Investments in Privately Held Companies

On May 20, 2022, the Company acquired a 25.0% interest in a privately held company for cash consideration of $5.0 million. Subject to the occurrence of certain conditions, the Company agreed to invest up to an additional $10.0 million for additional units in the future. The Company uses the equity method of accounting to record its portion of this privately held company's net income or loss on a one quarter lag from the actual results of operations. The Company uses the equity method of accounting because of its less than 50% ownership interest and lack of control and does not otherwise exercise control over the significant economic and operating decisions of the privately held company.

On September 2, 2022, the Company acquired additional membership units in a privately held company in which the Company already had an approximate 43% ownership interest for $8.4 million which increased its ownership interest to 48%. The Company uses the equity method of accounting to record its portion of this privately held company's net income or loss on a one quarter lag from the actual results of operations. After this unit purchase, the Company's investment in this privately held company exceeded its proportionate share of its net assets by approximately $7.8 million, which represents amortizable intangible assets. The Company will recognize amortization of this basis difference prospectively over a period of 5 years. This amortization will be included within Envestnet's proportional share of income (loss) in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with the 401kplans.com acquisition, the Company paid estimated consideration of $14.5 million, net of cash acquired, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company funded the acquisition with available cash resources.
