Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors

Schenck Process Holding GmbH

Report on the Audit of the Combined Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the combined financial statements of Schenck Food and Performance Materials Business (the Company), which comprise the combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, and the related combined statement of income, statement of comprehensive income, changes in parent company net investment, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the combined financial statements.

In our opinion, based on our audit, the accompanying combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Combined Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Combined Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the combined financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the combined financial statements are issued.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Combined Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the combined financial statements.

	KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and a member firm of
	the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with
	KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

●

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

●

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements.

●

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

●

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.

●

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements

(in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

Note 1 – Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business

Schenck Food and Performance Materials Business (“FPM,” “the Company,” “our,” or “we”), component of Schenck Process Group (“Schenck”, “Group”, or “the Parent”), is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, with operations primarily in the United States, the United Kingdom, Thailand, and Brazil, with approximately 85% of revenues generated in North America. FPM specializes in the design, manufacturing, and service of, among other technologies, feeding, filtration, baking, depositing, milling, and material handling equipment, and systems for the food, plastics, chemicals, and construction material industries.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

The Company historically operated as consolidated businesses of Schenck. As such, separate financial statements have not historically been prepared for the Company. The combined financial statements have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Schenck and include Schenck Process Holding North America Inc. and subsidiaries and Baker Perkins Holdings Limited and subsidiaries. The combined financial statements may not be indicative of the Company’s future performance and do not necessarily reflect what the results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had it operated as a separate, stand-alone business during the periods presented. Our Combined Statement of Income includes all revenues and costs directly attributable and allocated to the Company, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by the Company. The Company relied on Schenck’s corporate, shared services, and supply chain functions for its business. Therefore, certain corporate and shared costs have been allocated to the Company including: (i) certain costs related to support functions that are provided on a centralized basis within Schenck, including expenses for executive oversight, treasury, tax, finance, legal, human resources, compliance, information technology, selling, research and development and other corporate functions and (ii) certain supply chain costs incurred by Schenck, including quality, product sourcing, engineering, technical services and other supply chain support functions. These expenses have been allocated to the Company based on a specific identification basis or, when specific identification is not practicable, a proportional cost allocation method primarily based on revenue, headcount, or other allocation methods depending on the nature of the services.

Management believes these cost allocations are a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit derived by, the Company during the periods presented, though the allocations may not be indicative of the actual costs that would have been incurred had the Company operated as a standalone company. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by the Company’s employees, and other strategic decisions. In addition, the future results of operations, financial position and cash flows could differ materially from the historical results presented herein.

Schenck utilizes a centralized approach to treasury, cash management and financing its operations. The cash and cash equivalents held by Schenck at the corporate level are not specifically identifiable to the Company and therefore have not been reflected in the Company’s Combined Balance Sheet. Cash in the Combined Balance Sheet represent cash held by legal entities of the Company that are specifically attributable to the Company. Schenck’s external debt and related expense have not been attributed to the Company for the periods presented because Schenck’s borrowings are neither directly attributable to the Company nor is the Company the legal obligor of such borrowings.

Schenck Food and Performance Materials Business

A Business of Schenck Process Group

All intercompany transactions and balances within the Company have been eliminated. Transactions between the Company and Schenck have been included in the combined financial statements and are deemed to have been effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction is recorded, unless otherwise noted. See Note 13 – Related party receivables from affiliated entities for additional information on transactions between the Company and Schenck.

A net parent investment is shown in lieu of common stock and retained earnings accounts in the combined financial statements. The total net effect of the settlement of the transactions between the Company and Parent, exclusive of those historically settled in cash, is reflected in the combined statements of cash flows in cash flows from financing activities as net transfers (to) from parent and in the combined balance sheet as Net Parent Investment.

The Group consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and the reporting currency is Euro (“EUR”). Hence appropriate US GAAP conversion adjustments were made to prepare the combined financial statements of the Company in accordance with US GAAP and presented in US dollars.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the combined financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future, economic, and market conditions, which affect the reported amounts and related disclosures in the combined financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although our estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful life of fixed assets, the recognition and measurement of provisions, the measurement of intangible assets and realization of receivables through the recognition of valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties.

Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue consists of: 1) project- based contracts to provide customer-specific equipment and services including among others, design, manufacturing and installation; and 2) the sale of standardized devices, systems and equipment, including software.

The Company evaluates and records revenue using a five-step model which requires the following: 1) identify the contract with the customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contracts; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue upon transferring control to the customer either over time or at a point in time based upon the type of arrangement with the customer.

For the project-based contracts we typically conclude that there is a single performance obligation because the promises in the contract are highly interrelated or comprise a series of distinct services performed over time. For these contracts we have concluded that control transfers continuously over the contract because the contracts require the customer to pay for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and to take control of work-in-process. Revenue is recognized over time and based on the extent of progress toward completion using a cost-to-cost measure as it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Under the cost-to-cost measure, extent of progress toward completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion which results in revenue being recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Contract costs consist of direct costs on contracts, including labor, materials, amounts payable to subcontractors and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as equipment costs, insurance, and employee benefits. When contracts are modified, the additional goods or

Schenck Food and Performance Materials Business

A Business of Schenck Process Group

services are generally not distinct from those already provided and as a result, these modifications form part of an existing contract which results in the Company recognizing a cumulative catch-up to revenue and gross profit. Additionally, the Company periodically updates the estimates of the costs to complete the project which results in cumulative catch-up adjustments to revenue and gross profit. Since contracts extend over a period of time (generally less than 2 years), the impact of revisions in revenue and costs estimates may impact current period earnings. Additionally, if the estimates to complete indicate an overall loss on the contract, a provision is made for the total anticipated loss in the period it becomes evident.

