Observe, Inc.

On February 2, 2026, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Observe, Inc. (Observe), a privately-held company that built an AI-powered observability platform. The Company acquired Observe primarily for its developed technology and talent. The Company has accounted for this transaction as a business combination.

Prior to this business combination, the Company held a noncontrolling equity interest in Observe, which was accounted for using the Measurement Alternative with a carrying amount of $25.0 million (Previously Held Observe Equity Interest). Accordingly, the Company remeasured the Previously Held Observe Equity Interest at the date of the acquisition and recognized a loss of $2.2 million, which is recorded in other expense, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2026.

The acquisition date fair value of the preliminary purchase consideration was $595.8 million, which was comprised of the following (in thousands):

(2)Approximately 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock were included in the purchase consideration and the fair values of these shares were determined based on the closing market price of $190.68 per share on the acquisition date.
(3)The amount was determined based on the closing market price of $190.68 per share on the acquisition date.
(4)The amount represents the effective settlement of outstanding receivables from Observe. No gain or loss was recognized upon settlement as amounts were determined to be reflective of fair market value.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of purchase consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition:

The fair value of the developed technology intangible asset was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach, which utilizes assumptions including projected future revenue generated from the acquired asset, royalty rate, discount rate, and technology migration curve. The fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach, which utilizes assumptions including projected future revenue generated from the acquired asset, projected expenses, and discount rate. The acquired intangible assets had a total weighted-average amortization period of 4.9 years.

The excess of purchase consideration over the preliminary fair values of identifiable net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. The Company believes the goodwill balance associated with this business combination represents the synergies expected from expanded market opportunities when integrating the acquired developed technologies with the Company’s offerings.

Additionally, $212.0 million in RSUs were granted under the 2020 Plan for continuing employees attributable to post-combination services, and are recognized as stock-based compensation over the requisite service period of two or four years.

Acquisition-related costs, recorded as general and administrative expenses, associated with this business combination were not material during the three months ended April 30, 2026.

The results of operations of Observe from the date of acquisition, which were not material, have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2026.
