Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Note 3. Kickserv Acquisition

On August 10, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the interest of Norman’s Dojo Inc. (“Kickserv”), a provider of field service management software for home service businesses for approximately $15.0 million in cash. The acquisition adds offerings for SMBs across diversified portfolios with an opportunity to capture a broader segment of new customers within the Home Services vertical.

We accounted for the acquisition as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the Company recorded identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date estimated fair values, with any excess consideration recognized as goodwill. Goodwill primarily represents the value associated with the assembled workforce and expected synergies subsumed into goodwill. The goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition of Kickserv is not deductible for tax purposes.

We measured the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date estimated fair values separately from goodwill, which represent Level 3 fair value measurements as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The estimated fair values were determined by management using the assistance of third-party valuation specialists. The valuation methods used to determine the estimated fair value of intangible assets included the income approach—relief from royalty method for developed technology with an estimated useful life of five years, and the income approach—multi period excess earnings method for customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 13 years. A number of assumptions and estimates were involved in the application of these valuation methods, including revenue forecasts, expected competition, costs of revenues, obsolescence, tax rates, capital spending, customer attrition rates, discount rates and working capital changes. Cash flow forecasts were generally based on pre-acquisition forecasts coupled with estimated revenues and cost synergies available to a market participant.

Our purchase price allocation for the acquisition is preliminary and subject to revision with provisional amounts related to tax-related and other items. Additional information that existed as of the acquisition date but at the time was unknown to us may become known to us during the remainder of the measurement period, which is not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date.

The financial results of Kickserv since the closing through September 30, 2023, were not material to our consolidated financial statements, nor were they material to our prior period consolidated results on a pro forma basis.
