Acquisitions Completed During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025

Freedman Seating Company

In April 2025, the Company acquired substantially all of the business assets of Freedman Seating Company, a manufacturer of transportation seating solutions to the bus, rail, marine, delivery truck, and specialty and commercial vehicle markets. The total fair value of consideration was approximately $79.4 million. The Company paid $68.6 million in cash
consideration at closing, and paid $0.8 million in August 2025 to true up net working capital. The Company also assumed $10.0 million of the seller's debt related to new market tax credits. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition date, primarily in the OEM Segment. The Company is in the process of determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the opening balance sheet, including the fair value of the debt assumed and intangible assets. As this acquisition is not considered to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, pro forma results of operations and other disclosures are not presented. The acquisition of this business was preliminarily recorded as of the acquisition date as follows (in thousands):

Cash consideration$69,361 
Debt assumed10,000 
Total consideration$79,361 
Customer relationships$25,600 
Other identifiable intangible assets8,700 
Net tangible assets25,366 
Total fair value of net assets acquired$59,666 
Goodwill (tax deductible)$19,695 

The customer relationships intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years. The consideration given was greater than the fair value of the net assets acquired, resulting in goodwill, because the Company anticipates the attainment of synergies and an increase in the markets for the acquired products.

Other Acquisitions in 2025

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company completed two other acquisitions totaling $33.7 million of cash purchase consideration, plus holdback payments of $0.5 million to be paid over the year following the closing of the applicable acquisition and contingent consideration payable if annual thresholds are met through 2027 for up to a maximum of $2.0 million. The preliminary purchase price allocations resulted in $3.2 million of goodwill (tax deductible) and $8.5 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets. As these acquisitions are not considered to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, pro forma results of operations and other disclosures are not presented.

Goodwill

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment were as follows:

Goodwill represents the excess of the total consideration given in an acquisition of a business over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested at the reporting unit level for impairment annually in November, or more frequently if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist.
