  • Arcadia — IOI walkthrough with Okafor and Ferris10d ago

    Okafor walked the letter: $27.5M EV, $22M cash at close, $5.5M earnout on FY27 ARR ≥ $8.5M measured on Arcadia's definition, $1.5M escrow for 18 months. Board meets in five weeks; they want an LOI signed before it. Ferris confirmed the earnout is 'negotiable in hurdle, not in structure'.

  • Arcadia acquires Northgate Inspection Technologies for $38M1mo ago

    Confirms appetite, price tolerance in our range, and a preference for cash deals. Northgate's condition-capture model is complementary to seller qualification, not competitive.

  • Arcadia — management presentation (Buffalo)2mo ago

    Three hours, ran over. Raman presented her integration memo to her own executives in the room — that was the moment. Ferris pushed on ARR definition and concentration; the 41%→27% concentration trend landed well. Okafor said they would be 'submitting something' inside a month.