Standardized product sales transactions are recorded as a single performance obligation with revenue recognized at the point in time the customer takes control of the goods which is usually upon delivery or upon formal acceptance by customer if agreed to with the customer.

The Company invoices its customer in accordance with an agreed upon billing schedule which sometimes is either before or after the revenue is recognized and results in the Company recording contract assets and liabilities (see Note 3 for further information regarding contracts assets and liabilities). Most invoices are due within 30 to 60 days.

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight, after control over a product has transferred to a customer, are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of goods sold as incurred. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis. Accordingly, such taxes are excluded from both net sales and expenses.

The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive under the arrangement. The Company is required to estimate variable consideration (if any) and to factor that estimate into the determination of the transaction price. The Company may offer sales incentives to customers, including discounts. In the case of standardized product sales, the Company has significant experience with returns and refund patterns and relied on this experience in its determination that expected returns are not material; therefore, returns are not considered when determining the transaction price.

Warranty and Related Obligations

The Company offers standard assurance type warranties for a specific period, which are not separate performance obligations. In case of products/services that fail to conform to the warranties, the purchasers are entitled to, at the Company’s option, replacement of the goods and/or reperformance of the services, or refund of the purchase price. Warranty costs are expensed as incurred and charged to cost of goods sold. We record accruals for potential warranty claims based on prior product warranty experience. The warranty accrual for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $5.9 million, which was included in our Combined Balanced Sheet within Other Provisions. The warranty accrual is reviewed on a quarterly basis based upon management’s assessment of past claims and experience. However, actual claims could be higher or lower than amounts estimated, as the amount and value of warranty claims are subject to variation as a result of many factors that cannot be predicted with certainty.

Research and development costs

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses relate to the development of new and improved products, technical product support and compliance with governmental regulation. Costs relating to research and development activities are expensed as incurred.

Commitments and Contingencies

We record accruals for commitments and loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of loss, and these assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and

Schenck Food and Performance Materials Business

A Business of Schenck Process Group

may rely on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. We review these accruals at the end of each reporting period and adjust the accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other current information. See Note 14 for additional information.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency for our foreign subsidiaries is generally the local currency. When the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar, asset and liability accounts are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the end of each period and income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation from period to period are included in accumulated other income (“AOCI”). The beginning and ending amounts of cumulative translation adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2022, were $2.4 million and $0.7 million respectively.

Transactions in foreign currencies other than the functional currency are measured at the transaction date and remeasured until settled. Gain or losses from foreign currency transactions are reported in our Combined Statement of Income within Foreign currency gain, net.

Income taxes

The Company operates in numerous countries and, consequently, is subject to various tax authorities. The determination of tax liabilities requires a wide range of management assumptions. However, there is no guarantee that the actual outcome of unforeseeable events will correspond to the assumptions made. Any differences may have an effect on the tax liabilities or deferred taxes in the related year. The tax provision and current and deferred tax balances have been prepared on a separate-return basis as if the Company were a separate filer.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the new tax rate is enacted.

As a result of applying the separate-return basis approach, actual tax transactions included in the consolidated financial statements of FPM may not be included in the consolidated financial statements. Similarly, the tax treatment of certain items reflected in the consolidated financial statements may not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements and tax returns of FPM. Therefore, portions of items such as net operating losses (“NOLs”), credit carryforwards, interest expense limitation carryforwards, other deferred taxes, and valuation allowances may exist in the consolidated financial statements that may or may not exist in FPM’s consolidated financial statements and vice versa. The income taxes of the Company as presented in the consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the income taxes that the Company will incur in the future.

We operate on a global basis and are subject to numerous and complex tax laws and regulations. Our income tax filings are regularly under audit in multiple federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. Income tax audits may require an extended period of time to reach resolution and may result in significant income tax adjustments when interpretation of tax laws or allocation of company profits is disputed. Because income tax adjustments in certain jurisdictions can be significant, we record accruals representing management’s best estimate of the probable resolution of these matters. To the extent additional information becomes available, such accruals are adjusted to reflect the revised estimated probable outcome.

We record liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is recognition, where we evaluate whether an individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, no tax benefit is recorded. For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, we perform the second step of measuring the benefit to be recorded. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from our estimates. In future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require us to change the recognition and

measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in the consolidated statement of income and consolidated balance sheet in the period in which such changes occur.

When estimating the recoverability of deferred tax assets, management evaluates the extent to which there are more reasons for than against realization. Whether the deferred tax assets can actually be realized will depend on whether sufficient taxable income can be generated in the future against which temporary differences or tax loss carryforwards may be offset. To this end, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets include goodwill, trademark rights, customer relationships, technologies and other intangible assets (customer relationships, patents, software, licenses, and similar rights).

Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized. The Company carries out an impairment test on goodwill once annually and, if necessary, on a case-by-case basis when there are indications of impairment. Impairment tests on goodwill are performed at the reporting unit level, which has been concluded to commensurate with the Company level. If the fair value of the reporting unit is below the carrying amount of the goodwill, the goodwill is impaired.

