The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to the parties obtaining regulatory clearance and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The acquisition is expected to generate double-digit returns and is anticipated to be immediately accretive to Ecolab's sales growth. During the first year post-acquisition, Ecolab expects the acquisition will be neutral to adjusted earnings per share, excluding approximately $45 million of non-cash amortization costs.

Following the acquisition, Ecolab's net debt to adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately 2x, consistent with the company's long-term leverage target.
