Acquisitions and Joint Ventures | 15. Acquisitions EnviroCare International LLC On July 29, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of EnviroCare International LLC (“EnviroCare"), based in American Canyon, California. EnviroCare is an international designer and provider of industrial exhaust air contamination treatment and control systems, solutions and services across a wide range of industrial and municipal applications. The estimated purchase price was approximately $13.0 million consisting of $15.7 million paid at closing and a seller promissory note of $1.7 million, partially offset by an estimated working capital adjustment of $4.4 million. The acquisition was financed using a combination of cash on the balance sheet and borrowings under the Company’s existing Credit Facility. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of closing.

Net assets acquired |  | $ | 13,008 |
The Company acquired technology, customer lists and tradename intangible assets valued at $0.8 million, $0.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively. These assets were determined to have useful lives of 7, 10 and 10 years, respectively. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, EnviroCare accounted for $2.4 million in revenue and $0.3 million of net income in the Company's results. Kemco Systems Co., LLC On August 23, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Kemco for $24.0 million in cash, which was financed with a draw on the Company’s revolving credit facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company received $0.4 million from the former owners of Kemco as a working capital adjustment, reducing the purchase price to $23.6 million. As additional consideration, the former owners of Kemco are entitled to earnout payments up to $4.0 million based upon specified financial results through August 31, 2026, of which $1.7 million was paid during the second quarter of 2024. Based on projections at the acquisition date, the Company estimated the fair value of the earnout to be $2.2 million, which was subsequently adjusted to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. This fair value measurement is based on inputs not observable in the market, which is considered Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2024, the earnout liability recorded in “Accrued expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is $1.5 million which reflects a fair value adjustment of $0.4 million during the third quarter of 2024. Kemco designs and manufactures energy and water conservation systems and equipment for applications regarding wastewater reuse and recycle, heat recovery, water heating, and vapor energy. This acquisition advances the Company's position within the North American water and wastewater treatment market within the Engineered Systems segment.

The Company acquired customer lists and tradename intangible assets valued at $1.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. These assets were determined to have useful lives of 10 years. The Company has finalized the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisitions of Kemco, Wakefield and Transcend. The purchase accounting related to the EnviroCare acquisition is subject to final adjustment, primarily for the final determination of post-close adjustment for net working capital. The preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the purchase price measurement period as the Company finalizes the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and finalizes the post-close adjustment amount. These changes could result in material variances in the Company's future financial results, including variances in the estimated purchase price, fair values recorded and expenses associated with these items. 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.
