Acquisitions On August 1, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Gravotech. Headquartered in Lyon, France, Gravotech is a leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of innovative solutions for specialized engraving, marking and cutting, offering laser, mechanical engraving, scribing and dot peen capabilities across multiple industries. The acquisition of Gravotech expands the Companys identification product offerings and research and development capabilities to include specialized direct part marking and engraving expertise. The acquisition was funded through cash on hand and borrowings under the Companys existing credit agreement. Net sales and net loss attributable to Gravotech from the acquisition date through July 31, 2025 were $113,919 and $15,375, respectively. The net loss attributable to Gravotech is due to a non-recurring increase in cost of goods sold related to the fair value adjustment to inventory upon acquisition and amortization expense for intangible assets. The purchase price allocation was finalized in the fourth quarter of the year ended July 31, 2025. Measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statement of income. The purchase price allocation included goodwill of $66,178 of which $46,951 was assigned to the Americas & Asia segment and $19,227 was assigned to the Europe & Australia segment. The goodwill for this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. The followin

Revenue recognition · 7,076 characters as filed

Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when control of the product or service transfers to the customer at an amount that represents the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products and services. Nature of Products The Companys revenues are primarily from the sale of identification solutions and workplace safety products that are shipped and billed to customers. All revenue is from contracts with customers and is included in Net sales on the consolidated statements of income. Performance Obligations The Companys contracts with customers consist of purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master supply or distributor agreements. For each contract, the Company considers the commitment to transfer tangible products, which are generally capable of being distinct, to be separate performance obligations. The majority of the Company's revenue is earned and recognized at a point in time through ship-and-bill performance obligations where the customer typically obtains control of the product upon shipment or delivery, depending on freight terms. The Company considers control to have transferred if legal title, physical possession, and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have transferred to the customer and the Company has a present right to payment. In almost all cases, control transfers once a product is shipped or delivered, as this is when the customer is able to direct and obtain substantially all of the remai