Intangible assets that were acquired for consideration are recognized at cost. Intangible assets, with the exception of goodwill and a portion of trademark rights have finite useful lives and the cost of the intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life. Intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, and more frequently when there is a triggering event. Annually, or when there is a triggering event, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment by evaluating all relevant events and circumstances to determine if it is more likely than not that the intangible assets are impaired; this includes considering any potential effect on significant inputs to determining the fair value of the intangible assets. When it is more likely than not that an intangible asset is impaired, then the Company calculates the fair value of the intangible asset and performs a quantitative impairment test. There was no impairment loss related to intangible assets recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:

		Useful life in years
Trademark rights		8 to 9
Technologies		7 to 16
Customer relationships		1 to 25

Fixed Assets

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

		Useful life in years
Computer hardware		1 to 5
Operating and office equipment		1 to 10
Machinery and equipment		1 to 10
Buildings, improvements and fittings		2 to 30

Schenck Food and Performance Materials Business

A Business of Schenck Process Group

Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Major improvements that extend the life or increase the capacity of property owned are capitalized. Major improvements to leased buildings are capitalized as leasehold improvements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets, which includes fixed assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines if the assets are recoverable by comparing the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value. Events or changes in circumstances that could result in an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. Impairment is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its fair value. There was no impairment loss related to fixed assets recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Restricted Cash

The Company has a restricted cash balance held with a financial institution to facilitate bank guarantees issued in the form of letters of credit on behalf of a customer. The restricted cash is held pursuant to an agreement with the financial institution, which specifies that the funds are held as collateral for the bank guarantees. The restricted cash becomes accessible upon the successful fulfillment and completion of the customer orders for which the bank guarantees were granted. The Company anticipates that the release of restricted cash upon the satisfaction of these obligations will have no significant impact on its liquidity or cash flows.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using average costs or in accordance with the “first in – first out” (FIFO) method. The cost of finished products inventories includes raw materials, direct labor, certain freight and warehousing costs, indirect production, and overhead costs.

Leases

The Company, at the inception of the contract, determines whether a contract is or contains a lease. The Company records right-of-use assets and lease obligations for its finance and operating leases with a term greater than 12 months, which are initially recognized based on the discounted future minimum lease payments over the term of the lease. The Company has elected the short-term practical expedient for short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. As a result, the Company does not apply balance sheet recognition for these short-term leases and records lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company uses the implicit rate in the lease, if available, for calculating the present value of the lease payments. If the implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company will use the applicable incremental borrowing rate in calculating the present value of the sum of the lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used. The Company normally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. To determine its incremental borrowing rate, the Company obtains interest rates from various external financing sources and applies certain adjustments taking into account the issued bonds, in order to reflect the lease terms and the type of underlying asset. The lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

	-	fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments);
	-	amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.
	-	the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option;

Schenck Food and Performance Materials Business

and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

The Company evaluates renewal options at lease inception and on an ongoing basis and includes renewal options that it is reasonably certain to exercise in its expected lease terms when classifying leases and measuring lease liabilities.

The Company recognizes expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company recognizes interest expense and depreciation expense for finance leases. Depreciation expense for assets held under finance leases are computed using the straight-line method over the lease term or useful life for leases that contain a transfer of title or reasonably certain purchase option. The Company elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes in determining the lease liability.

The Company’s real estate leases include base rent escalation clauses. The majority of these are based on the change in a local consumer price or similar inflation index. Payments that may vary based on an index or rate are included in the measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the rate as of the commencement date. The Company does not have significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants in the lease portfolio.

Assets and liabilities from contracts with customers

Contract assets primarily relate to amounts for contracts with customers for which the amount of revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are transferred to a receivable (billed or unbilled) once the right to payment is unconditional. Contract liabilities, or deferred revenue, are recorded for amounts collected in advance of the satisfaction of contractual performance obligations. Contract assets and liabilities are reported as separate items in the Combined Balance Sheet.

Financial instruments

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are amounts owed by customers for goods and services sold during the ordinary course of the business. They generally fall due within 30 days and are therefore classified as current. Trade receivables are presented net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses represents the Company’s estimate of probable credit losses relating to trade receivables. The Company uses various methods as deemed appropriate to make this estimate. Methods include leveraging historical information relating to the timing of payments, assessing current conditions, using reasonable and supportable forecasts, and aging analysis with specified reserves depending on the aging “bucket”. Trade receivables are written off when it is reasonably determined that they are no longer realizable (default event).

Receivables Factoring Arrangement

The Company has an account receivable financing arrangement (“Arrangement”) with a financial institution (“Factor”). The maximum value of the Arrangement is $30.0 million on December 31, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, the Company sells certain accounts receivable assets to the Factor. At time of sale 85% of the accounts receivable asset sold is remitted by the Factor to the Company. The final 15% is remitted to the Company at time of customer collection. In accordance with ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”), this arrangement is not deemed a true sale, as the Company retains effective control over the transferred receivables. As such, the Company continues to report the transferred financial assets as Trade Receivables in its Combined Balance Sheet with no change in the assets’ measurement, and recorded amounts payable to the Factor as secured borrowings. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s liability under this arrangement was $23.1 million which is included in Financial Liabilities in the Combined Balance Sheet. The cost of factoring is included as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Combined Statement of Income. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred $0.9 million in factoring discount.

Allowances for Credit Losses

When we record trade receivables and contract assets, we maintain an allowance for credit losses for the current expected credit losses. We routinely evaluate our entire portfolio for potential specific credit or collection issues that might indicate an impairment. Financial assets for which there is objective evidence of an impairment are credit-impaired and are subject to specific valuation allowance. Trade receivables and contract assets are presented net of an allowance for credit losses and impairment losses, if any.

Retirement Plans

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company’s employee participates in defined contribution retirement plans. The Company has defined contribution plans in domestic and international locations under which the Company matches a portion of the employee's contributions and may make discretionary contributions to the plans. The Company's contributions were $5.1 million, which was recorded in Combined Statement of Income within general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Advertising Costs

The advertising costs are expensed as incurred and the balances are included in the Combined Income Statement within marketing and selling expenses. The total amount of advertising expense was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income, including trade receivables, based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The requirements of ASU 2016-13 are to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, which entails recognizing the initial effect of adoption in retained earnings. The Company has not adopted this guidance on our combined financial statements and is continuing to assess the impact of the guidance.

