Acquisitions

Bedrock

On November 14, 2025, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Bedrock Research, Inc. ("Bedrock"), a privately-held company, to acquire the multi-modal geospatial artificial intelligence technology business from Bedrock and the expertise of its key employees. On November 14, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition. The acquisition is expected to expand the Company's downstream solutions offerings, providing customers with comprehensive daily insights into strategic locations worldwide.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was $6.0 million, consisting of $5.4 million in cash and an indemnification holdback liability for cash consideration of $0.6 million.

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition consisted of a $2.1 million developed technology intangible asset and $3.9 million of goodwill. The developed technology was measured at fair value and was assigned an estimated useful life of 5 years. The goodwill primarily represents the value expected from the synergies created through the operational enhancement benefits resulting from the integration of Bedrock into the Company and the combination of Bedrock's solutions with the Company’s existing products. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The financial results of Bedrock are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related costs associated with this transaction were not material. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented as the effect of this acquisition was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

On August 4, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was approximately $41.1 million, and consisted of the following:

The common stock issued consisted of 6,745,438 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The fair value of the Class A common stock was determined based on the closing market price on the date of the acquisition.

In April 2024, the Company paid $1.1 million of additional consideration in connection with the finalization of the net working capital adjustment relating to the Company’s acquisition of Sinergise. The additional amount was accounted for as a measurement period adjustment and resulted in a $1.1 million addition of goodwill during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.

Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement, the Company placed $5.0 million of cash consideration into an escrow account to secure potential indemnification obligations and any customary post-closing adjustments for

working capital and indebtedness (the “Indemnity Escrow”). The amount held in the escrow account is to be released to Sinergise upon the two-year anniversary of the acquisition close date. The Company recorded a liability of $5.0 million for the Indemnity Escrow.

Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement, the Company placed an additional $7.5 million of cash consideration into an escrow account related to obtaining customer consent for a contract acquired in connection with the acquisition (the “Customer Consent Escrow”). The amount held in the escrow account is to be released to Sinergise upon the Company receiving evidence of the customer consent. If evidence of the customer consent is not received on or prior to the two year anniversary of the acquisition close date, the amount held in the Customer Consent Escrow is to be released to the Company. Additionally, the amount held in the Customer Consent Escrow is to be released to the Company if the customer contract is terminated or suspended on or prior to the two year anniversary of the acquisition close date. The Company determined that the customer consent contingency represents contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability as of the acquisition date was determined to be $5.8 million. Refer to Note 4 for information relating to the valuation of the Customer Consent Escrow contingent consideration.

Cash held in escrow related to the acquisition is recorded within restricted cash and cash equivalents in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The identifiable intangible assets were measured at fair value. The developed technology was valued using the royalty method under the income approach. The customer relationships were valued using the excess earnings method under the income approach. The developed technology was assigned an estimated useful life of 8 years and the customer relationships were assigned an estimated useful life of 9 years.

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of other assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill primarily represents the value expected from the synergies created through the operational enhancement benefits resulting from the integration of Sinergise into the Company and the combination of Sinergise’s products and solutions with the Company’s existing products. Approximately $0.7 million of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The financial results of Sinergise are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, which was August 4, 2023. For the period from August 4, 2023 through January 31, 2024, Sinergise contributed $5.7 million of revenue and an immaterial amount of income before taxes. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented as the effect of this acquisition was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition-related costs associated with the transaction were $2.2 million and $0.9 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These costs were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Certain employees of Sinergise, which became employees of the Company, were paid cash transaction bonuses totaling $2.3 million in connection with the closing of the acquisition. The transaction bonuses were accounted for as a transaction separate from the business combination. Accordingly, $2.3 million of the consideration paid by the Company was allocated to the transaction bonuses and was recorded within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as summarized in the table below:

The acquisition allows the Company to further develop its offerings and enable customers to quantify carbon stocks globally, monitor forest change, and mitigate climate risks. The fair value of the consideration transferred on the acquisition date was $11.8 million, consisting of $3.8 million in cash, net of cash acquired and $8.0 million of liabilities recognized for contingent consideration arrangements.

(1) Deferred revenue represents contract liabilities assumed by the Company for contracts with customers acquired in the acquisition. The Company applied the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers to recognize and measure the deferred revenue on the acquisition date.

The identifiable intangible assets were measured at fair value. The developed technology was valued using the royalty method under the income approach. The customer relationships were valued using the excess earnings method under the income approach. These models primarily utilized Level 3 inputs, including estimated projections of revenues and expenses, estimated discount rates, and with respect to the developed technology, an estimated royalty rate.

The customer relationships were assigned an estimated useful life of 5 years and the developed technology was assigned an estimated useful life of 7 years.

The goodwill primarily represents the value expected from the synergies created through the operational enhancement benefits resulting from the integration of Salo into the Company and the combination of Salo’s solutions with the Company’s existing products. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The financial results of Salo are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related costs associated with this transaction were not material. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented as the effect of this acquisition was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

The purchase agreement for the Salo acquisition includes two contingent consideration arrangements. One arrangement contingently obligates the Company to make payments based on the achievement of certain technical milestones relating to the integration of Salo. The other arrangement contingently obligates the Company to make earnout payments based on the amount of cash collected by the Company under certain of Salo’s existing and prospective customer contracts.

The technical milestone payments consist of two equal milestone payments for aggregate payments of up to $6.5 million. The first milestone payment becomes payable if certain technical milestones are achieved within the first two years following the closing of the acquisition and the second milestone payment becomes payable if certain additional technical milestones are achieved within the first four years following the closing of the acquisition. Each of the payments becomes payable following the end of respective performance periods.

The customer contract earnout payments are paid on the basis of 80% of cash collected by the Company under certain of Salo’s existing and prospective customer contracts during the first four years following the closing of the acquisition with such payments made on quarterly basis following collections under the customer contracts. The maximum amount payable for the earnout payments is $10.4 million.

The aggregate fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities on the acquisition date was determined to be $8.0 million, consisting of $4.4 million for the technical milestone payments and $3.6 million for the customer contract earnout payments. The Company will continue to measure the contingent consideration liabilities at fair value each reporting period until the earlier of when the full amounts have been paid or the measurement period for each of the arrangements has ended. See Note 4 for details of the fair value measurement for the contingent consideration liabilities.
