Acquisitions in 2024

FEops NV

On July 18, 2024, the Group executed a share purchase agreement and acquired 100% of the shares of FEops NV (“FEops”) for a total purchase consideration of K€2,985. The acquisition was realized by Materialise NV.

FEops NV is a Belgian company that develops AI-driven simulation technology to improve procedure efficiency and clinical outcomes for structural heart interventions. We expect the acquisition will allow Materialise to expand our cardiovascular solutions with predictive simulation capabilities, advancing the personalized treatment of patients with heart diseases. FEops will be part of the Materialise Medical segment.

Acquisition price

2,985

The fair value of the identified assets and liabilities included in our consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date was K€3,008. The Group acquired 100% of voting equity interests in Feops NV for a total consideration of K€2,985. This is the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities decreased by a negative goodwill of K€23.

The accounting for the business combination resulted in fair values at date of acquisition of K€122 for brands and trademarks (useful life of 5 years) and K€2,938 for technology (useful life of 7 years). The valuation technique used to measure the fair value of brands and trademarks, as well as software, was the relief-from-royalty method. The relief-from-royalty method considers the discounted estimated royalty payments that the Group would be prepared to pay to license the respective asset under a contract if it did not own the asset. Key assumptions used in the application of this valuation technique include the forecasted year-on-year growth rate of revenue, the technology royalty rate and the discount rate. A deferred tax liability was recognized of K€(77) on the adjusted fair values. The discount rate used for the valuation was set at 15.03%. The carrying value of the acquired trade and other receivables approximate their fair value due to the short term character of these instruments.

The FEops revenue included in the consolidated financial statement between acquisition date of July 18, 2024 and December 31, 2024 was K€568. As integration within the Materialise Medical segment started immediately it is impracticable to disclose information on profit.

There are no contingent considerations payable.
