Business Combination Acquisitions
On August 1, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Gravotech. Headquartered in Lyon, France, Gravotech is a leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of innovative solutions for specialized engraving, marking and cutting, offering laser, mechanical engraving, scribing and dot peen capabilities across multiple industries. The acquisition of Gravotech expands the Company’s identification product offerings and research and development capabilities to include specialized direct part marking and engraving expertise. The acquisition was funded through cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s existing credit agreement. Net sales and net loss attributable to Gravotech from the acquisition date through July 31, 2025 were $113,919 and $15,375, respectively. The net loss attributable to Gravotech is due to a non-recurring increase in cost of goods sold related to the fair value adjustment to inventory upon acquisition and amortization expense for intangible assets. The purchase price allocation was finalized in the fourth quarter of the year ended July 31, 2025. Measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statement of income.
The purchase price allocation included goodwill of $66,178 of which $46,951 was assigned to the Americas & Asia segment and $19,227 was assigned to the Europe & Australia segment. The goodwill for this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
