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 metrics, which had a fair value of $0.6 million as of the date of acquisition. The fair value of this milestone remained unchanged as of December 31, 2022. 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 has been “held-back.” This amount will be released 12 months following the Closing Date, unless there is a claim for indemnification. The holdback cash and shares are held on Markforged's 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. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred is as follows (in thousands):

The estimated useful life of the identifiable intangible asset acquired, developed technology, is 7 years.

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.
