Fiscal 2027 Acquisitions

On March 11, 2026, Descartes acquired all of the shares of Utordo Ltd., doing business as OrderMine (“OrderMine”), a UK-based provider of AI-powered forecasting and demand planning solutions designed to support ecommerce businesses across their growth lifecycle. The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $2.3 million (GBP 1.7 million), net of cash acquired, which was funded from cash on hand, plus potential performance-based contingent consideration of up to $1.0 million (GBP 0.8 million) based on

OrderMine achieving revenue-based targets over the first two years post-acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration was valued at $1.0 million at the acquisition date. The gross contractual amount of trade receivables acquired was nominal with a nominal fair value at the date of acquisition. Our acquisition date estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected was nominal. The completion of the initial purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the fair value for trade receivables, accrued liability balances, deferred revenue as well as potential unrecorded liabilities. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation on or before March 11, 2027.

On April 22, 2026, Descartes acquired all of the shares of Idelic Inc. (“Idelic”), a provider of AI-powered driver safety and performance management solutions. The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $25.3 million, which was funded from cash on hand, plus potential performance-based contingent consideration of up to $12.0 million based on Idelic achieving revenue-based targets over the first two years post-acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration was valued at $2.8 million at the acquisition date. The gross contractual amount of trade receivables acquired was $1.0 million with a fair value of $0.6 million at the date of acquisition. Our acquisition date estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected was $0.4 million. The completion of the initial purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the fair value for trade receivables, deferred tax assets, intangible assets, accrued liability balances, deferred revenue as well as potential unrecorded liabilities. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation on or before April 22, 2027.

On July 2, 2026, Descartes acquired all of the shares of Drivin SpA and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Drivin”), a provider of last mile delivery management solutions across Latin America. The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $29.5 million, net of cash acquired, which was funded from cash on hand, plus potential performance-based contingent consideration of up to $5.0 million based on Drivin achieving revenue-based targets over the first two years post-acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration was valued at $2.7 million at the acquisition date. The gross contractual amount of trade receivables acquired was $2.1 million with a fair value of $2.1 million at the date of acquisition. Our acquisition date estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected was nominal. The completion of the initial purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the fair value for trade receivables, deferred tax assets, intangible assets, accrued liability balances, deferred revenue as well as potential unrecorded liabilities. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation on or before July 2, 2027.

For the businesses acquired during fiscal 2027, we incurred acquisition-related costs of $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2026, respectively. The acquisition-related costs were primarily for advisory services and are included in other charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2026, we have recognized revenues of $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and a net loss of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, from OrderMine, Idelic and Drivin since the date of acquisition in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
