FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COMFORT SYSTEMS USA ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION
- Announces Closing of BCH Holdings Acquisition -
Houston, TX - April 3, 2017 - Comfort Systems USA, Inc. (NYSE: FIX),
a leading provider of commercial, industrial and institutional heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") services, today announced that it has closed its previously announced transaction to acquire the BCH Holdings, Inc. family of companies ("BCH Mechanical") headquartered in Tampa, Florida.
BCH Mechanical®
is a regional mechanical contractor based in Tampa, Florida. BCH Mechanical engages in a broad range of mechanical contracting projects and services in central Florida, and conducts service operations in 10 states throughout the southeast.
Brian Lane, Comfort Systems USA's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are extremely happy to announce the closing of the BCH Mechanical acquisition, extending our family of companies in the central Florida area. We believe that BCH Mechanical is a premier mechanical contractor, providing extraordinary outcomes for its customers in industrial, medical and commercial markets. BCH Mechanical brings an established reputation for innovation and excellence, and we believe that they will greatly improve our customer offering throughout Florida and the southeast".
Daryl Blume, BCH Mechanical principal owner and President, commented, "We believe that Comfort Systems USA shares our core beliefs, including customer value, innovation and employee growth and opportunity. We look forward to a strong partnership for our collective future".
As previously disclosed, initially BCH Mechanical is expected to contribute annualized revenues of approximately $100 million to $110 million at profitability levels that are generally equal to or above those currently experienced by existing Comfort Systems USA operations. In light of the required amortization expense related to intangibles and other costs associated with the transaction, the acquisition is expected to make a neutral to slightly accretive contribution to earnings per share during the first 12 to 18 months after the acquisition.
