Acquisition

NOTE 5. Acquisition

The Company uses the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. This standard requires that the total cost of an acquisition be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Company’s estimates and assumptions used in assessing fair value are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially recorded in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related expenses are expensed when incurred.

The Company may also agree to pay a portion of the purchase price for certain acquisitions in the form of contingent consideration. The unpaid amounts of these liabilities are included in the acquisition-related liabilities on the condensed unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

LiveIntent, Inc.

On October 7, 2024, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with the seller of LiveIntent, Inc., (“LiveIntent”) to purchase all of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Company closed this acquisition on October 21, 2024. The Company concluded that the transaction represents an acquisition of a business under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The fair value of the aggregate purchase consideration for the LiveIntent acquisition was $285,982, including $26,983 paid for cash acquired as part of this acquisition, $16,898 as estimated earn-outs based on the achievement of certain operating targets of the acquired business and $14,350 as certain holdbacks. The Company paid $55,819 (net of cash acquired) and issued 5,839,656 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company has recorded this transaction based on the preliminary purchase price allocation. Accordingly, the Company has recognized $29,760 as customer relationships intangibles, $36,180 as completed technologies, $12,220 as tradenames, $185,091 as goodwill, and $22,731 as other net assets associated with this acquisition. The Company amortizes the intangible assets over the weighted average life of 4.0 years.

The Company paid $530 for certain acquisition-related liabilities during the three months ending March 31, 2025.

Prior to the acquisition, LiveIntent was a pioneer in people-based marketing, with proprietary technology powering mobile-centric experiences and first-party identity solutions to identify, unlock, engage, and monetize audiences across channels. Therefore, the Company paid a premium to acquire LiveIntent assets, which is represented as goodwill in the above purchase price allocation. The Company incurred $8,229 as acquisition-related expenses related to this acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Goodwill acquired by the Company in its LiveIntent acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
