ACQUISITION

ACQUISITION

On March 12, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Alfamation S.p.A., an Italian joint-stock company. Alfamation™ is a leading global provider of state-of-the-art test and measurement solutions for the auto/EV, life sciences and specialty consumer electronics markets. Alfamation™ is included in our Electronic Test operating segment. The acquisition of Alfamation™ deepens our presence in the auto/EV and life science markets, expands our exposure in consumer electronics, extends our geographic reach with a sizable footprint in Europe, and widens our portfolio of products and solutions. Additionally, we believe Alfamation™ brings engineering talent and a management team that culturally aligns

with our mission to provide innovative, engineered solutions that address the high-value challenges of our customers. The aggregate purchase price was approximately €20.0 million comprised of: (i) €18.0 million, or $19.7 million, in cash; and (ii) 187,432 shares of our common stock, valued at $2.1 million based on the closing price of our stock on the date of acquisition. The cash portion of the purchase price was subject to customary working capital adjustments. These adjustments were finalized in June 2024 and resulted in recording an additional €0.1 million, or $0.1 million, in purchase price for assets delivered at closing in excess of agreed upon thresholds. The liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition included debt of approximately €10.3 million, or $11.3 million. The debt assumed is discussed further in “Note (10) Debt.” Total acquisition costs incurred to complete this transaction were $1.2 million. Acquisition costs were expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expense.

The acquisition of Alfamation™ has been accounted for as a business combination using purchase accounting, and, accordingly, the results of Alfamation™ have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. During the fourth quarter of 2024 we completed our allocation of the estimated fair values as of March 12, 2024, with final adjustments made primarily to inventories, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. The “inventory step-up” of approximately $1.6 million was the most significant adjustment. Partially offsetting the decrease in customer backlog were increases to acquired technology and customer relationships. Other less significant changes affected property and equipment, other current assets, accrued expenses and deferred tax liability. The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable intangible and net tangible assets was allocated to goodwill and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is attributed to synergies that are expected to result from the operations of the combined businesses.

The total purchase price of $21.9 million has been allocated as follows:

(in thousands)	March 12, 2024
Goodwill	$	9,883
Identifiable intangible assets	13,332
Tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash	1,088
Trade accounts receivable	6,061
Inventories	13,117
Other current assets	1,468
Property and equipment	1,739
Other assets	1,755
Accounts payable	(4,669)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	(5,221)
Deferred tax liability	(2,326)
Debt (current and long-term)	(11,274)
Other non-current liabilities	(3,052)
Total purchase price	$	21,901

We estimated the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired using the income approach. Identifiable intangible assets acquired include customer relationships, customer backlog, technology and a trade name. We are amortizing the finite-lived intangible assets acquired over their estimated useful lives based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are expected to be consumed.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of Alfamation™’s identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives as of the acquisition date:

	Fair Value		Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life
(in thousands except lives)			(in years)
Finite-lived intangible assets:
Customer relationships	$	8,196	20.0
Technology	3,169		10.0
Total finite-lived intangible assets	11,365
Indefinite-lived intangible assets:
Trade name	1,967
Total intangible assets	$	13,332

The following unaudited pro forma information gives effect to the acquisition of Alfamation™ as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024. These proforma summaries do not reflect any operating efficiencies or costs savings that may be achieved by the combined businesses. These proforma summaries are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the acquisition taken place as of that date, nor are they indicative of future consolidated results of operations:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands except per share data)	2025		2024
Revenue	$	54,767	$	68,743
Net (loss) earnings	$	(2,832)	$	710
Diluted (loss) earnings per share	$	(0.23)	$	0.06

The pro forma results shown above do not reflect the impact on general and administrative expense of investment advisory costs, legal costs and other costs of $1.2 million incurred by us as a direct result of the transaction.

In connection with the acquisition, we have entered into a lease agreement (the “Alfamation Lease Agreement”) with the former owner of Alfamation™ who will continue to serve as the managing director of Alfamation™ under our ownership. The Alfamation Lease Agreement commenced on March 12, 2024, and will last for six years. It will be automatically renewed for the same period of time unless terminated by either party. Under the terms of the Alfamation Lease Agreement, Alfamation™ will lease warehouse and office space totaling about 52 thousand square feet. Alfamation™ will pay a yearly lease payment of €0.3 million broken up into two equal payments. At the date of the signing of the Alfamation Lease Agreement, the yearly lease payment equated to approximately $0.3 million.
