Standex Broadens Penetration of Aviation Market with Agreement to Acquire Enginetics

Standex International Corporation (NYSE:SXI) announced today that it has entered into an exclusive agreement to acquire Ohio-based Enginetics Corporation, a leading producer of aircraft engine components for all major aircraft platforms. The completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is anticipated to close on or before September 11, 2014. Enginetics had revenue of approximately $30 million in the trailing 12 months. This acquisition is expected to be accretive to earnings in the range of $0.03 to $0.05 excluding the impact of purchase accounting related to inventory and long term backlog in the remainder of Fiscal 2015 and $0.07 to $0.09 in the full year Fiscal 2016 excluding the impact of long term backlog.1

“This acquisition supports our corporate strategy to position our businesses for faster growth,” said Standex CEO David Dunbar. “Enginetics will further solidify Standex’s expansion into the steadily growing aviation market for high-efficiency engines. Enginetics’ hydroforming, press forming and stretch forming processes generate products that are highly complementary to our current offerings, and will enable deeper market penetration in aviation for our Engineering Technologies Group.1”

“This acquisition is an important step for the Engineering Technologies Group, as it will increase our breadth of opportunity in the aviation market,” said Len Paolillo, President, Engineering Technologies Group. “We will be able to expand the suite of products we offer existing customers by producing more internal engine components using Enginetics’ metal forming and other value added core technologies. We also expect to be able to expand strategic relationships for new business and sell Enginetics’ product solutions into non-aviation markets currently served by Standex.1 In addition, Enginetics’ steady revenue stream in long running aircraft programs is expected to help smooth some of the higher variability project based business of Engineering Technologies Group’s other markets.1”
