AWM’s products organize, secure, and protect electrical wiring to improve system reliability, safety, installation efficiency, and long-term performance.

With nearly $60 million trailing twelve months revenue, AWM has built a track record of profitable growth, based on a capital-light operating model and a culture of innovation. The acquisition of AWM is expected to be high single digit accretive to ARRAY’s Adjusted EPS in year one before synergies.

Hostetler, Chief Executive Officer of ARRAY. “AWM brings a proven, innovative product line and a strong reputation for quality and customer service. Together, we will be able to offer a more complete, integrated solution to our customers across the solar, battery storage, and datacenter markets." "Becoming part of ARRAY is a tremendous opportunity for our team and our customers," said Scott Rand, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of AWM. "ARRAY’s scale, customer relationships, and global reach will make this the ideal home for our team and our products. We share a culture of innovation and a relentless focus on the customer, and that alignment will unlock real value for customers across solar, storage, and beyond.” “Differentiating through engineering has always been at the core of how we design our products,” said Dan Smith, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of AWM. “By bringing our wire management and balance-of-system products together with ARRAY’s tracking, fixed-tilt, and foundation platform, we can deliver various integrated solutions engineered to work together – simplifying design, improving installation, and reducing costs for our customers." Following the closing of the acquisition, AWM’s financial results will be included in the ARRAY Legacy segment. AWM's senior management team is expected to remain with the business following the closing.

The total consideration consists of a base purchase price of AWM of $153 million and total additional consideration of up to $50 million. The final amount of upfront cash consideration will be determined at closing subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The additional consideration of up to $50 million is comprised of $10 million payable in two equal installments on the first and second anniversary of the closing, each conditioned on the continued employment of the sellers and a performance based earnout of up to $40 million payable in three installments of up to $8 million based on 2026 performance and up to $16 million for each 2027 and 2028 performance years based on AWM’s achievement of certain EBITDA targets during the applicable period.
