2024 ACQUISITIONS

Zahner

In December 2024, we acquired the issued and outstanding shares of Zahner for $30.0 million, net of $16.0 million of cash acquired, subject to customary post-closing adjustments for working capital. The total fair value of cash and other tangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, was $16.3 million. The fair value of significant classes of non-cash tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed included accounts receivable of $10.9 million, property, plant and equipment of $8.7 million, operating ROU assets and lease liabilities of $2.9 million, finance ROU assets and lease liabilities of $8.9 million and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $19.6 million. The total fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was $23.5 million, resulting in $6.2 million of goodwill. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of identifiable intangible assets acquired, and their estimated useful lives:

Goodwill from the Zahner acquisition relates to many factors, including the technical competencies and capabilities of the acquired workforce and our strategic intent to integrate and leverage those competencies and capabilities to advance and expand our portfolio of solutions and offerings. All of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Valuations for assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates that are subject to revisions and may result in adjustments to preliminary values as valuations are finalized.

In April 2024, we acquired the issued and outstanding membership interests in 3form for $93.5 million, net of $0.5 million of cash acquired. The total fair value of cash and other tangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, was $34.5 million. The fair value of significant classes of non-cash tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed included accounts receivable of $6.6 million, inventory of $7.9 million, property, plant and equipment of $35.0 million, operating ROU assets of $10.1 million, operating lease liabilities of $10.0 million and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $16.3 million.

The total fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was $2.1 million, resulting in $0.2 million of goodwill. Acquired intangible assets were comprised of in-process research and development of $1.7 million and amortizable trademarks of $0.4 million. All acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a life of 20 years. All of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The total fair value of tangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed was $1.4 million. The total fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was $5.4 million, resulting in $7.8 million of goodwill.
