ACQUISITIONS [ABSTRACT] |
ACQUISITIONS | (2)ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES Strategic Communications Services On April 30, 2018, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Strategic Communications Services, Ltd (“SCS”). SCS provides services as a system integrator for multichannel contact center platforms, including CISCO. The Company offers in-house, managed and outsourced network, information, communications and contact center services to leading brands throughout Europe. This business has been integrated into the Company’s TTEC Digital segment. Total cash paid at acquisition was £4.4 million ($6.1 million USD) (inclusive of $4.5 million related to cash balances). The purchase price was subject to customary representations and warranties, indemnities, and a net working capital adjustment. The agreement includes potential earn-out payments over the next three years with a maximum value of £3.0 million ($4.1 million USD) contingent on EBITDA performance over the next three years. The Company finalized the working capital adjustment for an additional $210 thousand during the third quarter of 2018 which was paid in October 2018. The fair value of the contingent consideration was measured based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key assumptions included a discount rate of 4.7% and expected future value of payments of $2.9 million. The $2.9 million of expected future payments was calculated using probability weighted EBITDA assessment with the highest probability associated with SCS achieving the targeted EBITDA for each earn-out year. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $2.7 million. As of June 30, 2019, based on current year and expected future EBITDA, the fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated to be zero and thus the $2.4 million accrual was reversed and is included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The following summarizes the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
|  | Acquisition Date |
|  | Fair Value |
Cash |  | $ | 4,530 |
Accounts receivable, net |  |  | 985 |
Prepaid expenses |  |  | 39 |
Customer relationships |  |  | 3,619 |
Goodwill |  |  | 1,231 |
|  | $ | 10,404 |
Accounts payable |  | $ | 216 |
Accrued employee compensation and benefits |  |  | 27 |
Accrued expenses |  |  | 21 |
Deferred tax liabilities |  |  | 629 |
|  | $ | 893 |
Total purchase price |  | $ | 9,511 |
In the first quarter of 2019, the Company finalized its valuation of SCS for the acquisition date assets acquired and liabilities assumed and determined that no material adjustments to any of the balances were required. The SCS customer relationships are being amortized over a useful life of 10 years. The goodwill recognized from the SCS acquisition is attributable, but not limited to, the acquired workforce and expected synergies with TTEC Digital. None of the tax basis of the acquired intangibles and goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquired goodwill and intangibles and operating results of SCS are reported within the TTEC Digital segment from the date of acquisition. Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Concierge On March 31, 2018, the Company, through its subsidiary Percepta, acquired certain assets from Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Concierge, LLC (“BH”) related to a customer engagement center and the related customer contracts. This acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination. These assets have been integrated into the Company’s TTEC Engage segment. The total cash paid was $1. In connection with the purchase, Percepta assumed the lease for the customer engagement center and entered into a transitional services agreement with BH to facilitate the transfer of the employees and business. Fair values were assigned to each purchased asset including $257 thousand for customer relationships, $330 thousand as a lease subsidy and $98 thousand for fixed assets. Based on the $1 purchase price, a gain on purchase of $685 thousand was recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and was included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Financial Impact of Acquired Businesses The acquired businesses purchased in 2018 noted above contributed revenues of $1.9 million and a net loss of $0.4 million, inclusive of $0.2 million of acquired intangible amortization, to the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The unaudited proforma impact of the 2018 acquisitions on the consolidated results of operations of the Company for the first six months of 2018 as though the acquisitions occurred on January 1 was not material. Investments CaféX In the first quarter of 2015, the Company invested $9.0 million in CaféX Communications, Inc. (“CaféX”) through the purchase of a portion of its outstanding Series B Preferred Stock of CaféX. CaféX is a provider of omni-channel web-based real time communication (WebRTC) solutions that enhance mobile applications and websites with in-app video communication and screen share technology to increase customer satisfaction and enterprise efficiency. At December 31, 2015, the Company owned 17.2% of the total equity of CaféX. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company invested an additional $4.3 million to purchase a portion of the Series C Preferred Stock of CaféX. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company purchased a portion of the common shares from another investor for $1. At June 30, 2019, the Company owns 17.8% of the total equity of CaféX. The investment is accounted for under the cost method of accounting. The Company evaluates its investments for possible other-than-temporary impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company provided a $2.1 million bridge loan which accrues interest at a rate of 12% per year until maturity or conversion, which will be no later than June 30, 2020. As of March 31, 2018, the Company evaluated the investment in CaféX for impairment due to a large anticipated sale of IP not being completed as planned during the first quarter of 2018, a shift in the strategy of the company, an ongoing default by CaféX of its loan agreement with its bank, and a lack of potential additional funding options as of March 31, 2018. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that the fair value of its investment was zero and thus the investment was impaired as of March 31, 2018. The Company recorded a $15.6 million write-off of the equity investment and the bridge loan which was included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
