Note 10. Acquisitions

On August 2, 2022, we entered into a series of Purchase Agreements with one of our Asia pacific channel partners, PM Control PLC (the “PM Agreements”). Pursuant to the PM Agreements, we agreed to acquire business assets and shares of stock of PM Control PLC and its affiliates (collectively, “PM Control”), for a total consideration (net of a working capital adjustment, excluding cash acquired from the acquisition, and including the settlement of pre‐existing relationships) of

$21,421 (the “PM Acquisition”). The PM Acquisition closed on August 31, 2022 (the “PM Closing”), and PM Control PLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company at that time.

ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), provides a framework to account for acquisition transactions under U.S. GAAP. The purchase price of PM Control, prepared consistent with the required ASC 805 framework, is allocated as follows:

Cash paid to Sellers

Less acquired cash and restricted cash

 

 

(1,341

Plus settlement of pre-existing relationships

Total purchase price

 

$

21,421

 

The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was finalized as of June 30, 2023 using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were recorded at their acquisition date fair values, while transaction costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred. Woodward’s allocation was based on an evaluation of the appropriate fair values and represents management’s best estimate.

The following table summarizes, which is final as of June 30, 2023, the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the PM Closing:

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, we made certain measurement period adjustments to the acquired assets and the assumed liabilities due to clarification of information utilized to determine fair value during the measurement period. The measurement period adjustment was related to the PM Control trade name. Management determined that the PM Control trade name would no longer be used after calendar year 2023, thus resulting in a measurement period adjustment of $1,042, which reduced intangible assets and increased goodwill. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2023, a working capital adjustment was made that resulted in a reduction of goodwill of $863.

The final purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $8,705 of goodwill, which is expected to be non‐deductible for tax purposes. The Company has included all the goodwill in its Industrial segment. The goodwill represents the estimated value of potential expansion with new customers, the opportunity to further develop sales opportunities with new customers, and other synergies expected to be achieved through the integration of PM Control with Woodward’s Industrial segment.

Future amortization expense associated with the acquired intangibles for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, is expected to be $1,191, $865 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, and $757 for the next three fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2026, and 2027.

We have not presented pro forma results because the PM Acquisition was not deemed significant at the date of PM Closing.
