Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
Acquisitions Acquisitions
Acquisition of PBSC Urban Solutions Inc. ("PBSC")
On May 17, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of one hundred percent of PBSC's outstanding equity, a global leader in bikeshare that supplies stations and bikes to markets internationally, for a total purchase price of $163.5 million inclusive of $14.1 million in estimated fair value of contingent consideration. The acquisition was treated as a business combination and increases the Company’s scale in micromobility by leveraging PBSC’s deep sales experience and customer relationships.
Acquisition costs were immaterial and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The earn out incentives, ranging from zero to $15.0 million, is included in contingent consideration on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 at a fair value of $15.0 million. The earn out incentives are based on hardware and software for new system sales, either earned or committed during the earn out period. It will be remeasured on a recurring basis at fair value. To estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, management utilized an option-pricing model to value the earn out based on the likelihood of reaching firm-specific targets. Significant inputs used in the calculations include probability of success, duration of the earn-out and discount rate.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Closing Date (in thousands):
Cash and cash equivalents$2,665 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets34,845

Net assets assumed82,768

Total acquisition consideration$163,516 
The purchase accounting for the acquisition of PBSC remains incomplete with respect to certain opening current asset and liability balances. Additionally, identifiable intangible assets, deferred tax liabilities and purchase consideration, may be adjusted as management continues to gather and evaluate information about circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments will be recognized prospectively. The measurement period is not to exceed 12 months from the date of acquisition
The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 on April 1, 2022, prior to the acquisition of PBSC, the Company's only acquisition in 2022. Upon the adoption of this update, contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination are recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts, which would generally result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements. Therefore, PBSC’s historical deferred revenue balance as of May 17, 2022 has been included in the purchase price allocation in accordance with ASU 2021-08.
The goodwill is attributable to (i) expanded sales opportunities for the Company's current products and services by leveraging PBSC's assembled workforce and (ii) cost synergies associated with economies of scale and a streamlined supply chain as the combined businesses operate on a global scale. The acquisition is a non-taxable business combination and goodwill recognized in the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
The Company recorded intangible assets at their fair value, which consisted of the following (in thousands):
Estimated useful life (in years)Amount
Tradename2$1,009 
Customer relationships – cities
7 - 11
22,157 
Developed technology (hardware and software)
2 - 3
21,881 
Total intangible assets$45,047 
The fair value of the tradename was determined to be $1.0 million with an estimated useful life of two years. The fair value of the tradename was determined using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. This involves forecasting avoided royalties, reducing them by taxes and discounting the resulting net cash flows to a present value using an appropriate discount rate.
The fair value of the contractual relationships – cities was determined to be $22.2 million with estimated useful lives between seven years and eleven years. The fair value of the contractual relationships – cities was determined using the multi-period excess earnings. The multi-period excess earnings approach involves forecasting the net earnings expected to be generated by the asset, reducing them by appropriate returns on contributory assets, and then discounting the resulting net cash flows to a present value using an appropriate discount rate.
The fair value of the developed technology intangible asset was determined to be $21.9 million with an estimated useful life between two years and three years. The fair value of the developed technology was determined using the replacement cost approach. In the replacement cost approach, the fair value of an asset is based on the cost of a market participant to reconstruct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for any obsolescence. The fair value of the asset would include the expected profit margin a
hypothetical third party developer would charge and a market participant buyer's opportunity costs lost over the period to reconstruct the substitute asset.
Judgment was applied for a number of assumptions in valuing the identified intangible assets, including revenue and cash flow forecasts, technology life, royalty rate, obsolescence and discount rate.
Refer to Note 17 Variable Interest Entities” to the consolidated financial statements for information regarding the variable interest entities included in this transaction.
The results of operations for the acquired business have been included in the consolidated statements of operations for the period subsequent to the Company's acquisition of PBSC. PBSC’s results of operations for periods prior to this acquisition were not material to the consolidated statements of operations and, accordingly, pro forma financial information has not been presented.
Acquisition of Flexdrive Services, LLC (“Flexdrive”)
On February 7, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of Flexdrive for approximately $20.0 million and treated the acquisition as a business combination. The acquisition is expected to contribute to the growth of the Company's current business, and help expand the range of the Company's use cases. Prior to the acquisition, the Company acted as the lessee of Flexdrive’s vehicles and sublessor for each vehicle prior to its rental by drivers. As of the Closing Date, the Company had approximately $133.1 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and $130.1 million of operating lease liabilities on the balance sheet related to this preexisting contractual relationship with Flexdrive. This preexisting contractual relationship and others were settled on the Closing Date as an adjustment to the purchase price, resulting in a total acquisition consideration paid of $13.0 million.
Acquisition costs were immaterial and are included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Closing Date (in thousands):
Cash and cash equivalents$587 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets276 
Property and equipment111,881 
Finance lease right-of-use assets56,014 
Identifiable intangible assets - developed technology13,200 
Total identifiable assets acquired181,958 
Loans134,121 
Finance lease & other liabilities57,265 
Total liabilities assumed191,386 
Net liabilities assumed(9,428)
Goodwill22,455 
Total acquisition consideration$13,027 
Goodwill represents the excess of the total purchase consideration over the fair value of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is attributable to expected synergies and monetization opportunities from gaining control over the Flexdrive platform (“developed technology” intangible asset) and gaining greater flexibility in monetizing the fleet of owned and leased vehicles from the combined operations of the Company and Flexdrive. The acquisition is a taxable business combination for tax purposes and goodwill recognized in the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.
The fair value of the developed technology intangible asset was determined to be $13.2 million with an estimated useful life of three years. The fair value of the developed technology was determined using the avoided cost approach. In the avoided cost approach, the fair value of an asset is based on the future after-tax costs which are avoided (or reduced) as a result of owning (or having the rights to) the asset for three years after the Closing Date. Indications of value were developed by discounting these benefits to their present value.
The results of operations for the acquired business have been included on the consolidated statements of operations for the period subsequent to the Company's acquisition of Flexdrive. Flexdrive's results of operations for periods prior to this acquisition were not material to the consolidated statements of operations and, accordingly, pro forma financial information has not been presented.
