7. Acquisitions

 

On April 2, 2024, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of a third party orthopedics distributor in the Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") market. Prior to the acquisition, the distributor sold our products to its customers. The acquisition is expected to improve our margins and allow us to better serve the end customers.

 

On April 29, 2024, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of V.I.M.S. Vidéo Interventionnelle Médicale Scientifique, a privately-held medical device company based in France, which expands our portfolio in the sports medicine market.

 

On August 16, 2024, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of a privately-held medical device company based in the United States, which expands our portfolio in the CMFT market.

 

On October 11, 2024, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of OrthoGrid Systems, Inc. (“OrthoGrid”), a privately-held medical device technology company focused on artificial intelligence-driven surgical guidance for total hip replacement, which expands our portfolio in the hips market.

 

These four acquisitions are collectively referred to in this report as the “2024 acquisitions”. Initial consideration related to the 2024 acquisitions was $294.8 million, with additional consideration up to $111.6 million, subject to the achievement of future regulatory milestones and commercial milestones. We determined the fair value of the additional consideration to be $61.0 million as of the acquisition dates.

 

The goodwill related to the 2024 acquisitions represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The goodwill related to these acquisitions is generated from the operational synergies, cross-selling opportunities and future development we expect to achieve from the technologies acquired. No goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill related to the two acquisitions that occurred in April of 2024 is included in the EMEA operating segment and reporting unit. The goodwill related to the acquisition that occurred in August of 2024 is included in the Americas operating segment and the Americas CMFT reporting unit. The goodwill related to the OrthoGrid acquisition is included in the Americas operating segment and the Americas Orthopedics reporting unit. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, there were no material adjustments to the preliminary values of the goodwill in any of the acquisitions. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rate

translation adjustments were the only significant activity related to our consolidated goodwill balance in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.

 

The purchase price allocations for the acquisitions which occurred in April of 2024 were final as of March 31, 2025. The purchase price allocations for the August acquisition and the OrthoGrid acquisition are preliminary as of March 31, 2025. We need additional time to evaluate the tax attributes of those transactions, which may change the recognized tax assets and liabilities. There may be differences between the preliminary estimates of fair value and the final acquisition accounting. The final estimates of fair value are expected to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than one year after the respective acquisition dates.

 

The following table summarizes the estimates of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the 2024 acquisitions (in millions):

The weighted average amortization periods selected for technology, customer relationships and trademarks and trade names were 14 years, 9 years and 14 years, respectively. Upon receiving regulatory approval subsequent to the applicable acquisition date, the $7.0 million of IPR&D was reclassified to a definite-lived intangible asset and began amortizing over the applicable estimated useful life.

 

We have not included pro forma information and certain other information under GAAP for any of the acquisitions described in this Note because they did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, we recognized intangible assets of $33.0 million related to agreements we entered into in order to acquire the ownership rights or gain access to various technologies. The weighted average amortization period selected for these intangible assets was 10 years. The contractual payments under these agreements are included in "Acquisition of intangible assets" in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. There were no material agreements of a similar nature entered into during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
