Effective 1 April 2020, Analysys Mason acquired 100% of the shares in Allolio&Konrad for US$7.8 million. The consideration paid included US$6.7 million to settle debt of Allolio&Konrad with the seller. Allolio&Konrad is a consultancy based in Bonn, Germany with an extensive track record in the telecommunications industry and long-term client relationships with Europe’s leading telecom operators. The acquisition accounting has been finalised at the reporting date. Acquisition-related costs of US$0.3 million have been incurred.

Effective 4 November 2020, Logicalis Asia acquired 65% of the shares in iZeno Private Limited (“iZeno”) for a cash consideration of US$8.2 million. A specialist in Digital Transformation solutions based in Singapore, iZeno has additional operations in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Acquisition-related costs of US$0.2 million have been incurred.

As a result of these two acquisitions referred to above, goodwill and other intangible assets increased by US$9.5 million and US$7.6 million respectively. The fair value assessment of assets and liabilities acquired and the amounts recognised as goodwill and intangible assets have been finalised at year end. None of the goodwill recognised is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The revenue and EBITDA included from these acquisitions in FY21 were US$16.4 million and US$4.1 million respectively; profit after tax included from these acquisitions was US$2.2 million. Had the acquisition date been 1 March 2020, the revenue and EBITDA would have been approximately US$25.7 million and US$5.9 million respectively. Profit after tax for the full year would have been approximately US$3.5 million.
