3.			ACQUISITIONS

PPG Acquisition

On November 16, 2023, Sterling acquired Professional Plumbers Group, Incorporated (“PPG”) (the “PPG Acquisition”). PPG provides all the major plumbing phases for new residential builds, expanding Sterling’s suite of residential services in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. The PPG Acquisition is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The results of PPG are included within our Building Solutions segment.

Purchase Consideration—Sterling completed the PPG Acquisition for a purchase price of $56,693, net of cash acquired, detailed as follows:


Cash consideration transferred, net of cash acquired	$	50,002
Earn-out (1)	4,500
Target working capital adjustment	2,191
Total fair value of consideration	$	56,693

(1) The earn-out arrangement requires the Company to pay up to $20,000 based upon PPG’s achievement of certain cumulative EBITDA targets for a three year period ending on December 31, 2026. No payment shall be made if the cumulative EBITDA targets are not achieved.

Purchase Price Allocation—The aggregate purchase price noted above was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition closing date, which were based, in part, upon an external appraisal and valuation of certain assets, including specifically identified intangible assets. The excess of the fair value of consideration over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired totaling $18,671 was recorded as goodwill. This goodwill represents the value of expected future earnings and cash flows, as well as the synergies created by the integration of the new business within our organization, including cross-selling opportunities to help strengthen our existing

service offerings and expand our market position. The goodwill and intangibles related to the acquisition are not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes our purchase price allocation at the acquisition closing date, net of cash acquired:


Net tangible assets (liabilities):
Accounts receivable	$	2,588

Other current assets	1,460
Property and equipment, net	1,679
Other non-current assets, net	2,394
Accounts payable	(1,268)

Deferred tax liability	(10,525)
Other current and non-current liabilities	(2,806)
Total net tangible liabilities	(6,478)
Identifiable intangible assets	44,500
Goodwill	18,671
Total fair value of consideration transferred	$	56,693

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the total consideration and purchase price allocation changed by $38, primarily due to the finalization of the working capital adjustment.

Identifiable Intangible Assets—Intangible assets identified as part of the PPG Acquisition are reflected in the table below and are recorded at their estimated fair value, as determined by the Company’s management, based on available information which includes a valuation from external experts. The estimated useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows.


	Weighted Average Life (Years)	November 16, 2023 Fair Value
Customer relationships	20	$	43,400
Trade names	15	1,100
Total		$	44,500
