The Announcement
The purchase price for the transaction is about $14.5 million, payable in cash and stock of Dynatronics, with an additional contingent payment payable after 12 months on the basis of post-closing revenues of Bird & Cronin. The payment is structured in the form of $9.1 million through cash while the issuance of $3.6 million will be through the shares of Dynatronics’ Series D Preferred stock.
The Company has agreed to pay initially between $0.5 million and $1.5 million in cash to the seller, where about $0.9 million in cash and $0.4 million in stock will be subject to a holdback, with 50% of the holdback being released in one year from the closing date and the other 50% would be released about two years from the closing date.
The Hausmann Acquisition
Dynatronics announced the agreement to acquire Hausmann Industries (“Hausmann”) on March 22, 2017, for about $10.0 million in cash, subject to adjustments. Pro-forma combined sales for Dynatronics and Hausmann for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2015, was about $45 million, where Hausmann’s products accounted for about 32% of the combined revenues.
Hausmann is based in New Jersey, and manufactures laminated treatment tables and wood products, which are complementary to the Company’s existing portfolio of solid wood and custom design treatment tables. Hausmann primarily sells to third-party dealers and generates a lower gross margin percentage that historically reported by Dynatronics, but resulted in lower selling costs.
Q4 FY17 Results
Dynatronics also announced its Q4 FY17 results and full-year FY17 results for the period ended June 30, 2017. During Q4 FY17, the Company successfully bought and integrated Hausmann, followed by the Bird & Cronin acquisition. According to the Company, the Hausmann acquisition, coupled with Bird & Cronin and the legacy of the Dynatronics business, enhances its competitive position and places the Company to further implement its growth strategy.
For full-year FY17, Dynatronics reported an increase in net sales of 17.6% to $35.8 million versus $30.4 million for FY16. The profit for FY17 rose 11.1% to $11.5 million representing 32.2% of sales versus 34.0% of the reported sales for FY16. The acquisition of the assets of Hausmann during Q4 FY17 has led to increases in net sales and gross profits, according to the Company, where the Hausmann operations accounted for $3.8 million of the sales increase and about $1.1 million increase in the gross profits during both Q4 FY17 and full-year FY17.
Last Close Stock Review
