RMS acquisition

On February 16, 2024 (the “RMS Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Rapid Machining Solutions - Wolcott Design Services (RMS) pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “RMS Agreement”) in exchange for cash consideration (the “RMS Acquisition”). The primary purpose of the business combination was to create synergies based on RMS’s expertise in Aviation and Aerospace industry and expand the Company’s design and manufacturing capabilities.

The RMS Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805 using the acquisition method of accounting. The assets and liabilities acquired, affected for adjustments to reflect fair values assigned to assets purchased and liabilities assumed, and results of operations, are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the RMS Acquisition Date. The Company recorded the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date as required under ASC 805. As of February 15, 2025, the valuation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities has been completed.

To fund the RMS Acquisition, the Company increased its TCW Term Note by $35.0 million. The fair value of the total purchase consideration transferred was $31.3 million in cash. The RMS Acquisition does not have any contingent consideration arrangements.

The Company also incurred $1.6 million of direct acquisition-related expenses, recognized as general, and administrative expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The following table sets forth the estimated fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in connection with the RMS Acquisition:

The fair value for both the customer backlog and the customer relationships were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”). This method reflects the present value of the operating cash flows generated by the intangible assets after considering the cost to realize the revenue, and an appropriate discount rate to reflect the time value and risk associated with the invested capital. In total, the intangible assets acquired subject to amortization have a weighted average life of 12.1 years.

MTI acquisition

On April 2, 2025 (the “MTI Acquisition Date”), the Company, through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Karman Parent LLC (“Karman Parent”), acquired all the issued and outstanding membership interests and other equity interests of MTI Metal Technology Inc., pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “MTI Agreement”) in exchange for cash consideration (the “ MTI Acquisition”). The acquisition of MTI expands the Company’s capabilities in advanced materials and is expected to strengthen its position in the strategic missile defense market through enhanced product offerings and customer relationships.

The MTI Acquisition met the requirements to be considered a business combination under ASC 805. The assets and liabilities acquired, affected for adjustments to reflect fair values assigned to assets purchased and liabilities assumed, and results of operations, are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the MTI Acquisition Date. The Company recorded the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date as required under ASC 805.

The MTI Acquisition was funded by the Company’s new Citi credit facilities and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the total purchase consideration transferred was $82.3 million. The MTI Acquisition does not have any contingent consideration arrangements.

The Company also incurred $1.4 million of direct acquisition-related expenses, recognized as general, and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

The fair value for trade name and developed technology was determined using the relief from royalty method and the fair values of customer relationships and backlog was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method. In total, the intangible assets acquired subject to amortization have a weighted average useful life of 11.0 years.

Net revenue and net income from this acquisition has been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the acquisition date through the end of the three months ended June 30, 2025, and the impact of the acquisition to the ongoing operations on the Company’s net revenue and net income was not significant. Supplemental pro forma results of operations have not been presented because they were not material to the condensed consolidated results of operations.

ISP acquisition

On May 28, 2025 (the “ISP Acquisition Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of Industrial Solid Propulsion (“ISP”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ISP Agreement”), under which the Company purchased all issued and outstanding equity interests in ISP and related real estate of ISP, for approximately $50 million in cash and 147,842 shares of common stock of the Company and a $5.0 million potential earnout (the “Earnout”), subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing adjustments. The ISP Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The acquisition of ISP expands the Company’s capabilities in small-diameter solid propellant and energetic propulsion systems, strengthening its position in the UAS and missile defense markets through proprietary technologies and integrated manufacturing expertise.

The ISP Acquisition met the requirements to be considered a business combination under ASC 805. The assets and liabilities acquired, affected for adjustments to reflect fair values assigned to assets purchased and liabilities assumed, and results of operations, are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the ISP Acquisition Date. The Company recorded the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date as required under ASC 805.

The ISP Acquisition was funded by increasing the Company’s term note and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the total purchase consideration transferred was $58.6 million, of which $52.9 million represents cash consideration, $5.7 million represents the fair value of the equity consideration as of the ISP Acquisition Date. Of the $52.9 million cash consideration, $3.9 million represents the fair value of the Earnout, which was recorded in other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed balance sheets. The earnout liability was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation under a risk-neutral framework, based on the average present value of the simulated earnout payments. The Earnout provides for a cash payment equal to $5.0 million to the seller of ISP, contingent upon the achievement of specified Adjusted EBITDA threshold for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as defined in the ISP Agreement. If the Adjusted EBITDA threshold is achieved, the Earnout is expected to be paid in 2026.

The Company also incurred $1.2 million of direct acquisition-related expenses, recognized as general, and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
