Note 10. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

On July 21, 2025, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Safran Electronics and Defense Canada, Inc. and certain net assets of Safran’s electro-mechanical actuation business in the United States and Mexico (“Safran Acquisition”) for total consideration of $41,678, net of cash acquired and subject to net working capital adjustments to be finalized in fiscal year 2026. The acquisition, included within the Aerospace reportable segment, expands the Company’s electromechanical actuation portfolio and was financed through the use of cash on hand. The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $9,348 in fiscal year 2025 that were expend as incurred and recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

The following table summarizes the preliminary determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed that are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025:

The majority of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes and represents the estimated value of the acquired workforce, expanded sales opportunities on the next generation of aircraft, and other synergies expected from the integration of the Safran Acquisition with Woodward’s Aerospace segment. As of September 30, 2025, the purchase accounting is subject to final adjustment, primarily for working capital adjustments, amounts allocated to goodwill, and tax balances.

We have not presented pro forma results because the Safran Acquisition was not deemed significant at the date of Closing.

Divestitures

The Company periodically reviews its business and from time to time may sell businesses, assets, or product lines as part of business rationalization. Any gain or loss recognized due to divestitures is recorded within the line item “Other income, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

In connection with certain product rationalization activities, during the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold certain product lines and its heavy-duty gas turbine combustion parts product line, included in the Industrial segment, to third parties. The Company received cash proceeds of $50,068 and receivables of $1,750 included in “Other current assets” and “Other assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognized a pretax gain of $20,524.

The sale of the heavy-duty gas turbine combustion parts product line was completed on March 3, 2025. The carrying value of the assets and liabilities sold were as follows:
