6 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2021

Acquisitions support the Company’s strategy of delivering a broad solutions portfolio with robust technology across multiple geographies and end markets. The Company continues to evaluate potential strategic acquisitions of businesses, assets and product lines and believes that capex-like, tuck-in acquisitions present a key opportunity within its overall growth strategy.

On December 17, 2020, the Company acquired the industrial water business of Ultrapure & Industrial Services, LLC (“Ultrapure”) for $8,743 cash paid at closing. Ultrapure, based out of Texas, provides customers across multiple end markets with a variety of water treatment products and services, including service deionization, reverse osmosis, UV and ozonation. Ultrapure will strengthen the Company’s service capabilities in the Houston and Dallas markets and is a part of the Integrated Solutions and Services segment. During the six months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred approximately $229 in acquisition costs, which are included in General and administrative expense on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The accounting for the acquisition has not yet been completed because the Company has not finalized the valuations of the acquired assets, assumed liabilities and identifiable intangible assets, including goodwill. The preliminary opening balance sheet for Ultrapure is summarized as follows:


Current assets	$	2,366
Property, plant and equipment	963
Goodwill	2,545
Intangible assets, net	3,751
Other non-current assets	22
Total assets acquired	9,647
Liabilities assumed	(904)
Net assets acquired	$	8,743

On March 1, 2021, the Company completed the divestiture of the Lange containment system, geomembrane and geosynthetic liner product line (the “Lange Product Line”) for $897 in cash at closing. The Lange Product Line was a part of the Integrated Solutions and Services segment. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized a loss of $191 on the divestiture.
