Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aebi Schmidt Holding AG and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair statement of these interim financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 4, 2025.
For a description of key accounting policies followed, refer to the footnotes to Aebi Schmidt Holding AG consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in our Form S-4.
Forward Stock Split. On July 1, 2025, the Company effected a forward stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock, par value $1.00 per share, at a ratio of 1-for-7.5 (the “2025 Forward Stock Split”). Shares of common stock were proportionately increased.
All of the Company’s historical share and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect the 2025 Forward Stock Split.
Stock-Based Compensation. Stock based compensation cost for equity-based awards is measured at fair value on the grant date, and is recognized over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. For cost for service-based awards with graded vesting, the company has elected a policy to recognize the expense straight line. The grant date fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is based upon the quoted market price of the common stock on the date of grant. Our stock-based compensation plans are described in more detail in Note 12 – Stock Based Compensation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 intends to provide investors with enhanced information about an entity’s income taxes by requiring disclosure of items such as disaggregation of the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information regarding income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. This ASU will result in additional disclosures for the Company beginning with the 2025 annual reporting and interim periods beginning in 2026.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU requires the disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, within relevant income statement captions. This ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses along with the definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can either be applied prospectively to Consolidated Financial Statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Early adoption is also permitted. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, once adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement, ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these statements on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Index
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (ASU 2025-05). The amendments in this update provide a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. Under ASU 2025-05, an entity is required to disclose whether it has elected to use the practical expedient. An entity that makes the accounting policy election is required to disclose the date through which subsequent cash collections are evaluated. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company beginning in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the adoption of ASU 2025-05 on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 clarified and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 remove all references to project stages throughout Subtopic 350-40 and clarify the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. Entities must evaluate whether there is “significant development uncertainty,” such as unresolved novel functionality or substantially revised performance requirements, before meeting this capitalization threshold. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2025-06 on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) and statements of cash flows.

NOTE 4 –GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of year-end, or whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. See “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” within “Note 1 -Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation” for a description of the accounting policies regarding goodwill and other intangible assets and to "Note 14 -Business Combination" for additional information regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Shyft Transaction.
As of September 30, 2025, the most recent annual goodwill impairment assessment date, three reporting units were identified for goodwill impairment testing: Monroe, MB Group, and Shyft. The Company qualitatively assessed goodwill assigned to the Monroe, MB Group, and Shyft reporting units and concluded there were no indicators of impairment. As discussed in “Note 1 -Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation”, there are significant judgments inherent in the impairment assessments and discounted cash flow analyses. These discounted cash flow analyses are most sensitive to the WACC assumption.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the periods ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, were as follows (in thousands):
| North America Segment | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monroe | MB Group | Shyft | Total | |

NOTE 7 –INCOME TAXES
At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to unusual or infrequent items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years or income tax contingencies is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
Our income tax (expense) benefit was $447 and $(1,549) for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The tax (expense) benefit represented a 59.8% and (26.4)% effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Income tax (expense) benefit was $550 and $(8,651) for nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The tax (expense) benefit represented a 143.2% effective tax rate and (28.9)% effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The income tax (expense) benefit for the quarter was impacted by the first time inclusion of Shyft in the calculation of the annual expected effective income tax rate of the Company. Furthermore, the revaluation of the liability for the Aebi Schmidt Historical Employee Share Plan was non-taxable for the Company and this tax benefit was fully recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2025.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (“OECD”) Pillar Two global corporate minimum tax rate of 15% has been in effect since 2024 and applies for companies with revenues of at least€750 million. The Company is subject to the Pillar Two regulations. The Company has continued to evaluate the effect of this through the third quarter of 2025 and determined that it did not have any material impacts for the current year. The Company will continue to assess the impact of the Pillar Two minimum tax regulations, including the impact from additional clarifications that are published by OECD and local tax authorities.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (“OBBBA”) into law. The OBBBA includes provisions allowing accelerated tax deductions for qualified property and research expenditures and limitations on business interest deductions. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others being implemented through 2027. The enactment of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Administrative guidance interpreting the Act will be released over coming quarters which the Company will continue to monitor.

Index
The following valuation methodologies were used to measure these assets:
(1)Equity securities (equities) - Common Stocks and mutual funds are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded and are classified as Level 1.
(2)Fixed income securities (bonds) - Debt securities include government and corporate bonds which are generally quoted in active markets or as units in mutual funds are classified as Level 1. Debt securities for which market prices are not available are valued based on yields reflecting the perceived risk of the issuer and the maturity of the security, recent disposals in the market or other modelling techniques, which may involve judgment. Units in mutual funds which are not directly quoted on a public stock exchange and/or for which a fair value is not readily determinable are measured at fair value using NAV. They are therefore classified as Level 2.
(3)Cash and cash equivalents (liquidity) - Cash and cash equivalents include money market instruments and commingled funds. Valuations are generally based on observable inputs. They are categorized as Level 1.
(4)Real estate - Real estate investments are classified as Level 2 and are measured at fair value using discounted cash flow.

