Limbach Holdings Acquires Consolidated Mechanical
Limbach Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: LMB) (“Limbach” or the “Company”), a building systems solutions firm that partners with building owners and facilities managers who have mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure, today announced that it has acquired Consolidated Mechanical, Inc. (“CMI”).
Founded in 1984 in Owensboro, Kentucky, CMI serves the heavy industrial, power, and commercial markets. CMI is a premier provider of mechanical, millwright, steel fabrication, plumbing construction, maintenance, and outage services to owners of complex process systems in the industrial sector. The acquisition of CMI was internally sourced by Limbach, as the Company continues to pursue value enhancing opportunities that meet its strict criteria. Limbach paid an initial purchase price of $23 million, and CMI is expected to contribute annualized revenue of approximately $23 million beginning in 2025, and EBITDA of $4 million per annum.
Transaction Highlights
- The acquisition extends Limbach’s reach into the industrial sector, with new exposure to the power generation, food processing, manufacturing, and metals markets in Kentucky, Illinois, and
Michigan.
- CMI's satellite presence in Western Michigan complements Limbach’s existing operations in the Southeast corner of the state, positioning the company to better serve a lucrative institutional
market across Michigan.
- CMI generates revenue primarily through Owner Direct Relationships, with a robust mix of time and materials and cost-reimbursable revenue streams focused on repair, maintenance, and retrofit
activities.
- Total consideration paid by Limbach at closing was $23 million, subject to typical working capital adjustments. The acquisition was funded from available cash and has performance-based, contingent earn-outs totaling up to $2 million, which would potentially be payable over the next two years.
Management Commentary
“We are excited to welcome the CMI team to the Limbach family,” said Michael McCann, President and Chief Executive Officer of Limbach Holdings. "This acquisition enhances our regional footprint and increases our ability to provide solutions and services to our national customers. Additionally, CMI extends our reach into industrial mechanical services, including power generation, food processing, manufacturing, and metals end-markets, and by significantly broadening our service offerings. We anticipate the acquisition will have a negligible impact on our revenue and earnings in 2024. Our focus will be on 2025, integrating operations, and unlocking synergies.
