Business Combination Acquisitions
Acquisition of WaterSurplus, Inc.: On April 25, 2025, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Surplus Management, Inc. d/b/a WaterSurplus (“WaterSurplus”) for an initial purchase price of approximately $149.9 million under the terms of an asset purchase agreement by and among WaterSurplus and related entities and their shareholders, Panther Acquisition Corporation, and Hawkins, Inc., as well as a related real estate purchase agreement. In addition, we may be obligated to pay an additional earnout amount based on a target of accumulated gross profit for the first five years after the acquisition. The maximum earnout liability of $53.7 million was discounted and recorded at the estimated present value of $43.0 million. WaterSurplus is based in Rockford, IL and delivers sustainable water treatment solutions to customers throughout the United States. The total purchase price, including the estimated $43.0 million earnout liability, was preliminarily allocated as follows: $78.0 million to customer relationships, to be amortized over 15 years; 6.0 million to trade names, to be amortized over 15 years; $10.0 million to technology, to be amortized over 8 years; $82.7 million to goodwill; 13.1 million to property, plant and equipment; and the remaining amount to net working capital. The goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition is primarily attributable to strategic and synergistic benefits, as well as the assembled workforce. Such goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation is not yet complete due to the timing of the acquisition. The results of operations since the acquisition date and the assets are included in our Water Treatment segment. Costs associated with this transaction were not material and were expensed as incurred.
The following pro forma information has been prepared as if the WaterSurplus acquisition and the borrowing that financed the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the fiscal years presented. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what our consolidated results of operations actually would have been had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of each fiscal year, nor is it indicative of our future operational results.
