FinaConnect, Inc.

On February 1, 2016 Envestnet acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of FinaConnect, Inc. (“FinaConnect”).  FinaConnect is a software as a services (SaaS) platform that provides reporting and practice management capabilities to financial professional servicing the retirement plan market and is the technology platform supporting the ERS service offering.  FinaConnect is included in the Envestnet segment.

The Company acquired FinaConnect with plans to combine the FinaConnect assets with ERS.  In addition to adding the client list serviced directly by FinaConnect, the goodwill arising from the acquisition represents the advantage of ownership of the technology powering the ERS solution, removal of ongoing licensing payments made to FinaConnect and the full integration of the knowledge and experience of the FinaConnect workforce. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

 

In connection with the acquisition of FinaConnect, the Company paid upfront cash consideration of $6,425 and Company is required to pay contingent consideration of four times the incremental revenue on a certain book of business for the next two years, not to exceed a total amount of $3,500.

The estimated fair values of certain working capital balances, contingent consideration, deferred revenue, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of these provisional items are based on certain internal valuations and are not yet at the point where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The Company believes the preliminary information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of these amounts, but is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, provisional measurements of fair values reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of contingent consideration, deferred revenue, deferred income taxes and intangible assets, and complete the acquisition accounting as soon as practicable but no later than January 31, 2017.

Castle Rock Innovations, Inc.

On August 30, 2015, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Castle Rock Innovations, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Castle Rock”). Castle Rock provides data aggregation and plan benchmark solutions to retirement plan record-keepers, broker-dealers, and advisors.

The Company acquired Castle Rock with plans to combine the Castle Rock offering into ERS.  Castle Rock’s AXIS Retirement Plan Analytics Platform enables retirement plan fiduciaries to comply with 408(b)(2) and 404a-5 regulatory fee disclosure reporting requirements. The AXIS platform offers a single web-based interface and data repository to service the reporting needs of all types of retirement plans, and can be integrated with all record-keeping systems. AXIS also includes features for editing and generating reports for filings, reporting plan expenses, and comparing retirement plans and participants to those of their peers by industry, company size, and other characteristics. The goodwill arising from the acquisition represents the expected synergistic benefits of the transaction and the knowledge and experience of the workforce in place. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

In connection with the acquisition of Castle Rock, the Company is required to pay contingent consideration of 40% of the first annual post-closing period revenues minus $100,  35% of the second annual post-closing period revenue minus $100 and 30% of the third annual post-closing period revenue minus $100. The Company recorded a preliminary estimated liability as of the date of acquisition of $1,500, which represented the estimated fair value of contingent consideration on the date of acquisition and is considered a Level III fair value measurement as described in Note 8.

The preliminary estimated fair value of contingent consideration as of March 31, 2016 was $1,500. This amount is the present value of an undiscounted liability of $1,600, applying a discount rate of 2.7%,  3.0%, and 3.3% to the first, second, and third post-closing periods, respectively.  The first, second and third undiscounted payments are anticipated to be $714 on September 30, 2016, $603 on September 30, 2017, and $275 on September 30, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company made a fair market value upward adjustment on the contingent consideration of $200 and that adjustment is included in general and administration expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The estimated fair values of certain working capital balances, contingent consideration, deferred revenue, deferred income taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of these provisional items are based on certain valuation and other studies and are in progress and not yet at the point where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The Company believes the preliminary information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of these amounts, but is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, provisional measurements of fair values reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of contingent consideration, deferred revenue, deferred income taxes and intangible assets, and complete the acquisition accounting as soon as practicable but no later than August 30, 2016.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, acquisition related costs for Castle Rock totaled $44, respectively, and are included in general and administration expenses. The Company may incur additional acquisition related costs during 2016.

 

 On September 1, 2015, ERS accepted the subscription of certain former owners of Castle Rock (the “Castle Rock Parties”) to purchase a 6.5% ownership interest of ERS for $900.  The Castle Rock Parties have the right to require ERS to repurchase units issued pursuant to the subscription in approximately 36 months after September 1, 2015 for the amount of $900.  This purchase obligation is guaranteed by the Company and is reflected outside of permanent equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  Subsequent to the subscription of the Castle Rock Parties, the Company’s ownership interest in ERS was 54.8%.  

