Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Divestiture | Divestiture During the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Visa International Service Association (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s subsidiary, Smart Card Software Limited, which comprises the Company’s Payments and Ticketing businesses, which was part of the Company’s former Rambus Security Division (RSD) segment. The decision to sell these businesses reflected the Company’s ongoing review of its business to focus on products and offerings that are core to its semiconductor business. The sale of the legal entities comprising the Company’s Payments and Ticketing businesses was completed in October 2019. The final gross proceeds from the sale amounted to $82.5 million, which included the selling price of $75.0 million and approximately $7.5 million in net working capital adjustments finalized in October 2019. The $7.5 million in net working capital adjustments is net of a final working capital adjustment due to the buyer of approximately $1.1 million, which the Company paid in cash to the buyer during the first quarter of 2020. The final gross proceeds were offset by approximately $3.8 million in transaction costs for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company measured these businesses at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell, and recognized a cumulative impairment of approximately $7.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. In the second quarter of 2019, in order to determine the impairment loss, the Company performed a relative fair value measurement to allocate goodwill to the business units between the disposed Payments and Ticketing businesses and the retained business, which includes Cryptography Research Inc., which was part of the former RSD segment. The fair value of the retained business was estimated by management using a discounted cash flow model. The Company’s cash flow projections for the retained business included significant judgments and assumptions relating to revenue growth rates, projected operating income and the discount rate. The operating results of these businesses did not qualify for reporting as discontinued operations. The reported results and financial position of the businesses did not necessarily reflect the total value of the businesses that the Company realized upon their sale.
