Acquisition

On October 14, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of EverWatch Corp. (“EverWatch”), a leading provider of advanced solutions to the defense and intelligence communities for approximately $445.1 million, net of post-closing adjustments and incurred transaction costs as part of the acquisition. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. As a result of the transaction, EverWatch became a wholly owned subsidiary of Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.

The Company recognized $108.6 million of intangible assets which consists primarily of contract assets and were valued using the excess earnings method discounted cash flow approach, incorporating Level 3 inputs as described under the fair value hierarchy of Topic 820. These unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own judgment about which assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset on a non-recurring basis. The intangible assets are being amortized over the estimated useful life of 14 years. The goodwill of $330.9 million is primarily attributable to EverWatch's specialized workforce and the expected synergies between the Company and EverWatch, and is non-deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the consideration and the allocation of the purchase price paid for EverWatch:


Cash consideration (gross of cash acquired)	$	445,074

Cash	4,779
Current assets	27,725
Operating lease right-of-use asset	7,894

Deferred tax liabilities	(20,394)
Current liabilities	(11,612)

Operating lease liabilities - long-term	(6,532)
