Fiscal Year 2020 Acquisition

Streamlabs Acquisition

On October 31, 2019 (the "Streamlabs Acquisition Date"), the Company acquired all equity interests of General Workings, Inc. ("Streamlabs") for a total consideration of $105.7 million (as described in the table below), which included a working capital adjustment, plus additional contingent consideration of $29.0 million payable in stock only upon the achievement of certain net revenues for the period beginning on January 1, 2020 and ending on June 30, 2020 (the "Streamlabs Acquisition").

Streamlabs is a leading provider of software and tools for professional streamers. The Streamlabs Acquisition is complementary to the Company's gaming portfolio.

Streamlabs met the definition of a business, and therefore the acquisition is accounted for using the acquisition method.

The fair value of consideration transferred for the Streamlabs Acquisition consists of the following (in thousands):

Intangible assets acquired as a result of the Streamlabs Acquisition are being amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of amortization, which materially approximates the distribution of the economic value of the identified intangible assets. Amortization of acquired developed technology of $1.5 million during the year ended March 31, 2020 is included in "amortization of intangible assets and purchase accounting effect of inventory" in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of the acquired customer relationships and trade name of $1.7 million during the year ended March 31, 2020 is included in "Amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related costs" in the consolidated statements of operations.

Developed technology relates to the software platform which existing Streamlabs services are provided on. The economic useful life was determined based on the technology cycle related to developed technology of the software platform, as well as the cash flows anticipated over the forecasted periods.

Customer relationships represent the fair value of future projected revenue that will be derived from sales to existing customers of Streamlabs. The economic useful life was determined based on historical customer turnover rates and industry benchmarks.

Trade name relates to the “Streamlabs” trade name. The economic useful life was determined based on the expected life of the trade name and the cash flows anticipated over the forecasted periods.

The fair value of developed technology was estimated using the excess earnings method, an income approach (Level 3), which converts projected revenues and costs into cash flows. To reflect the fact that certain other assets contributed to the cash flows generated, the returns for these contributory assets were removed to arrive at estimated cash flows solely attributable to the developed technology, which were discounted at a rate of 25%.

The fair value of trade name was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, an income approach (Level 3), which estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of the intangible assets that would otherwise be payable as royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. A royalty rate is applied to the projected revenues associated with the intangible assets to determine the amount of savings, which is then
discounted to determine the fair value. Trade name was valued using royalty rate of 5% and was discounted at a rate of 25%.

The fair value of customer relationships was estimated primarily using the with and without scenario, a discounted cash flow method (Level 3). Under this method, the Company calculated the present value of the after-tax cash flows expected to be generated by the business with and without the customer relationships using a discount rate of 20%. The without scenario incorporates lost revenue and lost profits over the period necessary to retain the asset.

The Company believes the fair values of acquired intangible assets recorded above represents their fair values and approximates the amounts a market participant would pay for these intangible assets as of the Streamlabs Acquisition Date.

The Company included Streamlabs' estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in its consolidated financial statements beginning on the Streamlabs Acquisition Date. The results of operations for Streamlabs subsequent to the Streamlabs Acquisition Date have been included in, but are not material to, the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2020. Streamlabs contributed $13.1 million to the net sales for the year ended March 31, 2020, representing less than 1% of the Company's net sales for the year.

On October 31, 2019, the Company also made an immaterial technology acquisition for a total cash consideration of $3.6 million, which was accounted for using the acquisition method. The Company retained 10% of the total consideration for the purpose of ensuring seller's representations and warranties.

Fiscal Year 2019 Acquisition

Blue Microphones Acquisition

On August 21, 2018 (the "Blue Microphones Acquisition Date"), the Company acquired all equity interests in Blue Microphones Holding Corporation ("Blue Microphones") for a total consideration of $134.8 million in cash (the "Blue Microphones Acquisition"), which included a working capital adjustment and repayment of debt on behalf of Blue Microphones.

Blue Microphones is a leading audio manufacturer that designs and produces microphones, headphones, recording tools, and accessories for audio professionals, musicians and consumers. The Blue Microphones Acquisition supplements the Company's product portfolio. 

Blue Microphones met the definition of a business, and therefore the acquisition is accounted for using the acquisition method.

Goodwill related to the acquisition is primarily attributable to opportunities and economies of scale from combining the operations and technologies of Logitech and Blue Microphones and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of the inventory acquired is estimated at its net realizable value, which uses the estimated selling prices, less the cost of disposal and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling efforts. The difference between the fair value of the inventories and the amount recorded by Blue Microphones immediately before the acquisition is $1.8 million, which has been recognized in "amortization of intangibles assets and purchase accounting effect on inventory" in the consolidated statements of operations upon the sale of the acquired inventory.

Intangible assets acquired as a result of the Blue Microphones Acquisition are being amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of amortization, which materially approximates the distribution of the economic value of the intangible assets. Amortization of developed technology of $3.6 million, and $2.1 million during the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is included in "amortization of intangible assets and purchase accounting effect of inventory" in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of customer relationships, trademark and trade names of $4.3 million and $2.5 million during the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is included in "amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related costs" in the consolidated statements of operations.

Developed technology relates to existing Blue Microphones products. The economic useful life was determined based on the technology cycle related to developed technology of existing products, as well as the cash flows anticipated over the forecasted periods.

Customer relationships represent the fair value of future projected revenue that will be derived from sales of products to existing customers of Blue Microphones. The economic useful life was determined based on historical customer attrition rates and industry benchmarks.

Trademark and trade name relates to “Blue Microphones”. The economic useful life was determined based on the expected life of the trade name and the cash flows anticipated over the forecasted periods.

The fair values of developed technology and trade name were estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, an income approach (Level 3), which estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of the intangible assets that would otherwise be payable as royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. A royalty rate is applied to the projected revenues associated with the intangible assets to determine the amount of savings, which is then discounted to determine the fair value. The developed technology and trade name were valued using royalty rates of 10% and 3%, respectively, and both were discounted at a rate of 11%.

The fair value of customer relationships was estimated using the excess earnings method, an income approach (Level 3), which converts projected revenues and costs into cash flows. To reflect the fact that certain other assets contributed to the cash flows generated, the returns for these contributory assets were removed to arrive at estimated cash flows solely attributable to the customer relationships, which were discounted at a rate of 11%.

The Company believes the fair value of the intangible assets recorded above approximates the amounts a market participant would pay for these intangible assets as of the Blue Microphones Acquisition Date.

The Company included Blue Microphones' estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in its consolidated balance sheet beginning on the Blue Microphones Acquisition Date. The results of operations for Blue Microphones subsequent to the Blue Microphones Acquisition Date have been included in, but are not material to, the Company's consolidated statements of operations. 

Acquisition-related costs and pro forma results of operations

The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $1.5 million, $1.7 million and $1.4 million, in aggregate, for the year ended March 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The acquisition-related costs are included in "Amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related costs" in the consolidated statements of operations.

Pro forma results of operations for acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2020 and 2019 have not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions are not material to the consolidated statements of operations individually or in aggregate for each year.
