2025 Acquisitions

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of Alliance USAcqCo 2, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Ventev”) for approximately $73 million, net of cash acquired. Ventev is a leading manufacturer and provider of a complete ecosystem of solutions to power, protect, and connect wireless networks. The Ventev business has been added to the Electrical Solutions segment. We have recognized intangible assets of $34.5 million and goodwill of $40.0 million as a result of the acquisition. The $34.5 million of intangible assets consists primarily of customer relationships and trade names and will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 17 years.

In the third quarter of 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of Nicor, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Nicor") for approximately $56 million, net of cash acquired. Nicor designs and manufactures water metering endpoint solutions to integrate and optimize advanced metering infrastructure networks. Such solutions include polymer meter box lids and covers. Nicor has been added to the Utility Solutions segment. We have recognized intangible assets of $18.6 million and goodwill of $31.1 million as a result of the acquisition. The $18.6 million of intangible assets consists primarily of customer relationships and a trade name and will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 18 years.

On October 1, 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of Power Rose Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Power Rose" and together with its subsidiaries, "DMC Power") for approximately $827 million, net of cash acquired. DMC Power is a provider of swaged connection systems and tooling for utility substation and transmission markets. DMC Power has been added to the Utility Solutions segment. We have recognized intangible assets of $364.0 million and goodwill of $467.0 million as a result of the acquisition. The $364.0 million of intangible assets consists primarily of $290.0 million of customer relationships, with the remaining $74.0 million consisting of developed technology, trade names and backlog. The intangible assets will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 21 years.

The Company financed the acquisition of DMC Power with net proceeds from borrowings under a new unsecured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million and issuances of commercial paper.

We determined the preliminary fair values of the customer relationships intangible assets using a multi-period excess earnings method. The significant assumptions used in determining the preliminary fair values of the customer relationships intangible assets included revenue growth rates, gross margin, attrition rate, and discount rate. We determined the preliminary fair values of the developed technology, trade name and backlog intangible assets using an income approach. Accordingly, the fair value measurement of the customer relationships intangible assets, developed technology, trade name, and backlog intangible assets are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

These business acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill relates to a number of factors implied in the purchase price, including the future earnings and cash flow potential of the business as well as the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies that such business acquisition brings to the Company’s existing operations. The goodwill related to the Ventev, Nicor and DMC Power acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes.

Preliminary Allocation of Consideration Transferred to Net Assets Acquired

The following table presents the preliminary determination of the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Company's 2025 acquisitions of Ventev, Nicor and DMC Power (in millions).

The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the applicable one year measurement period as required by FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” As the Company finalizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional purchase price adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period. The purchase accounting for the Ventev acquisition has been finalized.

Fair value estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the Company's results of operations and financial position. The finalization of the purchase accounting assessment may result in a change in the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and may have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.
