Adlumin, Inc.
On November 20, 2024, we acquired Adlumin, Inc. (“Adlumin”) a Washington, D.C. based enterprise-grade security operations platform provider. The acquisition was structured as a merger transaction pursuant to which Adlumin became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. The aggregate consideration payable at closing of the transaction included $98.7 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments and funded with cash on hand, and the issuance of up to 1,570,762 shares of our common stock. Additionally, the former Adlumin shareholders have the right to receive $120.0 million in cash in installments of $52.5 million and $67.5 million on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively, and up to an aggregate of $30.0 million in potential cash earn-out payments payable in 2025 and 2026 based upon the achievement of certain performance metrics against defined targets for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years.
The acquisition is intended to build upon our prior partnership with Adlumin providing extended detection and response (“XDR”) capabilities and managed detection and response (“MDR”) services, and allow us to incorporate Adlumin’s innovative technology with our industry-leading platform that combines security, unified endpoint management, and data protection solutions. We incurred net transaction related costs of $2.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in general and administrative expense. Goodwill and acquired identifiable intangible assets for this acquisition are not deductible for tax purposes. There were no measurement period adjustments recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the measurement period will conclude as of November 19, 2025.

The results of operations related to Adlumin since the acquisition date are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements during the year ended December 31, 2024. As noted above, total consideration includes the former Adlumin shareholders’ right to receive $120.0 million in cash in installments of $52.5 million and $67.5 million on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively, and up to an aggregate of $30.0 million in potential cash earn-out payments payable in 2025 and 2026 based upon the achievement of certain performance metrics against defined targets for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years. Of the $120.0 million of deferred consideration, $7.0 million and $7.8 million are contingent upon certain employees’ continued employment on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively. These amounts are accounted for as compensation expense for post-combination services. The deferred and contingent consideration liabilities will be reevaluated periodically, but at least quarterly, to assess the impact of the passage of time, continued employment, and achievement of certain performance metrics against defined targets, as applicable. The resulting gains or additional expense related to the passage of time are recognized within interest expense, net and the resulting gains or additional expense related to continued employment and achievement of certain performance metrics against defined targets are recognized within general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the deferred consideration was $96.3 million. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the deferred consideration was $98.1 million, resulting in the recognition of expense of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the deferred consideration is $101.8 million, resulting in the recognition of expense of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The current portion of the deferred consideration of $46.1 million, of which $2.2 million is contingent upon continued employment, is included in “current deferred consideration” and the non-current portion of $55.7 million, of which $1.2 million is contingent upon continued employment, is included in “non-current deferred consideration” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025. The current portion of the deferred consideration of $44.5 million, of which $0.8 million is contingent upon continued employment, is included in “current deferred consideration” and the non-current portion of $53.7 million, of which $0.4 million is contingent upon continued employment, is included in “non-current deferred consideration” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $16.6 million. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $14.1 million, resulting in the recognition of a gain of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the contingent consideration is $14.8 million, resulting in the recognition of expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The contingent consideration is included in “current contingent consideration” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025. The current portion of the contingent consideration of $5.5 million is included in “current contingent consideration” and the non-current portion of $8.6 million is included in “other long-term liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024. See Note 6. Fair Value Measurements, Note 7. Accrued Liabilities and Other and Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information regarding the deferred and contingent consideration liabilities.