Schenck Food and Performance Materials Business

A Business of Schenck Process Group

The amount of UTBs that, if recognized as of December 31, 2022, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate is $14.5 million. It is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, total UTBs may decrease in the range of $0.2 to $3.1 million primarily as a result of the conclusion of certain U.S. federal income tax proceedings.

The Company classifies interest and penalty accruals related to UTBs as income tax expense. In 2022, the Company recognized a negligible interest and penalty expense. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had negligible accruals for the payment of interest and penalties.

Within the Combined Balance Sheet, the liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is reflected within the Income tax liabilities – non-current caption. Unrecognized tax benefits are reported as a reduction of a deferred tax asset to the extent the recognition of the benefit would impact the deferred tax asset, pursuant to ASU 2013-11.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., various states and foreign jurisdictions. Certain subsidiaries of the Company are currently under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for the periods related to 2018, and all subsequent tax years remain open under statute. In addition to the U.S., the Company has tax years that remain open and subject to examination by tax authorities in the United Kingdom for years after 2020.

The components of net deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as follows:

Deferred taxes were classified in the Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022, as follows:

	As of December 31, 2022
Other non-current assets	$	94
Deferred income taxes		(4,174	)
Net deferred tax liability	$	(4,080	)

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $12.2 million all of which has an indefinite carryforward period. The entirety of this net operating loss carryforward balance was acquired via previous transactions and is subject to limitations under Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986. These carryforwards are available, subject to certain limitations, to offset future taxable income. Additionally, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards in various foreign jurisdictions totaling $5.8 million, for which the principal balance has an indefinite carryforward period.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had interest expense carryforwards for U.S. income tax purposes of $86.8 million. The entire amount has an indefinite carryforward period. These carryforwards are available, subject to certain limitations, to offset future taxable income.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had U.S. state research and development credit carryforwards of $0.3 million, certain of which expire from 2027 to 2032, and certain of which have an indefinite carryforward period.

The Company evaluated its ability to realize tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets and concluded, based on the available evidence, that is more likely than not that certain of these deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2022, relates to the portion of tax credit carryforwards that we do not expect to be able to utilize.

The Company asserts that any excess amount of financial statement reporting over the tax basis in investments in foreign subsidiaries is indefinitely reinvested, and the determination of any deferred tax liability on this amount is not practicable.

Note 12 – Management of Financial Risks

The Company is exposed to various financial risks arising from its business activities. In particular, changes in interest rates and exchange rates can have a significant effect on the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Company. In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risks, which result mainly from trade receivables, gross amounts due from customers for contract work and financial receivables from factoring. Liquidity risks also exist as a result of fluctuations in cash flows.

The Company has issued internal guidelines for risk controlling procedures, which govern the use of financial instruments and thereby include a clear segregation of duties with regard to the operative financing activities, their settlement and accounting, and the controlling of the financial instruments. The guidelines on which the Company's risk management processes are based are designed to identify and analyze the risks throughout the Company. They are furthermore designed to limit and control the risks appropriately, and to monitor them.

Credit risks

Credit risk is the risk of economic loss that arises when a counterparty fails to comply with its contractual payment obligations. The credit risk includes the direct risk of default due to a deterioration in the counterparty's liquidity situation associated with the risk of a concentration of individual risks. The Company has one customer that comprises approximately 24% of revenue for 2022. Despite this concentration, the Company assesses that the associated credit risk is mitigated due to the Company being in a liability position with this customer, where the prepaid amount exceeds the value of work performed to -date. In the event of a non-payment, the Company retains the option to stop work on the contract and the cumulative funds received to-date surpass the corresponding costs incurred. The Company has no material concentration of credit risk or default risk, either with regard to customers or to individual countries.

A Business of Schenck Process Group

For all business relationships providing the basis for primary financial instruments, the rule applies that, in order to minimize the default risk, collateral shall be demanded, credit reports or references be obtained or historical data relating to the past business relationship be used, particularly data regarding payment history, depending on the nature and amount of the respective transaction. Commensurate valuation allowances are recognized in order to factor in the identifiable default risks that cannot be excluded for individual receivables, as well as the company's general credit risk.

Liquidity risks

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that arises when a company may be unable to fulfill its financial obligations. The Company counters this risk with a liquidity forecast for the entire Company based on a fixed planning horizon. The Company manages its liquidity by having sufficient liquid funds and bank credit lines available in addition to maintaining its cash flows from operating activities, primarily cash inflows from trade receivables.

Note 13 – Related Party

The combined financial statements have been prepared on a standalone basis and are derived from the combined financial statements and accounting records of Parent. The following discussion summarizes activity between the Company and Parent and the receivables from affiliated entities balances shown separately.

Allocation of General Corporate and Other Expenses

The combined statements of operations include expenses for certain centralized functions and other programs provided and administered by Parent that are charged directly to the Company. In addition, for purposes of preparing these combined financial statements on a carve-out basis, a portion of Parent’s general corporate expenses has been allocated to the Company. Costs were allocated to the Company based on direct usage when identifiable or, when not directly identifiable, on the basis of proportional net revenues or headcount, as applicable. Management considers the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to reasonably reflect the benefit received by the Company during the period presented. However, the allocations may not reflect the expenses the Company would have incurred if it had been a standalone company for the period presented.

