IES Holdings completes $691 million acquisition of structural steel firm DBM Global
IES Holdings closed its acquisition of DBM Global, a structural steel fabrication and construction services company, for total consideration of approximately $691 million in cash and stock. The company also amended its credit agreement to increase borrowing capacity to $700 million, and it funded the cash portion partly with $525 million of borrowings. The filing does not give DBM Global's earnings, so shareholders cannot yet assess the deal's effect on profit.
Key points
- Total consideration of approximately $691 million: about $545 million in cash and 430,974 shares valued at about $146 million
- Credit facility increased to $700 million, including a $200 million term loan and $500 million revolving credit facility
- DBM Global generated revenue of approximately $1.5 billion for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, and has about 4,000 employees
- Financial statements and pro forma information for the acquisition will be filed by amendment later
