UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On August 1, 2024, Yext, Inc. (“Yext”, or the “Company”) completed its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Hearsay Social, Inc. (“Hearsay”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented below is derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Yext and the historical consolidated financial statements of Hearsay adjusted, to give effect to the Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X using the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been adjusted to include adjustments, which reflect the application of the accounting required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and linking the effects of the Acquisition to the historical combined financial statements (“Transaction Adjustments”).
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of April 30, 2024, gives pro forma effect to the Acquisition as if it had been completed on April 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2024 and for the year ended January 31, 2024 give pro forma effect to the Acquisition as if it had been completed on February 1, 2023. The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31, while Hearsay’s fiscal year ends on December 31. While a one month difference in fiscal year ends exists, no adjustment for this difference was made in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet or unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet includes Hearsay’s financial information as of March 31, 2024 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations include the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the Acquisition had been completed as of the dates indicated in each pro forma presentation, nor is it indicative of the future combined results of operations or financial position of the Company. Further, Transaction Adjustments represent management’s best estimates based on information available as of the date of this filing and are subject to change as additional information becomes available.
The pro forma adjustments reflecting the completion of the Acquisition in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the assumptions and adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes. The application of the acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to be completed. Accordingly, the acquisition adjustments included in the pro forma information are preliminary, subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma combined financial information. There can be no assurances that the final valuations will not result in material changes to the preliminary estimated purchase price allocation. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the Acquisition or any integration costs. The actual results reported in periods following the Acquisition may differ significantly from those reflected in this pro forma financial information presented herein for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare this pro forma financial information and actual results.
The assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited adjustments to the pro forma combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read together with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and accompanying notes are based on and should be read in conjunction with (i) Yext’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024, (ii) Yext’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended April 30, 2024, (iii) the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Hearsay as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are
included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A., and (iv) the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hearsay for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which are included in Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

Notes To Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Description of the Acquisition
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and presents the pro forma financial condition and results of operations based upon the historical financial information after giving effect to the Acquisition and related adjustments set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of April 30, 2024, gives pro forma effect to the Acquisition as if it had been completed on April 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2024, and for the year ended January 31, 2024 give pro forma effect to the Acquisition as if it had been completed on February 1, 2023. The historical financial statements of Yext and Hearsay have been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition, and where management believes there is a reasonable and supportable basis for the adjustment.
Description of the Acquisition
On June 10, 2024, Yext entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Hearsay. The Acquisition was completed on August 1, 2024 (the “Closing Date” or “Effective Time”) for total consideration of $187.9 million.
The Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). In accordance with ASC 805, the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed have been measured at fair value based on various estimates and methodologies, including the income and market approaches. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of the identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Under the acquisition method, acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., advisory, legal, valuation and other professional fees) are not included as consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company will recognize the fair value of contingent consideration as of the acquisition date as part of the consideration transferred in exchange for an acquired business. The Company has not yet finalized a valuation analysis of the fair market value of the contingent consideration and the preliminary fair market value was used in the calculation of the preliminary purchase consideration for the Acquisition. The final fair market value of the contingent consideration could differ materially from the preliminary fair market value used to prepare the preliminary purchase consideration.
When determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and contingent consideration, the Company makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to fair value of intangible assets and contingent consideration. These estimates are based on key assumptions related to the Acquisition, including reviews of publicly disclosed information for other acquisitions in the industry, historical experience of the Company, data that was available through the public domain and unobservable inputs, such as historical financial information of the acquiree business.
The Company has not yet finalized a valuation analysis of the fair market value of Hearsay’s assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed, including identifiable intangible assets. Using the estimated total consideration for the Acquisition, the Company has estimated the allocations to such assets and liabilities. This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare the Transaction Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when Yext has determined the final consideration and completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final purchase price allocation could differ materially from the preliminary purchase price allocation used to prepare the Transaction Adjustments. The final purchase price allocation may include (i) changes in allocations to intangible assets or goodwill based on the results of certain valuations that have yet to be finalized, (ii) other changes to assets and liabilities, and (iii) assessment of tax positions and tax rates.
For purposes of measuring the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the Company has applied the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements
(“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies used in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are those set out in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended January 31, 2024. Management has determined that certain adjustments, including those described in Note 4 and 5, are necessary to conform Hearsay’s historical financial statements to the Company’s accounting policies in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The adjustment amounts are subject to change as further assessment is performed and finalized for purchase accounting. These reclassifications and adjustments have no effect on the Company’s previously reported total assets, liabilities or equity, or results of operation.
