Acquisitions
In May 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Batterielngenieure GmbH (together with its subsidiaries, “Batterielngenieure”) for approximately $11 million in cash consideration (subject to customary post-closing adjustments). Batterielngenieure is a Germany-based battery testing company that is in the process of building a laboratory in Aachen, Germany to replace the leased facility it is currently using and add testing and simulation capacity. The Company is still in the process of identifying acquired assets and assumed liabilities, which may also result in adjustment of the provisional amounts recorded. The subsequent adjustments of the provisional amounts are not expected to be material. Batterielngenieure is included in the Industrial segment.
In August 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Certification Entity for Renewable Energies, S.L. (“CERE”) for approximately $14 million in cash consideration (as adjusted for customary post-closing adjustments). CERE is a Spain-based grid code compliance testing, simulation and certification company, focused on renewable energy and electric vehicle adoption. Goodwill of $11 million, subject to finalization of the purchase price allocation and valuation of intangible assets, includes expected synergies with the Company’s existing business and has been included within the Company’s Industrial segment. Goodwill related to this acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.
In July 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of HBI Compliance Limited (together with its subsidiaries, “Healthy Buildings International”) for approximately $6 million in cash consideration (as adjusted for customary post-closing adjustments). Healthy Buildings International is a United Kingdom-based health, safety and compliance company and its results of operations have been included in the Software and Advisory segment since the date of acquisition.
Aggregate acquisition-related costs associated with business combinations are not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as incurred.
Divestiture
In May 2024, the Company completed the sale of its payments testing business in the Industrial segment to an affiliate of Gallant Capital Partners, a California-based private equity firm, for a base price of $30 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, with the potential for additional cash consideration if certain earn-out provisions are met. The divestiture resulted in a pre-tax gain on sale of approximately $25 million, which was recorded within other income, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Held for Sale
In May 2024, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent with a prospective buyer to purchase one of its facilities, but has not entered into a definitive agreement to dispose of the facility. As a result, the Company classified the related assets as held for sale. The facility is a testing laboratory, used in the Company’s Industrial and Consumer segments. At June 30, 2024, the carrying amount of the building and related improvements classified as held for sale was $11 million, which was included within other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The sale is expected to be completed before the end of 2024, subject to both parties reaching agreement on the terms of the sale and the satisfaction of any closing conditions set forth in such terms.
