Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
ACQUISITIONS ACQUISITIONS
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 acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of a business (“Twilio’s IoT Business”).
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 nil and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, which are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for those periods.
The following table sets forth a summary of the allocation of the consideration transferred, including the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
($ 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:
Inventory $ 326 
Property and equipment 36 
Intangible assets 11,500 
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. 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 information as of the reporting date, as if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year prior to that of acquisition.
The Company believes that the disclosure of pro forma financial information regarding this acquisition is impracticable because the acquisition was a carve-out of assets and no internally generated financial statements were made available to the Company. The Company considers any potential for retrospectively presented information regarding revenue and net 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss from the date of acquisition and the revenue and net loss so included were not deemed material.
Business Acquisitions Completed in 2022
On February 16, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding share capital (the “BMP Business Combination”) of Business Mobility Partners, Inc. and Simon IoT LLC (collectively, the “Acquired Companies”).
The transaction was funded by available cash and an issuance of the Company’s shares of stock. Transaction costs for legal, consulting, accounting, and other related costs incurred in connection with the acquisition were $1.7 million, of which $0.3 million was incurred prior to 2022. Included in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, were nil and $1.4 million, respectively, of transaction costs, which were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for those periods.
The following table sets forth a summary of the allocation of the consideration transferred for the Acquired Companies, including the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
($ in thousands unless otherwise noted) Fair Value
Cash, (net of closing cash of approximately $2.0 million) 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:
Accounts receivable $ 3,303 
Inventory 1,323 
Prepaid expenses and other receivables 976 
Property and equipment 201 
Intangible assets 28,664 
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 the Company expects to achieve as a result of the acquisition. A portion of the goodwill resulting from the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.
The acquisition agreement included customary indemnification terms. In accordance with the acquisition agreement, approximately $3.5 million of the cash purchase price paid at closing was held in escrow for a maximum of 18 months from the closing date, to guarantee the performance of general representations and warranties regarding closing amounts and to indemnify the Company against any future claims. Payments from the escrow account did not result in any adjustments to the purchase price. Substantially all cash had been paid from the escrow account as of September 30, 2023.
The financial results of the Acquired Companies are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss from the date of acquisition. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the amounts of revenue and net income included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss were $14.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the amounts of revenue and net income included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss were $35.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively.
Unaudited pro forma information

Had the BMP Business Combination been completed on January 1, 2021, net revenue would have been $211.8 million and the net loss would have been $34.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The pro forma net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, includes a non-recurring pro forma adjustment relating to the acquisition-related costs of $1.4 million. Net revenue and net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022, would have been unaffected by any pro forma adjustments, as the BMP Business Combination was completed in the first quarter of 2022.
The unaudited pro forma financial information presented above is not necessarily indicative of what the operating results actually would have been had the acquisition 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.
