Business Combinations [Abstract] |
ACQUISITION | ACQUISITIONS On May 4, 2017, we announced the rebranding of our Digi Cold Chain Solutions to Digi Smart Solutions™. Acquisition of SMART Temps, LLC On January 9, 2017, we purchased all of the outstanding interests of SMART Temps, LLC (SMART Temps), an Indiana-based provider of real-time temperature management for pharmacies, education, and hospital settings as well as real-time temperature management for blood bank, laboratory environments, restaurants, and grocery. We believe this is a complementary acquisition for us as the acquired technology will continue to be supported to further enhance our portfolio of products for the Solutions segment (see Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements). The terms of the acquisition included an upfront cash payment together with future earn-out payments. Cash of $28.8 million (excluding cash acquired of $0.5 million) was paid at time of closing. The earn-out payments are scheduled to be paid after December 31, 2017 which is the end of the earn-out period. The cumulative amount of these earn-out payments will not exceed $7.2 million. We determined that the earn-out would be considered as part of the purchase price consideration because there was no continuing employment requirements associated with the earn-out. The fair value of this contingent consideration was $10,000 at the date of acquisition and zero at September 30, 2017 (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $18.8 million of goodwill. For tax purposes, this acquisition is treated as an asset acquisition, therefore the goodwill is deductible. We believe that the acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill because this is a complementary acquisition for us and will provide a source of recurring revenue in a new vertically focused Solutions segment. The SMART Temps acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed pursuant to the purchase agreement be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the final values of SMART Temps assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
Cash | $ | 28,754 |
Fair value of contingent consideration on acquired business | 10 |
Working capital adjustment | 124 |
Total purchase price consideration | $ | 28,888 |
Fair value of net tangible assets acquired | $ | 761 |
Fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired: |
Purchased and core technology | 4,000 |
Customer relationships | 4,000 |
Trade name and trademarks | 711 |
Non-compete agreements | 600 |
Goodwill | 18,816 |
Total | $ | 28,888 |
2. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) Operating results for SMART Temps from January 9, 2017 forward are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017 reflects the final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. As of the date of acquisition, the weighted average useful life for all the identifiable intangibles listed above was 5.9 years. For purposes of determining fair value, the purchased and core technology identified above is assumed to have a useful life of five years, the customer relationships are assumed to have useful lives of seven years, the trade name and trademarks are assumed to have useful lives of five years and the non-compete agreements are assumed to have useful lives of five years. Useful lives for identifiable intangible assets are estimated at the time of acquisition based on the periods of time from which we expect to derive benefits from the identifiable intangible assets. The amounts of revenue and net loss included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the acquisition date of January 9, 2017 were $5.5 million and $(1.2) million, respectively. Costs directly related to the acquisition, including legal, accounting and valuation fees of approximately $0.8 million have been charged directly to operations and are included in general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following consolidated pro forma information is as if the acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2015 (in thousands):
|  | Fiscal year ended September 30,
|  | 2017 |  | 2016
Revenue |  | $ | 182,568 |  |  | $ | 207,494 |
Income from continuing operations |  | $ | 8,675 |  |  | $ | 11,370 |
Net income |  | $ | 8,675 |  |  | $ | 14,600 |
Pro forma income from continuing operations and net income were both adjusted to exclude interest expense related to debt that was paid off prior to acquisition, adjust amortization to the fair value of the intangibles acquired and remove any costs that SMART Temps incurred associated with the sale transaction. Acquisition of FreshTemp, LLC On November 1, 2016, we purchased all of the outstanding interests of FreshTemp, LLC (FreshTemp), a Pittsburgh-based provider of temperature monitoring and automated task management solutions for the food industry. We believe this is a complementary acquisition for us as the acquired technology will continue to be supported to create an advanced portfolio of products for the Solutions segment. The terms of the acquisition included an upfront cash payment together with future earn-out payments and a holdback amount. Cash of $1.7 million was paid at time of closing. The earn-out payments are based on revenue related to certain customer contracts entered into by June 30, 2017. The fair value of this contingent consideration was $1.3 million at the date of acquisition and $0.4 million at September 30, 2017 (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The final calculation date will be on June 30, 2018. The cumulative amount of these earn-out payments will not exceed $2.3 million. We determined that the earn-out would be considered as part of the purchase price consideration as there was no continuing employment requirements associated with the earn-out. Costs directly related to the acquisition, including legal, accounting and valuation fees, of approximately $60,000 have been charged directly to operations and are included in general and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $2.7 million of goodwill. For tax purposes, this acquisition is treated as an asset acquisition, therefore the goodwill is deductible. We believe that the acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill because this is a complementary acquisition for us and will provide a source of recurring revenue in a new vertically focused solutions business. The FreshTemp acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed pursuant to the purchase agreement be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. 2. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) The following table summarizes the final values of FreshTemp assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
Cash | $ | 1,697 |
Purchase price payable upon completion of diligence matters | 303 |
Fair value of contingent consideration on acquired business | 1,300 |
Working capital adjustment | (37 | )
Total purchase price consideration | $ | 3,263 |
Fair value of net tangible assets acquired | $ | (37 | )
Fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired: |
Purchased and core technology | 400 |
Customer relationships | 250 |
Goodwill | 2,650 |
Total | $ | 3,263 |
Operating results for FreshTemp from November 2, 2016 forward are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017 reflects the final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The identifiable intangibles values and net working capital values were finalized in the second fiscal quarter of 2017. The weighted average useful life for all the identifiable intangibles listed above is 5.8 years. For purposes of determining fair value, the purchased and core technology identified above is assumed to have a useful life of five years and the customer relationships are assumed to have useful lives of seven years. Useful lives for identifiable intangible assets are estimated at the time of acquisition based on the periods of time from which we expect to derive benefits from the identifiable intangible assets. Since the FreshTemp acquisition occurred close to the beginning of our fiscal 2017, the pro forma amounts were not materially different from actual amounts. Revenue for the year ended September 30, 2017 related to the FreshTemp acquisition was $0.5 million. As our operating costs related to the FreshTemp acquisition are integrated into the Company’s operating income and related earnings per share, the separate FreshTemp amounts are not determinable for fiscal 2017. Pro forma information for fiscal 2016 was not materially different from actual amounts. Acquisition of Bluenica Corporation On October 5, 2015, we purchased all of the outstanding stock of Bluenica Corporation (Bluenica), a company focused on temperature monitoring of perishable goods in the food industry by using wireless sensors, which are installed in grocery and convenience stores, restaurants, and in products during shipment and storage to ensure that quality, freshness and public health requirements are met. This acquisition formed the basis for our Solutions segment. The terms of the acquisition included an upfront cash payment together with earn-out payments. Cash of $2.9 million was paid at time of closing. The earn-out payments are scheduled to be paid in installments over a four-year period based on revenue achievement of the acquired business. Each of the earn-out payments will be calculated based on the revenue performance of the Solutions segment for each respective earn-out period. The cumulative amount of these earn-out payments will not exceed $11.6 million. An additional payment, not to exceed $3.5 million, may also be due depending on revenue performance. The fair value of this contingent consideration was $10.4 million at the date of acquisition and $6.0 million at September 30, 2017 (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). We determined that the earn-out would be considered as part of the purchase price consideration as there was no continuing employment requirements associated with the earn-out. The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $11.0 million of goodwill. We believe that the acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill because this is a complementary acquisition for us and will provide a source of recurring revenue in a new vertically focused solutions business. Operating results for Bluenica are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations from October 6, 2015.