The following table is a summary of corporate and other allocations:

	Year Ended December 31,

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements

(in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

Note 1 – Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and present the results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows in U.S. dollars for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and the financial position as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Schenck utilizes a centralized approach to treasury, cash management and financing its operations. The cash and cash equivalents held by Schenck at the corporate level are not specifically identifiable to the Company and therefore have not been reflected in the Company’s Combined Balance Sheets. Cash in the Combined Balance Sheets represent cash held by legal entities of the Company that are specifically attributable to the Company. Schenck’s external debt and related expense have not been attributed to the Company for the periods presented because Schenck’s borrowings are neither directly attributable to the Company nor is the Company the legal obligor of such borrowings.

Schenck Food and Performance Materials Business

A Business of Schenck Process Group

All intercompany transactions and balances within the Company have been eliminated. Transactions between the Company and Schenck have been included in the combined financial statements and are deemed to have been effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction is recorded, unless otherwise noted. See note 13 – Related party receivables from affiliated entities for additional information on transactions between the Company and Schenck.

The Group consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and the reporting currency is Euro (“EUR”). Hence appropriate GAAP conversion adjustments were made to prepare the combined financial statements of the Company in accordance with US GAAP and presented in US dollars.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future, economic, and market conditions, which affect the reported amounts and related disclosures in the combined financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although our estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies in preparing the Combined Financial Statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in the Company’s most recent annual financial statements prepared for the year ended December 31, 2022

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income, including trade receivables, based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023. As a result of the Company’s assessment on its trade receivables, ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Combined Financial Statements.

The change was driven by the impact of revenue recognized prior to billings. The balance in the contract liabilities at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $84.9 million and $69.9 million, respectively, and consists primarily of cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying performance obligations. Revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, related to the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the years, were approximately $45.5 million and $43.8 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not observe any indications of impairment requiring the need for an interim impairment assessment.

Note 6 – Allowance for Credit Losses

We maintain an allowance for credit losses for the current expected credit losses when we record trade receivables and contract assets. We routinely evaluate our entire portfolio for potential specific credit or collection issues that might indicate an impairment. Financial assets for which there is objective evidence of an impairment are credit-impaired and are subject to specific valuation allowance. Trade receivables and contract assets are presented net of an allowance for credit losses and impairment losses, if any.

Note 9 – Management of Financial Risks

Schenck Food and Performance Materials Business

A Business of Schenck Process Group

risk management processes are based and designed to identify and analyze the risks throughout the Company. They are furthermore designed to limit and control the risks appropriately, and to monitor them.

Credit risks

Credit risk is the risk of economic loss that arises when a counterparty fails to comply with its contractual payment obligations. The credit risk includes the direct risk of default due to a deterioration in the counterparty's liquidity situation associated with the risk of a concentration of individual risks. The Company has one customer that comprises approximately 15% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Despite this concentration, the Company assesses that the associated credit risk is mitigated due to the Company being in a liability position with this customer, where the prepaid amount exceeds the value of work performed to-date. In the event of a non-payment, the Company retains the option to stop work on the contract and the cumulative funds received to-date surpass the corresponding costs incurred. The Company has no material concentration of credit risk or default risk, either with regard to customers or to individual countries.

Liquidity risks

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that arises when a company may be unable to fulfill its financial obligations. The Company counters this risk with a liquidity forecast based on a fixed planning horizon. The Company manages its liquidity by having sufficient liquid funds and bank credit lines available in addition to maintaining its cash flows from operating activities, primarily cash inflows from trade receivables.

Note 10 – Retirement Benefits

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company’s employee participates in defined contribution retirement plans. The Company has defined contribution plans in domestic and international locations under which the Company matches a portion of the employee’s contributions and may take discretionary contributions to the plans. The Company’s contributions were $2.7 million and $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as our current reserves and insurance coverage, we do not expect that such legal proceedings will have any material adverse impact on our financial statements. However, there can be no assurance that an adverse outcome in any of proceedings will not result in material fines, penalties or damages, changes to the Company's business practices, loss of (or litigation with) customers or a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

Note 12 – Subsequent Events

Other than those described in the Notes to the Combined Financial Statements, no events have occurred after June 30, 2023, but before August 25, 2023, the date the Combined Financial Statements were issued, that require consideration as adjustments to, or disclosures in, the Combined Financial Statements.

Exhibit 99.4

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

On September 1, 2023, Hillenbrand, Inc. (the "Company") completed its acquisition (the "Acquisition") of the Schenck Process Food and Performance Materials Business ("FPM") under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2023 (the "Agreement"), between Hillenbrand's wholly owned subsidiary Milacron LLC and Schenck Process Holding GmbH (the "Seller") for total aggregate consideration of $738.7 million in cash, reflecting an enterprise value of approximately $730.0 million plus cash acquired at closing, subject to specified adjustments, including $10.0 million payable following the closing in respect of transaction expenses of the Seller, as set forth in the Agreement. The Acquisition was effected pursuant to the Agreement through the acquisition by wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company of all of the outstanding equity interests in entities owning the FPM operating companies. FPM provides material processing solutions and aftermarket offerings across various end markets, including food, chemicals and performance materials. The consideration paid upon the closing of the Acquisition was funded by a portion of the proceeds from the following borrowings (collectively referred to as the "Debt Financing"):

•

a term loan of €185.0 million ($201.7 million) (the "Term Loan") under the delayed-draw term loan facility governed by the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended (the "Amended Credit Agreement"); and

