- Announces Closing of Dyna Ten Corporation Acquisition -
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2014--
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 Dyna Ten Corporation (“Dyna
Ten”) headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.
Dyna Ten is a regional mechanical contractor based in Fort Worth, Texas.
Dyna Ten engages in a broad range of mechanical contracting projects,
HVAC service and controls, in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and in
surrounding areas.
Brian Lane, Comfort Systems USA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented,
“We are extremely happy to announce the closing of the Dyna Ten
acquisition, extending our family of companies to the Dallas/Fort Worth
metroplex. We believe that Dyna Ten is the premier mechanical contractor
in north Texas, providing extraordinary outcomes for its customers in
the medical, industrial and commercial markets. Dyna Ten brings an
established reputation for innovation and excellence, and we believe
that they will greatly improve our customer offering throughout Texas.”
Mark Nyquist, the Chief Executive Officer of Dyna Ten Corporation,
commented, “We are happy to bring the additional resources and
opportunities that Comfort Systems USA represents to our customers and
our employees, and we are confident and committed to contributing to the
Comfort Systems USA team. Comfort Systems USA is the ideal partner for
our organization because it shares our core beliefs, including customer
value, innovation and employee growth and opportunity.”
Dyna Ten has annualized revenues of approximately $70 million to $80
million at profitability levels that are generally equal to or above
those currently experienced by 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.
Comfort Systems USA® is a premier provider of business
solutions addressing workplace comfort, with 89 locations in 81 cities
around the nation. For more information, visit the Company’s website at