 

Yodlee, Inc.

 

On November 19, 2015, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated August 10, 2015, among Yodlee, the Company and Yale Merger Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet, Merger Sub was merged (the “Merger”) with and into Yodlee with Yodlee continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet.

 

Yodlee, operating as Envestnet | Yodlee, is a leading data aggregation and data analytics platform powering dynamic, cloud-based innovation for digital financial services. Yodlee powers digital financial solutions for over 21 million paid subscribers and over 1,000 financial institutions, financial technology innovators and financial advisory firms. Founded in 1999, the company has built a network of over 14,500 data sources and been awarded 76 patents.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Yodlee stockholders received $11.51 in cash and 0.1889 of a share of Envestnet common stock per Yodlee share.  Based upon the volume weighted average price per share of Envestnet common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on (and including) November 17, 2015, the second trading day immediately prior to completion of the Merger, Yodlee stockholders received total consideration with a value of $17.49 per share.

Net cash consideration totaled approximately $375,658 and the Company issued approximately 5,974,000 shares of Envestnet common stock to Yodlee stockholders in the Merger.  Holders of 577,829 shares of Yodlee common stock exercised their statutory appraisal rights under Delaware law.  As of December 31, 2015 the Company recognized a liability in the amount of $10,061, which represented $17.49 in cash for each share of Yodlee common stock held by them.  Although the Company believed the fair value of these shares did not exceed the consideration paid in the Acquisition, nevertheless, during the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company settled the appraisal claim in order to avoid the costs, uncertainties, disruptions and distraction of potential litigation.  The difference between the liability as of December 31, 2015 and the settlement amount resulted in an increase to goodwill and total consideration paid.

The Company acquired Yodlee to enhance the Company’s wealth management solutions with a deeply integrated data aggregation capability, expand the Company’s addressable market by delivering the Company’s wealth management solutions to Yodlee’s clients and partners, and benefit from the revenue potential resulting from Yodlee’s fast growing data analytics solutions.

The goodwill arising from the acquisition represents the expected synergistic benefits of the transaction, primarily related to an increase in future revenues as a result of potential cross selling opportunities and new lines of business, as well as lower future operating expenses.  The goodwill is also related to the knowledge and experience of the workforce in place. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

In connection with the Yodlee merger, the Company issued 1,052,000 shares of Envestnet restricted stock awards (“replacement awards”) issued in connection with unvested Yodlee employee equity awards. The Yodlee unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock units were canceled and exchanged for the replacement awards. In accordance with ASC 805, these awards are considered to be replacement awards. Exchanges of share options or other share-based payment awards in conjunction with a business combination are modifications of share-based payment awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718. As a result, a portion of the fair-value-based measure of Envestnet’s replacement awards are included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. To determine the portion of the replacement award that is part of consideration transferred to acquire Yodlee, we have measured both the replacement awards granted by Envestnet and the historical Yodlee awards as of November 19, 2015 in accordance with ASC 718. The portion of the fair-value-based measure of the replacement award that is part of the consideration transferred in exchange for the acquisition of Yodlee, equals the portion of the Yodlee award that is attributable to pre combination service. Envestnet is attributing a portion of the replacement awards to post combination service as these awards require post combination service. The fair value of the replacement awards was estimated to be $32,836 of which $4,318 was attributable to pre-acquisition services. The remaining fair value of $28,518 will be amortized over a period of 43 months subsequent to the acquisition date.

The estimated fair values of certain working capital balances, property and equipment, deferred revenue, deferred income taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, attribution of the fair market value of replacement awards, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of these provisional items are based on certain valuation and other studies and are in progress and not yet at the point where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The Company believes the preliminary information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of these amounts, but is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, provisional measurements of fair values reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of tangible assets and liabilities, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill and complete the acquisition accounting as soon as practicable but no later than September 30, 2016.
