Acquisition

On August 31, 2023 (“Acquisition Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of MB Aerospace Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MB Aerospace"), along with such entity's subsidiaries by acquiring all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of MB Aerospace. MB Aerospace is a leading provider of precision aero-engine component manufacture and repair services serving major aerospace and defense engine original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), tier 1 suppliers and maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") providers. This business, which is being integrated into our Aerospace segment, provides significant growth opportunities and enhances the Company’s ability to deliver value-add solutions across the aero-engine value chain. Further, the acquisition of MB Aerospace increases customer diversification within both commercial aerospace and defense platforms and provides the Company with a well-balanced portfolio across aerospace and industrial end markets.

The Company acquired MB Aerospace for an aggregate purchase price of $728,448, which includes post-closing adjustments under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company paid $718,623, net of $9,825 of cash acquired, in cash, using cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s $1,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility and its $650,000 Term Loan Facility (see Note 10).

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $17,423 of acquisition-related costs related to the acquisition of MB Aerospace. These transaction costs have been recognized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income, of which $7,817 was recognized as selling and administrative expenses and of which $9,606 primarily relating to the bridge loan facility financing was recognized as Interest expense (see Note 10).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $22,711 of acquisition-related costs related to the acquisition of MB Aerospace. These costs include $1,729 of due diligence costs and $20,982 of transaction costs to complete the acquisition. These transaction costs have been recognized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income, of which $13,105 was recognized as selling and administrative expenses and of which $9,606 primarily relating to the bridge loan facility financing was recognized as Interest expense (see Note 10).

The operating results of MB Aerospace have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income since the Acquisition Date. The Company reported $26,476 in net sales and an operating loss of $7,386 from MB Aerospace, included within the Aerospace segment's operating profit, inclusive of $8,019 of short-term purchase accounting adjustments related to inventory step-up and backlog intangible amortization and $2,208 of amortization of other intangible assets acquired, for the period from the Acquisition Date through September 30, 2023.

Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The Company accounted for the MB Aerospace acquisition as a business combination. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their preliminary fair values as of the Acquisition Date, inclusive of subsequent purchase price adjustments, and are consolidated into the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The assignment of fair market value requires significant judgments regarding the estimates and assumptions used to value the acquired assets and liabilities assumed. In determining the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company utilized the cost, income and market approaches from the perspective of a market participant. The Company used third party valuation professionals to aid in the determination of the estimated fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The following table summarizes the fair values for each major class of assets acquired, net of cash acquired, and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date, inclusive of subsequent purchase price adjustments:

Accounts receivable	$	48,863
Inventories	77,914
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	18,093
Property, plant and equipment	76,363
Goodwill	328,361
Other intangible assets	320,000
Other Assets	10,627
Total Assets Acquired	880,221
Accounts payable	(21,826)
Accrued liabilities	(37,260)
Deferred income taxes	(83,480)
Other liabilities	(9,609)
Debt assumed	(9,423)
Total Liabilities Assumed	(161,598)
Net Assets Acquired	$	718,623

The Company recorded the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of MB Aerospace as of August 31, 2023. Fair values are inclusive of purchase price adjustments that were made subsequent to the acquisition date.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the underlying acquired net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s Aerospace segment. None of the recognized goodwill from the acquisition of MB Aerospace is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $328,361 of goodwill and $320,000 of intangible assets. See Note 9.

The Other intangible assets in the table above consist of backlog, developed technology, and customer relationships, which are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives (see Note 9).
