Note 3.  Acquisition

On October 1, 2021, we acquired Merfish United, Inc. (“Merfish United”), a leading master distributor of carbon steel pipes, copper tubing, plastic pipe, electrical conduit and related products that are distributed to its independent wholesale distributor customers across a variety of end markets in the United States. Merfish United, headquartered in Ipswich, Massachusetts, serves 47 U.S. states through its twelve strategically located distribution centers. Merfish United’s broad product offering includes full lines of steel pipe, copper tubing, plastic pipe, electrical conduit and related products for the

commercial, residential, municipal and industrial building markets. No sales of Merfish United were included in our net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Merfish United’s unaudited total assets and revenues as of September 30, 2021 and for the twelve months then ended were approximately $215 million and $600 million, respectively.

The allocation of the total purchase price for our acquisition of Merfish United to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is not presented as the accounting is incomplete due to the transaction closing in the fourth quarter of 2021.

We funded our acquisition of Merfish United in the fourth quarter of 2021 with cash on hand.
