Enpro – an industrial technology company – recently announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Advanced Micro Instruments, Inc. (AMI), a leading provider of highly engineered, application-specific analyzers and sensing technologies that monitor critical parameters to maintain infrastructure integrity, enable process efficiency, enhance safety, and facilitate the clean energy transition. Under the terms of the deal, Enpro will acquire AMI for $210 million in cash, representing a valuation of about 13x normalized 2023 EBITDA.
Based in Costa Mesa, California, AMI serves customers in the midstream natural gas, biogas, industrial processing, cryogenics, food processing, laboratory, wastewater, and aerospace markets. And the company offers a portfolio of oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, and moisture analyzers and proprietary sensing capabilities that detect contaminants in various processes, including natural gas and biogas streams, which enable operators to avoid flaring and, thereby, reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Upon closing the deal, AMI will be included in the Sealing Technologies segment, adding to the segment’s portfolio of products and solutions that safeguard critical environments. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to segment revenue growth and profitability, in addition to Enpro’s adjusted diluted earnings per share.
The deal is expected to close in early 2024, subject to limited closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
