Business Acquisitions Completed in 2023

On June 1, 2023, the Company completed the purchase of certain assets of Twilio Inc., including a carved-out workforce of over 50 employees and certain technology and customer relationships, and assumed certain liabilities related to those assets, primarily related to accrued commissions and benefits owed to the acquired employees. The assets acquired were dissimilar assets, with the ability to create inputs and conduct activities to produce a return on the Company’s investment, and, therefore, the acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of a business (“Twilio’s IoT Business”), and not an asset acquisition.

The transaction was funded by an issuance of the Company’s shares of stock, as set forth in the table, below. Transaction costs for legal consulting, accounting, and other related costs incurred in connection with the acquisition were approximately $1.8 million which are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The following table sets forth a summary of the allocation of the consideration transferred, including the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

(in thousands) Fair Value
Fair value of KORE common stock issued to sellers (10,000,000 shares)
$ 14,700 
Total consideration $ 14,700 
Assets acquired:
Intangible assets $ 11,500 
Inventories 326 
Property and equipment 36 
Total Assets acquired $ 11,862 
Liabilities assumed:
Accrued liabilities $ 405 
Total liabilities assumed $ 405 
Net identifiable assets acquired 11,457 
Goodwill (excess of consideration transferred over net identifiable assets acquired) $ 3,243 

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits that the Company expects to achieve as a result of the acquisition of the human capital and assets acquired. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

Consideration of disclosure of unaudited pro forma information
GAAP requires that a publicly traded entity disclose unaudited pro forma information regarding a business acquisition unless the disclosure of such information is impracticable. This disclosure involves a retrospective application of financial information to create factually supportable unaudited pro forma financial statements as of the reporting date, as if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year of acquisition.

The Company believes that the disclosure of pro forma financial information regarding this acquisition is impracticable. As the acquisition was a carve-out of assets, which only meets the definition of a “business acquisition” because of the dissimilarity of the assets acquired and the ability of the acquired workforce to “create outputs” or generate revenue, no internally generated financial statements were made available to the Company. The Company considers any potential for retrospectively presented information regarding revenue, expenses, and income to require assumptions of significant amounts and about Twilio management’s intent in prior periods that cannot be objectively determined or independently substantiated.

The financial results of this acquisition are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss from the date of acquisition and the revenue and net loss so included were deemed impracticable to separate from the Company’s overall results.

Business Acquisitions Completed in 2022

On February 16, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding share capital of Business Mobility Partners, Inc. and Simon IoT LLC which are industry-leading mobility service providers, to expand the Company’s services and solutions within the healthcare and life sciences industries (the “BMP Business Combination Agreement”).

The transaction was funded by available cash and the issuance of the Company’s shares. Transaction costs for legal consulting, accounting, and other related costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of BMP were $1.7 million of which $1.4 million and $0.3 million were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively.

The following table sets forth a summary of the allocation of the consideration transferred for BMP, including the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

(in thousands) Fair Value
Cash, (net of closing cash of $1,995) and working capital adjustments
$ 46,002 
Fair value of KORE Common Stock issued to sellers (4,212,246 shares)
23,295 
Total consideration $ 69,297 
Assets acquired:
Intangible assets $ 28,664 
Accounts receivable 3,303 
Inventories 1,323 
Prepaid expenses and other receivables 976 
Property and equipment 201 
Total assets acquired $ 34,467 
Liabilities assumed:
Deferred tax liabilities $ 7,391 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 2,638 
Total liabilities assumed $ 10,029 
Net identifiable assets acquired 24,438 
Goodwill (excess of consideration transferred over net identifiable assets acquired) $ 44,859 

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits that we expect to achieve as a result of the BMP acquisition. Approximately $7.0 million of the goodwill resulting from the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

The BMP Business Combination Agreement contains customary indemnification terms. Under the BMP Business Combination Agreement, a portion of the cash purchase price, approximately $3.5 million paid at closing was to be held in escrow for a maximum of 18 months from the closing date, to guarantee performance of general representations and warranties regarding closing amounts and to indemnify the Company against any future claims. The financial results of BMP are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss from the date of acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the amounts of revenue and net income included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss were $45.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively.
Unaudited pro forma information

This unaudited pro forma financial information presented is not necessarily indicative of what the operating results would have been if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2021, nor is it indicative of future operating results. The pro forma amounts include the historical operating results of the Company prior to the acquisition, with adjustments factually supportable and directly attributable to the acquisition, primarily related to transaction costs, and the amortization of intangible assets. Had the acquisition of BMP been completed on January 1, 2021, net revenue would have been approximately $274.2 million and net loss would have been approximately $104.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