•

borrowings of $558.9 million, consisting of €320.0 million ($348.9 million) and $210.0 million, under the Company's $1,000.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") governed by the Amended Credit Agreement.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The Company and FPM have different fiscal years: the Company's fiscal year ends on September 30, and FPM’s historical fiscal year ends on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, has been prepared utilizing period ends that differ by one fiscal quarter or less, as permitted by Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, gives effect to the Acquisition and the Debt Financing as if those transactions had been completed on June 30, 2023, and combines the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2023, with FPM’s historical unaudited combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 and the nine months ended June 30, 2023, give effect to the Acquisition and Debt Financing as if those transactions had occurred on October 1, 2021, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 and combine the historical results of the Company and FPM. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, combines the audited consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 and FPM’s audited combined statement of income for FPM's fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, combines the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, with FPM’s unaudited combined statement of income for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, which has been calculated by adding FPM's results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to its results for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

The historical financial statements of the Company and FPM have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are transaction accounting adjustments which are necessary to account for the Acquisition, the Debt Financing, and transaction costs in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that our management believes are reasonable.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with:

•

the accompanying notes to unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements;

•

Accounting for the Acquisition

The Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with the Company as the accounting acquirer in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). Under this method of accounting, the aggregate purchase price will be allocated to FPM’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of Acquisition. Any differences between the estimated fair value of the consideration transferred and the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill. The process of valuing the net assets of FPM immediately prior to the Acquisition, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, has not yet been completed. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price allocation and related adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value. Refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation for more information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the Acquisition and the Debt Financing had been completed on the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results or financial position of the Company.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, gives effect to the Acquisition and the Debt Financing as if those transactions had been completed on June 30, 2023, and combines the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2023, with FPM’s historical unaudited combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, and the nine months ended June 30, 2023, give effect to the Acquisition and the Debt Financing as if those transactions had occurred on October 1, 2021, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, and combine the historical results of the Company and FPM. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, combines the audited consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 and FPM’s audited combined statement of income for FPM's fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, combines the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, with FPM’s unaudited combined statement of income for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, which has been calculated by adding FPM's results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to its results for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Thus, FPM's results for the three months ended December 31, 2022 are included in both the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. FPM's revenue and net income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were $152.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

The Company's and FPM’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. dollars. As discussed in Note 2, certain reclassifications were made to align the Company's and FPM’s financial statement presentation. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating FPM’s accounting policies. That evaluation may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the Company and FPM. Based on the information currently available, the Company has determined on a preliminary basis that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform FPM’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by the Company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with the Company as the accounting acquirer, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and based on the historical financial statements of the Company and FPM. Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their assumed acquisition date fair value, while transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of aggregate consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill.

Allocation of the aggregate consideration (i.e., the purchase price) depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, all of which are preliminary. A preliminary purchase price allocation has been made for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The final determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Acquisition could differ materially from the preliminary purchase price allocation.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, presented herein, are based on the historical financial statements of the Company and FPM. As a result of the Company having a different fiscal period-end than FPM, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been aligned as follows:

•

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, is presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on June 30, 2023, and combines the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2023, with the historical unaudited combined balance sheet of FPM as of June 30, 2023.

•

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, has been prepared as if the Acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2021, and combines the Company’s historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, with FPM’s historical unaudited combined statement of income for the nine months ended June 30, 2023.

◦

FPM’s historical unaudited combined statement of income for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, was prepared by adding FPM's unaudited combined statement of income for six months ended June 30, 2023, to FPM's unaudited combined statement of income for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

•

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, has been prepared as if the Acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2021, and combines the Company’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, with FPM’s historical audited combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as permitted by Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X, which allows utilizing period ends that differ by one fiscal quarter or less when preparing pro forma statement of operations for the fiscal year.

The pro forma adjustments represent management’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Company is not aware of any material transactions between the Company and FPM during the periods presented. Accordingly, adjustments to eliminate transactions between the Company and FPM have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The Company and FPM Reclassification Adjustments

During the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, management performed a preliminary analysis of FPM’s financial information to identify differences in financial statement presentation as compared to the presentation of the Company. Based on a preliminary analysis performed, certain reclassification adjustments have been made to conform FPM’s historical combined financial statement presentation to the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation. The Company is currently performing a full and detailed review of its financial statement presentation and accounting policies, which could result in amounts set forth in the Company's consolidated financial statements being materially different from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein.

Refer to the table below for a summary of adjustments made to present FPM's historical unaudited combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, to conform with the presentation of the Company's historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.

	(f)	Reflects a reclassification of $0.5 million of gains on transactions in foreign currencies other than functional currencies from foreign currency gain, net to operating expenses.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

Estimated Aggregate Acquisition Consideration

The aggregate consideration for the Acquisition was $748.7 million, including $10.0 million in respect of transaction expenses of the Seller, subject to certain other post-closing adjustments.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The accounting for the Acquisition, including the preliminary aggregate consideration, is based on provisional amounts, and the associated purchase accounting is not final. Specifically, the preliminary estimate of fair values does not currently contemplate a step-up to the fair value of property, plant, and equipment, or a remeasurement of the acquired operating and finance leases, as of the Acquisition date. The Company will complete its assessment of these estimated fair values within the allowable measurement

period. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was based upon the preliminary estimate of fair values. For the preliminary estimate of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of FPM, the Company used publicly available benchmarking information as well as a variety of other assumptions, including market participant assumptions. The Company is expected to use widely accepted income-based, market-based, and cost-based valuation approaches upon finalization of purchase accounting for the Acquisition. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The purchase price adjustments relating to the FPM and the Company's unaudited condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to change, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation, as if the Acquisition had been completed on June 30, 2023:

(in millions)	Amount
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	12.9
Trade receivables		66.5
Receivables from long-term manufacturing contracts		23.8
Inventories (i)		70.7
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		35.1
Property, plant, and equipment		28.0
Operating lease right-of-use assets		9.8
Intangible assets (ii)		338.0
Goodwill		488.7
Other long-term assets		1.3
Total assets acquired	$	1,074.8

Liabilities assumed:
Trade accounts payable	$	62.1
Liabilities from long-term manufacturing contracts and advances		111.1
Accrued compensation		10.3
Other current liabilities		59.7
Operating lease liabilities		9.7
Deferred income taxes (iii)		69.0
Other long-term liabilities		4.2
Total liabilities assumed	$	326.1

Purchase price (fair value of consideration transferred)	$	748.7

(i)

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to record FPM’s inventories at a preliminary fair value of $70.7 million, an increase of $2.8 million from the carrying value. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, has been adjusted to recognize additional cost of goods sold related to the increased inventories basis. The additional costs are not anticipated to affect the Company's consolidated statement of operations beyond twelve months after the Acquisition date.