As part of the application of ASC 805, Yext will continue conducting a detailed review of Hearsay’s accounting policies to determine if differences in accounting policies require further reclassification or adjustment of Hearsay’s results of operations, assets or liabilities to conform to the Company’s accounting policies and classifications. Therefore, the Company may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
Note 3. Preliminary purchase price allocation
Preliminary purchase consideration
The preliminary purchase consideration was comprised of the following (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Cash consideration and liabilities incurred | $ | 134,841 | |
Earnout consideration | 45,200 | |
Rollover equity - exchange of stock awards | 7,825 | |
Total preliminary purchase consideration | $ | 187,866 | |
The total preliminary purchase consideration included $133.1 million paid in cash at closing, which included escrow payments of $17.2 million for indemnity holdback and final cash and net working capital adjustments. The Company is also required to make additional payments of $1.7 million which has been included in the preliminary purchase consideration. This amount relates primarily to post-closing period adjustments determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
In addition, the fair value of contingent consideration of up to $75.0 million was included in the purchase consideration. The final earnout consideration to be paid is dependent on the achievement of certain annual recurring revenue targets over the course of two years beginning in September 2024. The Company preliminarily estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $45.2 million as of the date of the Acquisition using a Monte-Carlo simulation methodology. The fair value of contingent consideration excludes amounts attributable to employees of Hearsay that are subjected to future service to the Company, as these amounts will be recognized as compensation expense in the post-acquisition period.
As part of the Acquisition, Yext also replaced the stock options of Hearsay with restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to receive shares of Yext’s common stock. These RSUs are subjected to the same terms and conditions of the original Hearsay options. Accordingly, the fair value of any Hearsay stock options that were vested at the time of the Acquisition were included in the preliminary purchase consideration. Yext will recognize compensation expenses associated with those RSUs that were not vested and subjected to future service to the Company in the post-acquisition period.
The Company is also required to make additional payments primarily related to a $20.0 million bonus pool that can be settled in cash or shares at the Company’s election. Payments to be made under this bonus plan will be recognized as
compensation expense by the Company in the post-acquisition period as the payments were initiated by Yext and primarily related to continuing employees of Hearsay that are subjected to future service to the Company.
Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The Company performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the estimated fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Acquisition. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the Closing Date (in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Assets | | August 1, 2024 |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 26,365 | |
Accounts receivable, net | | 5,619 | |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | | 8,406 | |
Property and equipment | | 397 | |
Operating lease right-of-use assets | | 414 | |
Goodwill | | 78,502 | |
Intangible assets | | 135,400 | |
Other long term assets | | 94 | |
Total assets acquired | | $ | 255,197 | |
Liabilities | | |
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities | | $ | 15,078 | |
Unearned revenue, current | | 36,123 | |
Operating lease liabilities, current | | 74 | |
Operating lease liabilities, non-current | | 340 | |
Other long term liabilities | | 15,716 | |
Total liabilities assumed | | 67,331 | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 187,866 | |
This estimated preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations. The final purchase price will be completed when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary calculation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include (i) changes in allocations to intangible assets including goodwill, (ii) other changes to assets and liabilities, and (iii) assessment of tax positions and tax rates.
Intangible assets
Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information consist of the following (in thousands, excluding years):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Intangible Assets | | Approximate Fair Value | | Estimated Useful Life |
| | | | (in years) |
Customer relationships | | $ | 117,200 | | | 12.0 |
Technology | | 17,300 | | | 3.0 |
Trademark | | 900 | | | 3.0 |
Total | | $ | 135,400 | | | |
The amortization related to the identifiable intangible assets is reflected as a Transaction Adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations based on the estimated useful lives above and as further described in Note 4. The fair values of the identifiable intangible assets are preliminary and are based on management’s estimates as of the Closing Date. The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method and relief from royalty method, under the income approach. The Company applied judgment in estimating the fair value of customer relationship which involved the use of significant assumptions with respect to revenue growth rates, customer attrition rate, discount rate, and terminal growth rate. The preliminary fair value of the developed technology was estimated using the relief from royalty method which incorporates assumptions for annual obsolescence, royalty rates, tax rate, and discount rate.
As discussed above, the amount that will ultimately be allocated to identifiable intangible assets may differ materially from this preliminary allocation. In addition, the amortization impacts will ultimately be based upon the periods in which the associated economic benefits or detriments are expected to be derived. Therefore, the amount of amortization following the Acquisition may differ significantly between periods based upon the final value and useful life assigned and amortization methodology used for each identifiable intangible asset.
