Financial Impact
Deal value of $675M, representing ~7.1% of Acuity's $9.5B market cap. Parameter's projected ~$100M revenue and ~40% EBITDA margins (~$40M EBITDA) would add ~0.4% to Acuity's revenue base (assuming ~$4B revenue) and ~$40M EBITDA. Accretive to adjusted EPS.
Risk Factors

- Antitrust review: HSR waiting period expiration is a condition; any delay could push closing beyond Q2 FY2027.
