Acquisition of Mueller Supply Company, Inc.
In July 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Mueller Supply Company, Inc. (“Mueller”) for a purchase price of $497.1 million, including a base purchase price of $475.0 million, in addition to closing date cash and working capital adjustments. Mueller is a leading manufacturer of residential metal roofing and components and steel buildings in Texas and the Southwest United States (“U.S.”). Mueller has approximately 900 employees and a comprehensive regional footprint including 38 retail branches and five manufacturing sites in Amarillo, Ballinger and Huntsville, Texas; Oak Grove, Louisiana; and Phoenix, Arizona. This acquisition was funded through issuing long-term debt further discussed in Note 7. Mueller is included in the Company’s Shelter Solutions reportable segment.

As part of the Mueller transaction, the Company acquired a 33.33% interest in BDM Metal Coaters, LLC (“BDM”). The general purpose of BDM is the establishment and operation of a processing facility for the slitting and coating of hot roll steel coils. The Company does not exercise significant influence over BDM’s operating and financial activities; therefore, the Company accounts for the investment under the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of the investment of $10.6 million is recognized in other asset, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the period ended September 28, 2024.
The provisional fair value and expected useful life of identifiable intangible assets consists of the following:

The acquisition of Mueller resulted in the recognition of $137.4 million of goodwill. The goodwill recorded is a result of expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from the integration of the acquisition within our operations. Goodwill created as a result of the acquisition of Mueller is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. A net deferred tax liability of $59.1 million was established as a result of the acquisition.

In December 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of the Eastern Architectural Systems (“EAS”) business, whose operations are included in the Company’s Aperture Solutions reportable segment. EAS is based in Ft. Myers, Florida and manufactures custom-made aluminum and vinyl impact windows and doors. In August 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of M.A.C. Métal Architectural Inc.

The total purchase price for these acquisitions was $235.5 million, comprised of upfront cash payments of $217.7 million and earn-out contingent consideration of $16.8 million related to the MAC Metal transaction. The purchase price of these acquisitions was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which related primarily to inventory of $15.9 million, property, plant and equipment of $21.3 million, goodwill of $88.4 million, intangible assets such as, customer lists and trademarks, of $73.4 million and $34.3 million, contingent consideration of $16.8 million and noncurrent deferred income tax liabilities of $12.3 million. The goodwill recorded is a result of expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from the integration of the acquisitions with our operations. Purchase accounting for these acquisitions was finalized during the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
The MAC Metal acquisition earn-out is payable over two consecutive twelve-month periods, with the first period starting in the month following the close of the applicable acquisition and payments are based upon achieving certain adjusted EBITDA-based metrics, as defined in the purchase agreement.