The fair value of inventories was estimated using the comparative sales method, which relies on certain key inputs and judgments including expected sales price of the inventories, percentage completion of the work-in-process inventories,

estimated costs of completion and disposal of the inventories, and forecasted profit margins earned on the sale of the inventories. The fair value of inventories is preliminary and subject to measurement period adjustments.

(ii)

Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements consists of the following:

(in millions)	Gross Carrying Amount		Weighted-Average Useful Life
Customer relationships	$	290.0	15 Years
Technology		48.0	12 Years
Total intangible assets acquired	$	338.0

A 10% change in the valuation of identifiable intangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in amortization expense of $1.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, and $2.3 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Pro forma amortization is preliminary and based on the use of straight-line amortization. The amount of amortization following the Acquisition may differ significantly between periods based upon the final value assigned and amortization methodology used for each identifiable intangible asset.

The fair values of customer relationships were estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. The excess earnings method is an income approach methodology that estimates the projected cash flows of the business attributable to the subject intangible asset, net of charges for the use of other identifiable assets of the business, including working capital, fixed assets, and other intangible assets. The identification and valuation of the identifiable intangible assets is preliminary and subject to measurement period adjustments.

The fair values of technology were estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, which presumes that the owner of the subject intangible asset avoids hypothetical royalty payments that would need to be made for the use of the asset if the asset was not owned. The identification and valuation of identifiable intangible assets is preliminary and subject to measurement period adjustments.

(iii)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities were derived based on incremental differences in the book and tax basis created from the preliminary purchase allocation.

Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

Adjustments included in Transaction Accounting Adjustments - Acquisition column and the Transaction Accounting Adjustments – Debt Financing column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, are as follows:

(in millions)	Amount
Pro forma transaction accounting adjustment - Acquisition:
Estimated transaction costs (i)	$	(5.9)
Cash paid for outstanding equity interests in entities owning the FPM operating companies	(748.7)
Net pro forma transaction accounting adjustments to cash and cash equivalents	$	(754.6)

Pro forma transaction accounting adjustments - Debt Financing:
Cash from Debt Financing, net of debt issuance costs (ii)	$	758.0
Net pro forma transaction accounting adjustment to cash and cash equivalents	$	758.0

	(i)	These costs consist of legal advisory, financial advisory, accounting, and consulting costs of the Company incurred after June 30, 2023.
	(ii)	Represents cash from the Debt Financing, net of debt issuance costs. Refer to Note 4(f) for additional detail.

(b) Reflects the preliminary purchase accounting adjustment for inventories based on the acquisition method of accounting.

(in millions)	Amount
Pro forma transaction accounting adjustment - Acquisition:
Elimination of FPM's inventories - carrying value	$	(67.9)
Preliminary fair value of acquired inventories	70.7
Net pro forma transaction accounting adjustments to inventories	$	2.8

Represents the adjustment of acquired inventories to its preliminary estimated fair value. After the Acquisition, the step-up in inventories to fair value will increase cost of goods sold as the inventories are sold, which sale of acquired inventories, for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, is assumed to occur within the first year after the Acquisition.

(c) Reflects the preliminary purchase accounting adjustment for estimated intangible assets based on the acquisition method of accounting. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on the acquired intangible assets expected to be recognized.

(in millions)	Amount
Pro forma transaction accounting adjustment - Acquisition:
Elimination of FPM's historical net book value of intangible assets	$	(148.5)
Preliminary fair value of identifiable intangible assets	338.0
Net pro forma transaction accounting adjustments to intangible assets, net	$	189.5

(d) Preliminary goodwill adjustment of $313.6 million which represents the elimination of historical goodwill and the excess of the estimated consideration over the preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired.

(in millions)	Amount
Pro forma transaction accounting adjustment - Acquisition:
Elimination of FPM's historical goodwill	$	(175.1)
Goodwill per preliminary purchase price allocation (Note 3)	488.7
Net pro forma transaction accounting adjustments to goodwill	$	313.6

(e) Represents the adjustment to deferred tax liability of $69.0 million associated with the incremental differences in the book and tax basis created from the preliminary purchase price allocation, primarily resulting from the preliminary fair value of identifiable intangible assets. These adjustments were based on the applicable statutory tax rate with the respective estimated preliminary purchase price allocation. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-Acquisition activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income and changes in tax law. Because the tax rates used for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to completion of the Acquisition. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

(f) Reflects the indebtedness, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, incurred to fund the Acquisition. The adjustments to current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt are composed of the following items:

(in millions)	Current portion of long-term debt		Long-term debt		Total

Refer to Note 4(a) for additional information regarding transaction costs incurred.

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

Adjustments included in the Transaction Accounting Adjustments - Acquisition column and the Transaction Accounting Adjustments – Debt Financing column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, are as follows:

(a) Reflects $2.8 million of amortization of the estimated fair value step-up of inventories recognized through cost of goods sold during the first year after the Acquisition. This is a nonrecurring adjustment that does not affect the Company's consolidated statement of operations beyond 12 months after the Acquisition. Refer to Note 4(b) for more information.

