On October 2, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the product rights for Durepair Regeneration Matrix (“Durepair”), a non-synthetic dura substitute for repair of the dura mater during neurosurgical procedures, from Medtronic plc for total consideration of $45.0 million. The Company made a cash payment of $10.0 million upon the closing of the acquisition and will make additional cash payments of $15.0 million upon the first anniversary of the acquisition and $20.0 million upon the second anniversary of the acquisition. The additional cash payments to be paid in October 2025 and October 2026 were included at their present values in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, as of June 30, 2025.

The acquisition of the product rights for Durepair, which consist of certain patents and trademarks, regulatory approvals, and other records, has been accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with FASB Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) as the acquisition does not include an assembled workforce and substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable intangible asset.

On April 1, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Acclarent, Inc. (“Acclarent”), a developer and marketer of medical devices used in ear, nose, throat (“ENT”) procedures, from Ethicon, Inc., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, for approximately $282.0 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments set forth in the purchase agreement related to working capital balances transferred to the Company. In the second half of 2024, the Company finalized and settled the working capital adjustment in the amount of $4.2 million, which resulted in a reduction to goodwill and also recognized a measurement period adjustment to recognize deferred tax liabilities of $1.1 million with a corresponding increase to goodwill as a result of a change to the estimated deferred tax rate applied and the book-to-tax difference associated with fixed assets acquired.

The addition of Acclarent’s ENT product portfolio, including sinus balloon dilation, eustachian tube balloon dilation, and surgical navigation systems technologies, and dedicated salesforce will enhance the Company’s position in the ENT specialty device market. Acclarent’s results of operations have been reported in the Company’s Codman Specialty Surgical reportable segment from the date of acquisition.

The Acclarent acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.

The carrying value of trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, contract liabilities, accrued compensation, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, as well as certain other current and non-current assets and liabilities, generally represented the fair value at the date of acquisition.

The estimated fair value of the intangible assets acquired was determined using the multi-period, excess earnings method of the income approach, which estimates value based on the present value of future economic benefits attributable to the intangible assets. The significant assumptions used in developing the valuation included the estimated annual net cash flows including application of revenue growth rates, cost of sales, the discount rate that appropriately reflects the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, obsolescence rate, and an assessment of the asset’s life cycle, as well as other factors. The assumptions used in the financial forecasts were based on historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated growth rates, management plans, and market-comparable information. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. The intangible assets acquired have a weighted average useful life of 11 years.

The Company used a discount rate of 12.2% to arrive at the present value for the acquired intangible assets to reflect the rate of return a market participant would expect to earn and incremental commercial uncertainty in the cash flow projections. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

Goodwill is the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected synergies of the combined company and assembled workforce. Goodwill has been allocated to the Codman Specialty Surgical segment, as shown in Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition is non-deductible for income tax purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities result from identifiable intangible assets’ fair value adjustments. These adjustments create excess book basis over tax basis which is tax-effected by the statutory tax rates of applicable jurisdictions.
