Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combinations | 3. Business Combinations On July 31, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of ARGES GmbH (“ARGES”), a Wackersdorf, Germany-based manufacturer of innovative laser scanning subsystems used in industrial materials processing and medical applications, for a total purchase price of €65.7 million ($73.2 million), including net working capital adjustments. The purchase price consists of €24.0 million ($26.7 million) cash paid at closing, 124 thousand Novanta common shares issued upon closing (with a fair market value of €9.8 million, or $10.9 million, based on the closing market price of $87.58 per share on July 30, 2019), €7.1 million ($7.9 million) estimated fair value of contingent consideration and €24.8 million ($27.7 million) deferred cash consideration. In connection with the Company’s initiatives to preserve cash during a prolonged economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company reached an agreement with the former owner of ARGES in April 2020 to settle net working capital adjustments and to postpone a portion of the deferred cash consideration. The Company is now expected to pay the seller €5.0 million ($5.4 million) in cash in June 2020 and €20.0 million ($21.7 million) in cash in December 2020.
