15. | Acquisitions and Joint Ventures
Environmental Integrated Solutions On June 4, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Environmental Integrated Solutions (“EIS”) for $10.3 million in cash, which was financed with an additional draw on our revolving credit facility. As additional consideration, the former owners are entitled to earnout payments based upon a multiple of specified financial results through December 31, 2021. Based on projections at the acquisition date, the Company estimated the fair value of the earnout to be $0.6 million. During 2020, the Company increased earnout to $1.7 million at December 31, 2020 based on the estimated fair value at that date. Of this change, $1.2 million is recorded as expense in “Amortization and earnout expenses” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The change in fair value was a result of EIS performing above initial acquisition operational expectations. The earnout liability is recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. EIS engineers products that clean air through a variety of technologies including volatile organic compounds (“VOC”) abatement, odor control, regenerative thermal oxidizers, and other air pollution control solutions, which complements our Industrial Solutions Segment businesses. The following table summarizes the approximate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of closing.

Goodwill recognized represents value the Company expects to be created by combining the various operations of the acquired businesses with the Company’s operations, including the expansion into markets within existing business segments, access to new customers and potential cost savings and synergies. Goodwill related to this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company acquired customer lists and tradename intangible assets valued at $4.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These assets were determined to have useful lives of 10 years. Acquisition and integration expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations are related to acquisition activities, which include retention, legal, accounting, banking, and other expenses. During 2020, EIS accounted for $8.1 million in revenue and $(0.8) million of pre-tax loss (inclusive of the earnout adjustment noted above). Mader On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into the JV Agreement with Mader in which CECO contributed the net assets of its Effox-Flextor damper business and Mader contributed the net assets of their damper business. Under the terms of the JV Agreement, CECO will hold 70% of the equity in the joint venture, and 50% voting interest. We determined CECO was the primary beneficiary of this variable interest entity and therefore the 30% noncontrolling equity interest is in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The results of the joint venture are included in our Energy Segment. The fair value of Mader’s net assets contributed was $1.0 million. As of December 31, 2020 there were $6.4 million in current assets, $8.9 million in long-lived assets, and $7.6 million in total liabilities related to the Effox-Mader joint venture included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Since formation, the joint venture has accounted for $7.7 million in revenue and $(0.2) million of pre-tax loss. The following table summarizes the approximate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the JV agreement date.

Goodwill recognized represents value the Company expects to be created by combining the various operations of the joint venture with the Company’s operations, including the expansion into markets within existing business segments, access to new customers and potential cost savings and synergies. Goodwill related to this joint venture is not deductible for tax purposes. The approximate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the above acquisition and joint venture are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the purchase price measurement period as we finalize the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such changes could result in material variances between the Company’s future financial results, including variances in the estimated purchase price, fair values recorded and expenses associated with these items. The following unaudited pro forma financial information represents the Company’s results of operations as if the EIS acquisition and the joint venture with Mader had occurred on January 1, 2019:

The pro forma results have been prepared for informational purposes only and include adjustments to amortize acquired intangible assets with finite life, reflect additional interest expense on debt used to fund the acquisition, and to record the income tax consequences of the pro forma adjustments. These pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the purchase been made as of the beginning of the periods presented or of the results of operations that may occur in the future.
