Valuation partner for acquisitive platform investment

A top 25 private equity firm formed a new investment platform through the acquisition of our client. The client is a leading fluid power-distribution company, which subsequently nearly tripled its enterprise value within three years through streamlined operations and the completion of eight strategic acquisitions, ranging in size from $2 million to over $400 million. Stout performed the acquisition accounting for the material transaction. Additionally, Stout has assisted with goodwill impairment testing, which includes valuation of the company’s four reporting units. Stout has also provided the board of directors with semi-annual valuations to administer its stock incentive plan and maintain compliance with IRC 409A and ASC Topic 718.
