Broadwind Completes MCM Acquisition for $18 Million Base Price, Plus Up to $7 Million Earnout

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

On October 30, 2026, Broadwind completed its acquisition of 100% of MCM Acquisition Company, an Alabama precision metal component manufacturer, paying about $21.5 million in cash at closing, including $3.5 million placed in escrow. The deal was financed with cash on hand and advances under Broadwind's credit facility, which was amended to increase the term loan, extend maturity to January 1, 2028, and raise the term loan margin to 2.75% from 2.50%. Pro forma net debt to trailing adjusted EBITDA is about 3.7x, and shareholders will weigh the added debt against the company's expectation that the deal is accretive.

Key points

  • Base purchase price of $18.0 million plus up to $7.0 million in contingent consideration tied to post-closing performance targets; about $21.5 million paid in cash at closing
  • MCM generated trailing twelve-month revenue of about $16.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of about $3.7 million through June 30, 2026, according to the press release
  • Credit agreement amended October 30, 2026: term loan increased by about $1.8 million, maturity extended to January 1, 2028, and term loan SOFR margin raised to 2.75% from 2.50%
  • Pro forma net debt to trailing adjusted EBITDA about 3.7x as of June 30, 2026; company plans to reduce it to 2.0x or less by year-end 2028
