GKE - Fiscal Year 2024 Acquisition 

We acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of GKE GmbH and SAL GmbH effective  October 16, 2023, and upon approval by applicable Chinese regulators, effective December 31, 2023, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Beijing GKE Science & Technology Co. Ltd. (“GKE China.” Together with GKE GmbH and SAL GmbH, “GKE” or the "GKE acquisition").

 

GKE develops, manufactures and sells a highly competitive portfolio of chemical sterilization indicators, biologics, and process challenge devices to protect patient safety across global healthcare markets. GKE is included in our Sterilization and Disinfection Control ("SDC") division, and GKE's strengths in chemical indictors are complementary to SDC's strengths in biologic indicators, as chemical and biologic indicators are used in the same sterility validation workflows. Additionally, GKE’s healthcare-focused commercial capabilities in Europe and Asia greatly expand our reach in the healthcare markets in those geographies. We are working to obtain regulatory 510(k) clearance on certain GKE products for sale in the United States, which would further expand organic revenues growth opportunities from the GKE business.

  

We finalized our purchase price accounting of GKE during fiscal year 2024. Total cash consideration for the GKE acquisition was $87,187, net of cash and financial liabilities and inclusive of working capital adjustments. Of the total acquisition price, approximately $9,200 (at June 30, 2024 exchange rates) is being held back for a period of 18 months from the acquisition closing as security against potential indemnification losses. We funded the acquisition through a combination of cash on-hand and a total of $71,000 borrowed under our line of credit. 

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, GKE's operations contributed $6,254 to our consolidated revenues and $3,820 to our gross profit, including $778 of inventory step-up amortization recorded to cost of revenues. Additionally, amortization expense of $532 was recorded to general and administrative expense and $110 was recorded to cost of revenues related to intangibles acquired as part of the GKE acquisition during the three months ended June 30, 2024
