PRT Offshore On October 2, 2023 (the “PRT Closing Date”), Professional Rental Tools, LLC (“PRT” or “PRT Offshore”), was acquired (the “PRT Acquisition”) from PRT Partners, LLC by our wholly owned subsidiary, EPSH. The acquisition will enable Expro to expand its portfolio of cost-effective, technology-enabled services and solutions within the subsea well access sector in the North and Latin America region and is expected to accelerate the growth of PRT Offshore’s surface equipment offering in the Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia Pacific regions. The fair value of consideration for the PRT Acquisition was $90.8 million, including cash consideration of $21.6 million, net of cash received, equity consideration of $40.9 million, and contingent consideration of $13.2 million. As of December 31, 2023, we had accrued $1.5 million of the cash consideration related to standard holdback provisions. During the second quarter of 2024, we paid $0.6 million for the settlement of the true-up for working capital adjustments. The contingent consideration arrangement required the Company to pay the former owners of PRT additional consideration based on PRT’s financial performance during the four quarters following closing. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement of $13.2 million was estimated by applying the income approach and was reflected in “Other current liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. That measure was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, referred to as Level 3 inputs in accordance with ASC 820. To the extent our estimates and assumptions changed during the measurement period and such changes were based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the PRT Closing Date, an adjustment to the contingent consideration liability was recorded with an offsetting adjustment to goodwill. To the extent our estimates and assumptions changed based on facts and circumstances subsequent to the PRT Closing Date or after the measurement period, an adjustment to the contingent consideration liability was recorded with an offsetting adjustment to earnings during the applicable period. The contingent consideration was settled for $18.4 million and was paid during the fourth quarter of 2024. The PRT Acquisition is accounted for as a business combination and Expro has been identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result, the Company has in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, applied the acquisition method of accounting to account for PRT’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table sets forth the preliminary allocation of the PRT Acquisition consideration exchanged to the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the PRT Closing Date, with the recording of goodwill for the excess of the consideration transferred over the net aggregate fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

The preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including other liabilities, in the PRT Acquisition initially resulted in a goodwill of $18.6 million. During 2024, the Company finalized the valuation and recorded measurement period adjustments to its preliminary estimates due to additional information received primarily related to a customary purchase price adjustment. The measurement period adjustments resulted in an increase in goodwill of $0.9 million, for final total goodwill associated with the PRT Acquisition of $19.5 million. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets were prepared using an income valuation approach, which requires a forecast of expected future cash flows either using the relief-from royalty method or the multi-period excess earnings method, which are discounted to approximate their current value. The estimated useful lives are based on management’s historical experience and expectations as to the duration of time that benefits from these assets are expected to be realized. The cost approach was used to determine the fair value of property, plant and equipment. The intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated 5 to 15 years life. We expect annual amortization to be approximately $3.3 million associated with these intangible assets. An associated deferred tax liability has been recorded for these intangible assets. Refer to Note 14 “Intangible assets, net” for additional information regarding the various acquired intangible assets. The goodwill related to the PRT Acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from the acquired customer relationships and contracts. The goodwill will be evaluated at least annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. Coretrax On May 15, 2024 (“Coretrax Closing Date”), CTL UK Holdco Limited, a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales (“Coretrax”), was acquired (the “Coretrax Acquisition”), by our wholly owned subsidiary, Expro Holdings UK 3 Limited with an effective date of May 1, 2024. The acquisition will enable Expro to expand its portfolio of cost-effective, technology-enabled Well Construction and Well Intervention & Integrity solutions. We estimated the fair value of consideration for the Coretrax Acquisition to be $186.7 million, including cash consideration of $31.3 million, net of cash received, equity consideration of $142.8 million, and contingent consideration of $3.3 million. The contingent consideration arrangement required the Company to pay the former owners of Coretrax additional consideration based on Expro’s stock price and foreign exchange rate movement during a period of up to 150 days following the Coretrax Closing Date. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement of $3.3 million was estimated based on a Monte Carlo valuation model which used the historic performance of Expro’s stock price and the GBP to USD exchange rate and was reflected in “Other current liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet. That measure was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, referred to as Level 3 inputs in accordance with ASC 820. To the extent our estimates and assumptions changed during the measurement period and such changes were based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the Coretrax Closing Date, an adjustment to the contingent consideration liability was recorded with an offsetting adjustment to goodwill. To the extent our estimates and assumptions changed based on facts and circumstances subsequent to the Coretrax Closing Date or after the measurement period, an adjustment to the contingent consideration liability was recorded with an offsetting adjustment to earnings during the applicable period. In July 2024, the Company entered into a Deed of Amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement with the sellers party thereto (the “Sellers”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) all obligations relating to the true up payments and completion statement under the Stock Purchase Agreement were released and (ii) the escrow agent was instructed to (A) sell a sufficient number of escrow shares on behalf of the Sellers to generate proceeds of $8.0 million, (B) transfer such proceeds to the Company and (C) transfer the remaining escrow shares to the Sellers. Based on the final calculation of the contingent consideration arrangement, the Company recognized $7.5 million as the settlement of the contingent consideration arrangement and the remaining $0.5 million was a reduction to the consideration transferred related to customary working capital adjustments. The Coretrax Acquisition is accounted for as a business combination and Expro has been identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result, the Company has in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, applied the acquisition method of accounting to account for Coretrax’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including other liabilities, in the Coretrax Acquisition initially resulted in a goodwill of $95.8 million. During April 2025, the Company finalized the valuation and recorded measurement period adjustments to its preliminary estimates due to additional information received primarily related to customary purchase price adjustments. The measurement period adjustments resulted in an increase in goodwill of $4.2 million, for final total goodwill associated with the Coretrax Acquisition of $100.0 million. The intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated 1 to 15 years life. We expect annual amortization to be approximately $8.9 million associated with these intangible assets. An associated deferred tax liability has been recorded for these intangible assets. Refer to Note 14 “Intangible assets, net” for additional information regarding the various acquired intangible assets. The goodwill related to the Coretrax Acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from the acquired technology and customer relationships and contracts. The goodwill will be evaluated at least annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. Revenue and earnings of the acquirees The results of operations for the Coretrax Acquisition since the Coretrax Closing Date have been included in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The amount of revenue of Coretrax included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was approximately $88.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Supplemental pro forma financial information The Company has determined the estimated unaudited pro forma financial information to be immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, assuming the PRT Acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2023 and Coretrax Acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2024. This is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had the PRT Acquisition and Coretrax Acquisition been completed on the respective dates indicated or of future operating results.
