NOTE 18 — ACQUISITION

Acquisition of Voltrek

Effective on October 5, 2022, Orion acquired all the membership interests of Voltrek, an electric vehicle charging station solutions provider for a purchase price of $5.0 million in cash and $1.0 million of shares of common stock of Orion, subject to normal and customary closing adjustments of $0.9 million (the “Voltrek Acquisition”). In addition, depending upon the relative EBITDA growth of Voltrek’s business in fiscal 2023, 2024 and 2025, Orion could pay up to an additional $3.0 million, $3.5 million and $7.15 million, respectively, in earn-out payments. These compensatory payments do not fall within the scope of ASC 805, Business Combinations, and will be expensed over the course of the earn-out periods to the extent they are earned. As of March 31, 2023, Orion recorded $3.0 million to accrued expenses for the fiscal 2023 earn-out opportunity and an additional $1.0 million to other long-term liabilities for the

cumulative potential earn-out opportunity which would be paid in fiscal 2026. The Voltrek Acquisition was funded with cash and Orion shares. Voltrek operates as Voltrek, an Orion Energy Systems business. The Voltrek Acquisition leverages Orion’s project management and maintenance expertise into a rapidly growing sector.

Orion has accounted for the Voltrek Acquisition as a business combination. Orion has preliminarily allocated the purchase price of approximately $6.9 million to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values is recorded as goodwill. The purchase price and closing adjustments were paid in cash and 620,067 shares of common stock with a total fair market value of $1.0 million, which is recorded in the opening balance sheet at fair value of $0.8 million, the discount on which is due to lock-up requirements on the shares. Orion is in the process of finalizing third party valuations of intangible assets.

Goodwill recorded from the Voltrek Acquisition is attributable to the skillset of the acquired workforce. The goodwill resulting from the Voltrek Acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets include amounts recognized for the fair value of the trade name, vendor relationship and customer relationships.

The tradename intangible asset was valued using a relief from royalty method. The significant assumptions used include the estimated revenue and royalty rate, among other factors.

The vendor relationship intangible asset was valued using the income approach - excess earnings method. The significant assumptions include estimated revenue, cost of goods sold, and probability of renewal, among other factors.

The customer relationship intangible asset was valued using the income approach - with-and-without method. The significant assumptions include estimated cash flows (including appropriate revenue, cost of revenue and operating expenses attributable to the asset, retention rate, among other factors), and discount rate, reflecting the risks inherent in the future cash flow stream, among other factors.

The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the intangible assets is considered to be within the Level 3 valuation hierarchy due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used.

Acquisition of Stay-Lite Lighting

Effective on January 1, 2022, Orion acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Stay-Lite Lighting, a nationwide lighting and electrical maintenance service provider, for $4.3 million (the “Stay-Lite Acquisition”). Stay-Lite Lighting operates as Stay-Lite Lighting, an Orion Energy Systems business. The Stay-Lite Acquisition accelerates the growth of Orion's maintenance services offerings through its Orion Services Group, which provides lighting and electrical services to customers.

Orion has accounted for this transaction as a business combination. Orion has allocated the purchase price of approximately $4.3 million, which included an estimate of the earn-out liability of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the working capital adjustment received in the first quarter fiscal 2023, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values is recorded as goodwill. The remaining was $4.0 million funded with cash. Orion could pay up to $0.7 million in earn-out related purchase price, which is based on performance during the 2022 and 2023 calendar years. During fiscal 2023, the earn-out liability of $0.2 million was reversed, through acquisition related costs, based on Stay-Lite Lighting's actual performance during fiscal 2023 and Orion's assessment of expected performance in fiscal 2024.

Stay-Lite Lighting’s post-acquisition results of operations since January 1, 2022 are included in Orion’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fiscal 2022 net sales of Stay-Lite Lighting for the period were $2.7 million and operating loss was $0.7 million. The operating results of Stay-Lite Lighting are included in the Orion Services Group segment.

Unaudited pro forma

The pro forma information was determined based on the historical results of Orion and unaudited financial results from Stay-Lite Lighting and Voltrek. These proforma results reflect additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant, and equipment and intangible asset occurred at the beginning of the period, along with consequential tax effects. The unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are not necessarily

indicative of what would have occurred had the business combinations been completed at the beginning of the period or the results that may occur in the future. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect the impact of any synergies resulting from the acquisitions.

If Voltrek was acquired on April 1, 2022, the pro forma Orion revenue for the twelve-month period ended on March 31, 2023 would have been $79.8 million and proforma net loss would have been $(33.5) million. Orion pro-forma fiscal 2022 revenue would have been $128.0 million and net income would have been $5.9 million.

If Stay-Lite was acquired on April 1, 2020, the pro forma Orion full year fiscal 2022 revenue would have been $131.3 million and net income would have been $6.0 million. Orion pro-forma fiscal 2021 revenue would have been $125.4 million and net income would have been $25.5 million.

Transaction costs related to the Stay-Lite Acquisition and the Voltrek Acquisition are recorded in acquisition related costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Transaction costs totaled $0.8 million in the twelve months ending March 31, 2023 and $0.5 million twelve months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.