(b) Reflects the adjustments to amortization expense associated with the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Acquisition. Refer to Note 3 for more information.

(in millions)	For the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023		For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2022
Pro forma transaction accounting adjustments - Acquisition:
Removal of historical FPM amortization of intangible assets	$	(11.3)	$	(14.2)
Record amortization of acquired identifiable intangible assets	17.5		23.3
Net pro forma transaction accounting adjustments to amortization expense	$	6.2	$	9.1

(c) Reflects the interest expense and amortization of issuance costs related to the Debt Financing. Refer to Note 4(f) for more information.

(in millions)	For the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023		For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2022
Pro forma transaction accounting adjustments - Debt Financing:
Recognition of additional interest expense for the Debt Financing:
Revolving Facility (i)	$	25.0	$	33.4
Term Loan (ii)	8.5		11.3
Amortization of debt issuance costs	0.4		0.5
Net pro forma transaction accounting adjustments to interest expense	$	33.9	$	45.2

This pro forma transaction accounting adjustment assumes the Debt Financing was obtained on October 1, 2021 and was outstanding the entire fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, and the entire nine months ended June 30, 2023. The interest calculation with respect to the Debt Financing is based on the following:

(i)

Interest on the U.S. dollar denominated borrowing under the Revolving Facility is calculated using the one-month secured overnight borrowing rate ("SOFR") as of September 30, 2023 plus a margin of 1.63% resulting in an all-in rate of 6.95%. Interest on the euro denominated borrowing under the Revolving Facility is calculated using a one-month euro interbank offered rate ("EURIBOR") as of September 30, 2023, plus a margin of 1.53% resulting in an all-in rate of 5.38%. The costs incurred to secure borrowings under the Revolving Facility are amortized on a straight-line basis over the five-year term of the Revolving Facility.

(ii)

Interest on the Term Loan is calculated using a rate equal to one-month EURIBOR as of September 30, 2023, plus a margin of 1.75% per annum resulting in an all-in rate of 5.61%. The debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan are amortized on a straight-line basis over its five-year term.

The following table presents a sensitivity analysis with respect to interest expense relating to the Debt Financing, illustrating the hypothetical effect of a 12.5 basis point change in the applicable interest rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022:

(in millions)	Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023		Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2022
Change in interest expense assuming:
Interest rate increase of 12.5 basis points	$	0.7	$	1.0
Interest rate decrease of 12.5 basis points	(0.7)		(1.0)

(d) To record the income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments utilizing a statutory income tax rate in effect of 25.0% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 and for the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The effective tax rate of the Company following the Acquisition could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-Acquisition activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income, and changes in tax law. Because the tax rates used for the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to completion of the Acquisition. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

(e) Reflects a one-time adjustment of $5.9 million to record known and estimated transaction costs incurred or estimated to be incurred after June 30, 2023. Transaction costs of $3.3 million and $10.3 million have otherwise been recorded within the Company's historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, and historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Transaction costs incurred or estimated to be incurred are reflected within the earliest period presented. See Note 4(a) for additional information.

(f) Reflects $6.5 million and $8.8 million in expense reduction for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, and fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, respectively, related to licensing arrangements entered into in connection with the Acquisition. The historical FPM combined statements of income are burdened, under the carve-out methodology, with corporate allocation of costs to use certain trade names. Pursuant to the licensing arrangements referenced above, the Company has the right to use the trade names for a specified period after the Acquisition for a fixed amount in certain instances. The expense reduction reflects the difference between the historical corporate allocation and the actual costs to be incurred subject to these licensing arrangements.

(g) The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share calculations are based on the historical basic and diluted weighted average shares of the Company. There were no shares issued as part of the Acquisition and therefore no change in the basic and diluted weighted average shares for the determination of pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share.

Management Adjustments

Management expects that, following completion of the Acquisition, the Company will realize certain net cost savings as compared to the historical costs of FPM. Management estimates that, had the Acquisition occurred on October 1, 2021, $7.1 million and $8.0 million of net costs for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, respectively, would not have been incurred. These expenses include one-time costs and certain synergies and dis-synergies related to corporate overhead costs.

(in millions)	For the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023		For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2022
Management adjustments:
One-time costs incurred on FPM's historical statement of income (i)	$	1.0	$	3.7
Transaction costs recorded in FPM's historical statement of income (ii)		3.7		1.7
Synergies related to corporate overhead and personnel (iii)		3.8		4.5
Dis-synergies related to income from information technology services (iv)		(1.4)		(1.9)
Net impact on pro forma condensed combined net income	$	7.1	$	8.0
Impact on pro forma basic earnings per share	$	0.10	$	0.11
Impact on pro forma diluted earnings per share	$	0.10	$	0.11

	(i)	Represents $1.0 million and $3.7 million of historical one-time costs, including loss on asset disposal, freight write-off, and out-of-period freight expense, that the Company would not continue to incur after the Acquisition for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
	(ii)	Represents $3.7 million and $1.7 million in Acquisition-related costs incurred by FPM that the Company would not incur after the Acquisition for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
	(iii)	Represents $3.8 million and $4.5 million in synergies related to estimated cost savings related to duplicative corporate overhead cost and personnel costs related to research and development, information technology, and other administrative expenses for nine months ended June 30, 2023, and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, respectively that the Company does not expect to incur after the Acquisition.
	(iv)	Represents $1.4 million and $1.9 million in dis-synergies related to historical intercompany charges from FPM to other entities of its pre-Acquisition parent company for certain information technology services for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company will not receive income from such charges after the Acquisition.
