Piazza Rosa Group

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company acquired the Piazza Rosa Group. The Italy-based privately held company is a leading provider of mold and tool treatment and finishing services for the automotive and consumer products markets. We have included the results of the Piazza Rosa Group in our Engraving segment.

The Company paid $10.1 million in cash for all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Piazza Rosa Group and also paid $2.8 million subsequent to closing in order to satisfy assumed debt of the entity at the time of acquisition. The Company has estimated that total cash consideration will be adjusted by $2.6 million based upon achievement of certain revenue metrics over the three years following acquisition. The Company made the first payment of $0.9 million during the first quarter of 2019 based on achievement of the revenue metrics during the first year.

The purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values on the closing date. Goodwill recorded from this transaction is attributable to potential revenue increases from the combined competencies with Standex Engraving’s worldwide presence and Piazza Rosa Group’s texturizing capabilities. The combined companies create a global tool finishing service leader and open additional opportunities in the broader surface engineering market.

Intangible assets of $4.1 million were preliminarily recorded, consisting of $2.3 million of customer relationships to be amortized over a period of eight years, $1.6 million for trademarks, and $0.2 million of other intangibles assets. The Company finalized its purchase accounting for this acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and reduced the identifiable intangible asset estimate by $0.6 million at that time. The goodwill of $7.1 million created by the transaction is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Acquisition-related costs include costs related to acquired businesses and other pending acquisitions. These costs consist of (i) deferred compensation and (ii) acquisition-related professional service fees and expenses, including financial advisory, legal, accounting, and other outside services incurred in connection with acquisition activities, and regulatory matters related to acquired entities. These costs do not include purchase accounting expenses, which we define as acquired backlog and the step-up of inventory to fair value, or the amortization of the acquired intangible assets.

Deferred compensation costs relate to payments due to the Horizon Scientific seller of $2.8 million on the second anniversary and $5.6 million on the third anniversary of the closing date of the purchase. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded deferred compensation costs of $1.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively, related to estimated deferred compensation earned by the Horizon Scientific seller to date. The payments were contingent on the seller remaining an employee of the Company, with limited exceptions, at each anniversary date. The final payment due to the seller was made during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, and this liability is now considered settled.

Acquisition related costs consist of miscellaneous professional service fees and expenses for our recent acquisitions.
