NOTE 2 – ACQUISITION:

On November 9, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of P3, a privately-owned custom turbomachinery engineering, product development, and manufacturing business located in Jupiter, Florida that serves the space, new energy and medical industries. The Company believes this acquisition furthers its growth strategy, further diversifies its market and product offerings, and broadens its turbomachinery solutions. P3 will be managed through the Company's Barber-Nichols, LLC ("BN") subsidiary and is highly complementary to BN's technology and enhances its turbomachinery solutions.

This transaction was accounted for as a business combination which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The purchase price of $10,494 was comprised of 125 shares of the Company's common stock, representing a value of $2,117 at a price of $16.85 per share, and cash consideration of $7,098, subject to certain potential adjustments, including a customary working capital adjustment. As of December 31, 2023, there was a $761 receivable accrued related to such working capital adjustment. The cash consideration was funded through borrowings on the Company's line of credit. The purchase agreement included a contingent earn-out dependent upon certain financial measures of P3 post-acquisition, in which the sellers are eligible to receive up to $3,000 in additional cash consideration. At December 31, 2023, a liability of $2,040 was recorded for the contingent earn-out. Acquisition related costs of $274 were expensed in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The cost of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and the amount exceeding the fair value of $1,565 was recorded as goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The fair value of acquisition-related intangible assets includes customer relationships, technology and technical know-how, and tradename. The tradename is included in the line item "Other intangible assets, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of customer relationships was calculated using an income approach, specifically the Multi Period Excess Earnings method, which incorporates assumptions regarding retention rate, new customer growth and customer related costs. The fair value of tradename and technology and technical know-how were both calculated using a Relief from Royalty method, which develops a market based royalty rate used to reflect the after tax royalty savings attributable to owning the intangible asset.

Customer relationships and tradename are amortized in selling, general and administrative expense on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of eight years and three years respectively. Technology and technical know-how is amortized in cost of products sold on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life of ten years.

The unaudited pro forma information presents the combined operating results of Graham Corporation and P3 with the results prior to the acquisition date adjusted to include the pro forma impact of the adjustment of depreciation of fixed assets based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, the adjustment to interest expense reflecting the cash paid in connection with the acquisition, including acquisition-related expenses, at the Company’s weighted average interest rate, amortization expense related to the fair value adjustments for intangible assets, non-recurring acquisition-related costs and the impact of income taxes on the pro forma adjustments utilizing the applicable statutory tax rate.

The unaudited pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes only. These pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of each of the periods presented, nor does the pro forma data intend to be a projection of results that may be obtained in the future.
