Fiscal 2026 Acquisitions

 

ASN Acquisition

 

On August 1, 2025, the Company acquired ASN Laundry Group (“ASN”), a New York-based distributor of commercial laundry products and a provider of related technical installation and maintenance services. The consideration paid by the Company in connection with the acquisition consisted of $0.5 million in cash. In addition, the Company assumed $0.1 million of accrued liabilities of ASN in connection with the transaction. Fees and expenses related to the acquisition, consisting primarily of legal and other professional fees, were not material and are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2026. The acquisition was treated for accounting purposes as a purchase of ASN using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), pursuant to which the consideration paid by the Company was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, in each case, based on their respective fair values as of the closing date, with the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired being allocated to goodwill. The Company allocated $0.6 million to goodwill, which is expected to be amortized and deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. Goodwill is attributable primarily to the assembled workforce, as well as the expected benefits from the increased scale of the Company as a result of the acquisition. The financial position, including assets and liabilities, of ASN is included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 and the results of operations of ASN subsequent to the August 1, 2025 closing date are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026.

Customer-related intangible assets will be amortized over 10 years.

Supplemental Pro Forma Results of Operations

 

The following supplemental pro forma information presents the results of operations of the Company for the nine and three months ended  March 31, 2025, after giving effect to the HMI, GNA, and BEL acquisitions, as if such acquisitions were consummated on July 1, 2024. As permitted by ASC 805-10-50-2, the following supplemental pro forma information does not give effect to the acquisition of ODL because it was impracticable to provide such information for the periods presented due to the lack of availability of meaningful financial statements of ODL that comply with GAAP. Because the acquisition of LPF was consummated on July 1, 2024, the results of operations of the Company for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2025 include the results of LPF for the entire duration of each such period.

 

The supplemental pro forma information set forth below reflects adjustments based on currently available information and assumptions made by management. While management believes the assumptions made are reasonable under the circumstances, they may not prove to be accurate. The pro forma information set forth below is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the Company would have been if the acquisitions of HMI, GNA, and BEL had occurred on the date assumed, nor is it indicative of future results of operations.
