EVI Industries, Inc. to Acquire PAC Industries, Inc.

EVI Industries, Inc. (NYSE American:EVI) announced today that it entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of PAC Industries, Inc. (“PAC”) for $12.85 million, of which $6.4 million will be paid in cash, $6.25 million in EVI common stock, and $0.2 million in an assumed subordinated note. Based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, PAC is a prominent distributor of commercial, industrial, and vended laundry products and a provider of related installation and maintenance services to the new and replacement markets of the laundry industry. For the twelve-months ended December 31, 2018, PAC generated approximately $22.0 million in revenue from the sale of equipment, parts, supplies, and related installation and maintenance services.

As a member of the EVI family, PAC will gain immediate access to the resources necessary to pursue its planned growth opportunities. Additionally, consistent with EVI’s operating philosophy, PAC will operate as a subsidiary of EVI from its present locations, under its existing leadership, and conduct business as it has historically. Frank Costabile, President of PAC, commented, “On behalf of all of the employees and owners of PAC, we are thrilled to join the EVI family and are anxious to begin working towards accomplishing our collective long-term goals.”

Since January 1, 2018, EVI has completed seven acquisitions in the commercial laundry industry. The acquisition of PAC will be EVI’s first in the northeast region, where EVI expects to aggressively continue executing its buy and build growth strategy. Given EVI’s entrepreneurial culture, focus on long-term growth, and autonomous operating model, it continues to represent the industry’s most compelling opportunity for owners of longstanding, high-quality businesses in and around the commercial laundry industry.

Henry M. Nahmad, EVI’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We welcome all of the valued employees and owners of PAC Industries to the EVI family. Our goal remains to be the best performing partner to each of our valued suppliers, to offer a comprehensive suite of products and world-class services to our customers, and to maintain an entrepreneurial culture that attracts the most talented entrepreneurs and professionals.”

The transaction is expected to close upon the satisfaction of all customary closing conditions. EVI expects the addition of PAC to be accretive to its fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.
