Management to Host Call at 4:30 PM ET

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:SPXC) ("the Company", "we", or, "our") announced that it has completed the acquisition of ASPEQ Heating Group ("ASPEQ") including certain tax attributes for $418 million in cash, subject to closing adjustments. ASPEQ, a leading provider of electrical heating solutions to customers in industrial and commercial markets, is now a part of SPX Technologies' HVAC Heating platform.

To reflect this transaction the Company has increased its 2023 full-year guidance for adjusted earnings per share* of $3.90 to $4.05 from a prior range of $3.80 to $3.95. The increase in guidance reflects a partial year of ownership of ASPEQ and the impact of financing costs associated with the transaction. At the midpoint, updated adjusted EPS* guidance represents a year-on-year increase of approximately 28%. Management expects ASPEQ to have annual revenue of approximately $120 million, and higher-than-company-average sales growth and margins.

"We are excited to welcome the ASPEQ team to the SPX Technologies family," said Gene Lowe, President and CEO of SPX Technologies. "This transaction more than doubles SPX Technologies' position in electrical heating and expands our value-creation opportunities in highly complementary and attractive industrial and commercial end markets. We see significant long-term growth potential for our combined businesses, as well as nearer-term benefits from favorable secular trends such as electrification, decarbonization, and reshoring."

Dave Smith, ASPEQ's President and CEO, said, "We are delighted to be joining SPX Technologies' electrical heating team. Bringing together SPX Technologies' marketing and channel infrastructure and business system with ASPEQ's technology, and strong product development and application expertise creates numerous opportunities for employees, customers, and shareholders. I personally look forward to working with the SPX Technologies team to build an even stronger, more valuable platform."

Non-GAAP Financial Information: This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including total segment income margin, adjusted operating income margin and adjusted income from continuing operations, adjusted earnings per share, each as anticipated for the full year 2023. These forward-looking non-GAAP measures are presented on a basis consistent with the similarly titled historical non-GAAP measures included in the Company's earnings press release issued on May 4, 2023, which included reconciliations of each of such historical non-GAAP measures to the comparable financial measures as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial guidance included in this press release excludes items, which would be included in the Company's GAAP financial measures, that the Company does not consider indicative of its on-going performance. These items include, but are not limited to, acquisition costs, costs associated with dispositions, and potential non-cash income or expense items associated with changes in market interest rates and actuarial or other data related to the Company's pension and postretirement plans, as the ultimate aggregate amounts associated with these items are out of its control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted.
