Cacheflow, Inc.

 

On October 30, 2024, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Cacheflow Inc. (“Cacheflow”), a B2B subscription billing management and configure, price, quote (“CPQ”) solution. The total cash purchase price for the acquisition was $40.4 million, net of cash acquired. There was approximately $24.5 million of post-combination consideration, which is contingent upon post-acquisition

employment and will be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated statement of operations over a period of two years. The transaction costs associated with the acquisition were approximately $1.4 million and were recorded in general and administrative expense.

 

The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition:

The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired was recorded as goodwill. The Company expects to derive value from Cacheflow’s billing management and CPQ solution by expanding its commerce capabilities to help customers automate revenue management and shorten sales cycles. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.

The intangible asset acquired in the business combination was developed technology and the fair value of the developed technology was estimated to be $4.0 million. The developed technology was valued using a replacement cost approach and the key assumptions include the Company’s estimates of the direct and indirect costs required to replace the asset. The Company began amortizing the acquired technology on the date of acquisition over a period of five years on a straight-line basis. The amortization expense is recorded to cost of professional services and other revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has included the operating results of Cacheflow in its consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. The acquisition did not have a material effect on the revenue or earnings in the consolidated statement of operations for the reporting periods presented. Separate financial results and pro forma financial information for Cacheflow have not been presented as the effect of this acquisition was not material to our financial results.

The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired was recorded as goodwill. The Company expects to derive value from the combination of Clearbit's data asset and HubSpot's AI-powered Smart CRM, as well as through other synergies. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.

The primary intangible asset acquired in the business combination was developed technology and the fair value of the developed technology of $28.9 million was determined based on the estimated present value of expected after-tax cash flows attributable to the technology using an excess earnings method. The Company applied significant estimates and assumptions with respect to forecasted revenue growth rates, the revenue attributable to the acquired intangible asset over its estimated economic life, and the discount rate. The fair values assigned to the other tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the business combination were based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The Company began amortizing the acquired technology on the date of acquisition over a period of five years based on expected future cash flow attributable to the technology. The amortization expense is recorded to cost of subscription revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has included the operating results of Clearbit in its consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. Separate financial results and pro forma financial information for Clearbit have not been presented as the effect of this acquisition was not material to the Company's financial results.
