Acquisitions Acquisitions
 
The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” in which assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. The operating results of the acquired businesses are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of the acquisition.
 
Basler Electric

On December 11, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Basler. Basler is a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative electrical control and protection solutions for high-growth industrial markets including grid and utility infrastructure, power generation and data center. At the time of acquisition, Basler had annualized sales of approximately $130 million. The business is reported within the Company’s Industrial segment. The purchase price for Basler was $361.7 million and is subject to a working capital adjustment.

The Company financed the transaction with cash on hand. The total purchase consideration of $350.3 million, net of cash acquired, has been allocated, on a preliminary basis, based on estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As of December 27, 2025, the Company’s purchase price allocation reflects various provisional estimates that were based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date and the filing date of this Form 10-K. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed; however, the determination of those fair values, including the third-party valuation of acquired tangible and intangible assets, is not yet finalized. Thus, the preliminary measurements of fair value set forth in the table below are subject to change during the measurement period as valuations are finalized. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Basler acquisition:

(in thousands)Purchase Price
Allocation
Total purchase consideration: 
Cash, net of cash acquired$350,301 
Allocation of consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Trade receivables, net16,798

Property, plant, and equipment23,237 
Intangible assets150,000 
Goodwill152,343 
Other long-term assets5,731 
Current liabilities(21,386)
Other long-term liabilities(2,750)
 $350,301 

All Basler assets and liabilities were recorded in the Industrial segment and are primarily reflected in the North America geographic area. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition consists largely of the Company’s expected future product sales and synergies from combining Basler’s products and technology with the Company’s existing Industrial products portfolio. Goodwill resulting from the Basler acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Net (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 were net sales of $3.7 million, and a loss before income taxes of $1.2 million, respectively, since the December 11, 2025 acquisition of Basler.

As required by purchase accounting guidance, the Company recorded a $6.4 million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date based on the preliminary valuation. The step-up is being amortized as a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold during the fourth quarter of 2025 and first quarter of 2026, as the acquired inventory is sold, and reflected as other non-segment costs. The Company recognized a non-cash charge of $1.1 million to cost of goods sold during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025.
For the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, the Company incurred $2.6 million of legal and professional fees related to the Basler acquisition recognized as Selling, general, and administrative expenses and reflected as other non-segment costs.

Dortmund Fab

On December 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of a 200mm wafer fab located in Dortmund, Germany (“Dortmund Fab”) from Elmos Semiconductor SE. The total purchase price for the Dortmund Fab was approximately €94 million, of which a €37.2 million down payment (approximately $40.5 million) was paid in the third quarter of 2023 after regulatory approvals, and €56.7 million (approximately $58.8 million) was paid at closing. The business is reported in the Electronics-Semiconductor business within the Company’s Electronics segment.

The acquisition was funded with the Company’s cash on hand. The total purchase consideration of $95.9 million, net of cash acquired, has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the completion of the acquisition, based on estimated fair values.

The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Dortmund Fab acquisition:

Other long-term assets8,579 
Current liabilities(7,464)
Other long-term liabilities(15,289)
 $95,942 

All Dortmund Fab assets and liabilities were recorded in the Electronics segment and are primarily reflected in the Europe geographic area. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition consists largely of the Company’s expected future product sales and synergies from combining Dortmund Fab’s products and technology with the Company’s existing semiconductor products portfolio. Goodwill resulting from the Dortmund Fab acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Net (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 were net sales of $49.0 million, and a loss before income taxes of $69.1 million, respectively, since the December 31, 2024 acquisition of Dortmund Fab. The loss before income taxes included the goodwill impairment charge of $64.6 million recorded in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2025.

As required by purchase accounting guidance, the Company recorded a $0.5 million step-down of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date based on the valuation. The step-down was fully amortized as a non-cash credit to cost of sales during the first fiscal quarter of 2025 as the acquired inventory was sold and reflected as other non-segment costs.

For the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company incurred $0.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of legal and professional fees related to the Dortmund Fab acquisition recognized as Selling, general, and administrative expenses and reflected as other non-segment costs. A total of $3.5 million of legal and professional fees related to the Dortmund Fab acquisition was recognized since 2023. These costs were reflected as other non-segment costs.

Western Automation

On February 3, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Western Automation Research and Development Limited (“Western Automation”) for approximately $162 million in cash. Headquartered in Galway, Ireland, Western Automation is a designer and manufacturer of electrical shock protection devices used across a broad range of high-growth end markets,
including electric vehicle charging infrastructure, industrial safety and renewables. At the time the Company and Western Automation entered into the definitive agreement, Western Automation had annualized sales of approximately $25 million. The business is reported within the Company’s Industrial segment.

The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. The total purchase consideration of $158.3 million, net of cash, has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the completion of the acquisition, based on estimated fair values.
