ACQUISITIONS

Shoemaker Manufacturing, LLC

On December 15, 2021, we acquired 100% of outstanding equity of Shoemaker Manufacturing, LLC (“Shoemaker”), based in Cle Elum, Washington, for an aggregate purchase price of $43.5 million, including preliminary working capital and closing cash adjustments and contingent consideration. Shoemaker offers high-quality customizable GRD for commercial and residential markets, and expands CSWI’s HVAC/R product offering and regional exposure in the northwest U.S. The aggregate purchase price was comprised of cash consideration of $38.5 million (including $1.2 million cash acquired), 25,483 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $3.0 million at transaction close and additional contingent consideration of $2.0 million based on Shoemaker meeting a defined financial target during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). The 25,483 shares of common stock delivered to the sellers as consideration were issued from treasury shares. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation was classified as a current liability of $2.0 million and was determined using a scenario-based analysis on forecasted future results. In May 2022, the full contingent consideration amount of $2.0 million was remitted to the sellers due to the performance obligation being met.

The Shoemaker acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations ("Topic 805"). The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was $8.1 million allocated to goodwill, which represents the value expected to be obtained from owning a more extensive GRD product portfolio for the HVAC/R market and increased regional exposure to the northwest U.S. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired included customer lists ($23.0 million), trademarks ($6.5 million), noncompete agreements ($0.7 million), backlog ($0.3 million), inventory ($3.6 million), accounts receivable ($1.7 million), cash ($1.2 million), equipment ($1.4 million) and prepaid expenses ($0.2 million), net of current liabilities ($3.2 million). Customer lists, noncompete agreements and backlog are being amortized over 15 years, 5 years and 1 month, respectively, while trademarks and goodwill are not being amortized.  The Company's evaluation of the facts and circumstances available of December 15, 2021, to assign fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is ongoing. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill and all intangible assets, including customer lists, trademarks, noncompete agreements and backlog are deductible and amortized over 15 years for income tax purposes. Shoemaker activity has been included in our Contractor Solutions segment since the acquisition date. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.

Cover Guard, Inc. and AC Guard, Inc.

On July 8, 2022, we acquired the assets of Cover Guard, Inc. (“CG”) and AC Guard, Inc. ("ACG"), based in Orlando, Florida, for an aggregate purchase price of $18.4 million, comprised of cash consideration of $18.0 million and additional contingent considerations initially measured at $0.4 million based on CG and ACG meeting defined financial targets over a period of 5 years. In conjunction with the acquisition, we agreed to pay an additional $3.7 million, comprised of cash consideration of $1.5 million and 5-year annuity payments (value of $2.2 million) to a third party to secure the related intellectual property. The total cash consideration of $19.5 million was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). CG and ACG product lines further expand Contractor Solutions’ offering of leading HVAC/R accessories. Through these differentiated products, our Contractor Solutions segment expects to achieve incremental ductless and ducted HVAC/R market penetration. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was classified as a long term liability of $0.4 million and was determined using an option pricing model simulation that determines an average projected payment value across numerous iterations.

The CG and ACG acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations ("Topic 805"). The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was $1.7 million allocated to goodwill, which represents the value expected to be obtained from owning products that are complementary to our existing HVAC/R and plumbing offerings and provide a meaningful value proposition to our end use customers. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired included customer lists ($9.8 million), patent ($1.8 million), trademarks ($0.7 million), backlog ($0.1 million), inventory ($3.1 million), accounts receivable ($1.0 million), and equipment ($0.3 million). Customer lists, patent and backlog are being amortized over 15 years, 10 years and 1 month, respectively, while trademarks and goodwill are not being amortized.  The Company's evaluation of the facts and circumstances available as of July 8, 2022, to assign fair values to assets acquired is ongoing. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill and all intangible assets, including customer lists, trademarks, patent and backlog are deductible and amortized over 15 years for

income tax purposes. CG and ACG activity has been included in our Contractor Solutions segment since the acquisition date. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.

The additional $3.7 million we agreed to pay a third party was accounted for as an acquisition of intellectual property and will be amortized over 15 years.

Falcon Stainless, Inc.

On October 4, 2022, we acquired 100% of outstanding equity of Falcon Stainless, Inc ("Falcon"), based in Temecula, California, for an aggregate purchase price of $36.0 million, including cash consideration of $33.5 million and an additional payment of $2.5 million due one-year from the acquisition date assuming certain business conditions are met. Falcon products are well-known among the professional trades for supplying enhanced water flow delivery and increased customer satisfaction and supplement our Contractor Solutions segment's existing product portfolio. No Falcon activity was included in our second quarter results. Beginning with the acquisition date of October 4, 2022, Falcon activity will be included in our Contractor Solutions segment result during our third quarter.
