Acquisitions

4RF Limited

On July 2, 2024, the Company acquired 4RF Limited (“4RF”), a New Zealand company. Aviat purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of 4RF in an all-cash transaction for $18.2 million, net of $1.2 million cash acquired. 4RF is a leading provider of industrial wireless access solutions, including narrowband point-to-point/multi-point radios and Private LTE and 5G routers. The acquisition of 4RF allows Aviat to expand its product offering for the global industrial wireless access markets including Private LTE/5G.

The 4RF acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company finalized purchase accounting adjustments for the valuation of intangible and tangible assets acquired. The fair value of the acquired intangible assets are based on estimates and assumptions that are considered reasonable to the Company.

A summary of the finalized purchase price allocation is as follows:

(In thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,215
Accounts receivable, net	2,575
Inventories	5,123
Property, plant and equipment, net	235
Identifiable finite-lived intangible assets:
Customer relationships	7,100
Technology	1,800
Trade names	300
Other assets	4,647
Accounts payable	(5,104)
Advance payments and unearned revenue	(323)
Other liabilities	(2,202)
Goodwill	3,999
Net assets acquired	$	19,365

The final purchase price allocation was updated during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 for certain measurement period adjustments based on revised estimates of fair value, which primarily resulted in a $1.7 million decrease to inventories, a $1.1 million increase in other assets, a $0.4 million increase in identifiable intangible assets and a $0.3 million increase to goodwill. The goodwill from this acquisition is non-deductible for tax purposes.

NEC’s Wireless Transport Business

On May 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Master Sale of Business Agreement (as amended on November 30, 2023, the “Purchase Agreement”) with NEC Corporation (“NEC”) to acquire NEC’s wireless transport business (the “NEC Transaction”). The Company completed the NEC Transaction on November 30, 2023.

Prior to the acquisition date, NEC was a leader in wireless backhaul networks with an extensive installed base of their Pasolink series products. The completion of the NEC Transaction increases the scale of Aviat, enhances the Company’s product portfolio with a greater capability to innovate, and creates a more diversified business. The results of operations of the NEC Transaction have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

The fair value of the consideration transferred at the closing of the NEC Transaction was comprised of (i) cash of $32.2 million, and (ii) the issuance of 736,750 shares or $22.3 million of common stock of the Company. The fair value of the shares issued was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date. Aggregate consideration transferred at closing was approximately $54.5 million, which was subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company funded the cash portion of the consideration with Term Loan borrowings under its Credit Facility. Refer to Note 6. Credit Facility and Debt for further information.

In the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2025, the Company transferred consideration of $5.8 million and $12.7 million, respectively, to settle the post-closing working capital adjustment.
