Note 3. Acquisitions

Teton Simulation Software (“Teton”)

On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired Teton Simulation Software (“Teton”) through a statutory merger in exchange for total consideration of $6.6 million, payable in a combination of cash and equity shares. Teton is a software company whose SmartSlice™ technology automates validation and optimizes part performance for additive manufacturing application. The Company integrated Teton's technology with its printing software solution, Eiger™, as a subscription add-on that offers manufacturing customers a streamlined workflow spanning part design, testing, optimization, validation and printing at the point of need, all on a single, cloud-based platform.

A portion of the acquisition consideration is contingent on achievement by Teton of certain business and development milestones, with a fair value of $1.6 million as of the date of acquisition. The Company will pay up to $1.5 million of business related contingent consideration based on stated sales or usage metrics, which had a fair value of $0.6 million as of the date of acquisition. The fair value of this milestone was determined to be $1.5 million as of December 31, 2023, the $0.9 million increase in fair value is recorded within sales and marketing expense on the statement of operations. The development earnout related to product technical milestones, which had a fair value of $1.0 million as of the date of acquisition. This milestone was met and $0.75 million of cash and 312,489 shares were disbursed in 2022. Of the acquisition date cash and equity consideration indicated below, $0.25 million of the cash consideration and $0.25 million of the equity consideration was “held-back.” The amount was released 12 months following the Closing Date. The holdback cash and shares were held on Markforged's December 31, 2022 balance sheet within accrued expenses and equity, respectively.

The total purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the Company’s estimates of their fair values on the acquisition date. The fair values of intangible assets were based on valuations using an income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method for developed technologies. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, discount rates, technology obsolescence curves, and EBITDA margins. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The Company’s estimates and assumptions in determining the estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as a result of additional information obtained with regards to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company made a measurement period adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocation, which resulted in an increase to goodwill of $0.2 million. The increase was due to an increase in deferred income tax liabilities of $0.2 million. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Digital Metal AB (“Digital Metal”)

On August 31, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between Markforged and Höganäs Aktiebolag, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Sweden (the “Seller”), the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding share capital of Digital Metal AB, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Sweden (“Digital Metal”). At the closing, the Company issued 4,100,000 shares of common stock of the Company, and paid approximately $33.5 million in cash. The cash payment was comprised of $32.0 million related to the purchase price and $1.5 million to settle certain intercompany balances between the Seller and Digital Metal. The acquisition of Digital Metal, the creator of a precise and reliable binder jetting solution, extends Markforged's capabilities into high-throughput production of metal additive parts.

Digital Metal generated revenues of $2.0 million and net loss of $1.4 million during the period between the date of acquisition, August 31, 2022, and December 31, 2022. These amounts are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The total purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the Company’s estimates of their fair values on the acquisition date. The fair values of intangible assets were based on valuations using an income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method for acquired technologies, relief-from-royalty method for trade names, and the distributor method for customer relationships. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, discount rates, technology obsolescence curves, and EBITDA margins. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill for the acquisition. The Company’s estimates and assumptions in determining the estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as a result of additional information obtained with regards to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company made a measurement period adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocation, which resulted in a decrease to goodwill of $2.0 million. The change was due to a decrease in deferred income tax liabilities of $0.5 million and increase of intangible assets of $1.5 million. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Pro Forma Information (Unaudited)

The following unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical financial statements of the Company and presents the Company’s results as if the acquisition of Digital Metal had occurred on January 1, 2021:

Although actual results could differ from the pro forma results, the Company believes the pro forma results provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transaction. However, the pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2021, including potential synergies, and therefore does not represent what the actual net revenues and net loss would have been had the companies been combined as of this date.
