14.      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 earn-out 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 earn-out to be $0.6 million; the earn-out liability is recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” on the Condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are related to acquisition activities, which include retention, legal, accounting, banking, and other expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, EIS accounted for $5.3 and $5.8 million in revenue, respectively and $0.4 million and $0.6 million of net income included in the Company’s results, respectively.

 


Mader

 

On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement (“JV Agreement”) with Mader Holdings L.P. (“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 Condensed 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 September 30, 2020, there were $6.2 million in current assets, $8.7 million in long-lived assets, and $7.3 million in total liabilities related to the Effox-Mader joint venture included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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.
