technology for a discrete projection period. Cash flows were discounted to their present value as of the closing date. Developed technology is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of five years. The goodwill generated from these acquisitions are primarily related to expected economic synergies. The total goodwill amount was recorded in the Networking Platforms segment. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Pro forma disclosures have not been included due to immateriality. The amounts of revenue and earnings for these acquisitions since the acquisition dates, which are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the reporting period are immaterial. Fiscal 2020 Acquisitions: Centina Systems, Inc. On November 2, 2019, Ciena acquired Centina Systems, Inc. (“Centina”), a provider of service assurance analytics and network performance management solutions, for approximately $34.0 million in cash.