The Company has been committed to fulfill certain financial covenants throughout the credit contract period and was in compliance with all covenants.
Revolving Credit Facility, due 2026
The aggregate of the Revolving Credit Facility Commitment of EUR 165,000 ($193,727) was primarily used for refinancing existing debt obligations, excluding those related to Facility A. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility
Index
supported the broader financial needs of the Company, including general corporate purposes and working capital requirements, as well as funding permissible acquisitions aligned with the Company’s strategic objectives.
On July 1, 2025, the Company repaid the outstanding amount of $185,639 with the proceeds obtained under the Revolving Facility, and the Revolving Credit Facility was terminated.
Shareholder loans
As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there were subordinated shareholder loans totaling CHF 13,563 (2025:$17,006, 2024:$14,970) and EUR 15,000 (2025:$17,612, 2024:$15,584) from PCS Holding AG, as well as CHF 10,000 (2025:$12,538, 2024:$11,038) and EUR 10,000 (2025:$11,741, 2024:$10,390) from Gebuka AG. The loans are originally granted for a fixed term, but the term will be extended if the loan agreement is not terminated 90 days prior to the end date or if an extension agreement is signed. The change in the loan balance as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, is solely due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. These shareholder loans were renewed and amended in connection with the New Credit Facilities Agreement and survived the Closing.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
The contingent liabilities include guarantees (“performance bonds”) amounting to$16,181 and$13,202 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Through the normal course of bidding for and executing certain projects, the Company has entered into bid/performance bonds and surety bonds (collectively “performance bonds”) with various financial institutions. Customers can draw on such performance bonds if the Company does not fulfil its contractual obligations. If a performance bond is drawn, the Company would have an obligation to reimburse the financial institution for amounts paid. There have been no significant amounts reimbursed to financial institutions under these types of arrangements for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

NOTE 12 –STOCK BASED COMPENSATION AND EQUITY
We assumed The Shyft Stock Incentive Plan in connection with the acquisition of Shyft. There are outstanding awards under that plan, and we may make additional awards under that plan, to certain employees and non-employee directors. In addition, shortly prior to our acquisition of Shyft we made restricted stock grants to certain of our employees and non-employee directors pursuant to the “Retention Awards” described below. Shares reserved for outstanding awards under these plans total 5,856,250. Total shares remaining for stock incentive grants under these plans totaled 1,072,456 at September 30, 2025.
Restricted Stock – Retention Awards
On June 24, 2025, the company granted 250,000 equity classified restricted stock awards (“2025 Retention Awards”) with a grant date fair value of$11.72 that cliff vest three years from the grant date. When granted, the vesting of these awards was also contingent on a performance condition related to the Transaction closing, which became probable at the Effective Time. Once probable, compensation cost for the 2025 Retention Awards is recognized over thethree-year cliff vesting period. The grant date fair value of Aebi's stock was calculated using the Shyft Group share price on June 24, 2025, adjusted by the Exchange Ratio. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded compensation expense, net of cancellations, of$306 related to 2025 Retention Awards.
As of September 30, 2025, there was $2,669 of remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2025 Retention Awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.75 years.

| Total Number of Non-vested Shares (000) | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit | |
|---|---|---|
| Non-vested as of June 30, 2025 | 250 | $11.72 |
| Granted | — | — |
| Vested | — | — |
| Forfeited | — | — |
| Non-vested as of September 30, 2025 | 250 | $11.72 |
2025 Restricted Stock Awards
At the Effective Time, each Shyft restricted stock awards (“Shyft RSA”) that was held by an employee and did not vest on or prior to the Effective Time by its terms, was assumed by Aebi Schmidt and exchanged for time-vesting Aebi Schmidt restricted stock awards (“Aebi Schmidt RSAs”) of equivalent value and subject to substantially the same terms and conditions, including vesting and settlement terms, as applied to the corresponding Shyft RSA immediately prior to the Effective Time. The number of shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock subject to such Aebi Schmidt RSAs was equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Shyft Common Stock underlying each Shyft RSA prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Pursuant to ASC 805, the acquisition date fair-value-based measured of the Shyft RSA being replaced was allocated to consideration transferred based on the ratio of pre-combination service over the greater of the total service period or the original service period. Post-combination compensation cost, which will be recognized straight line over the remaining requisite service period of the replacement awards following the Transactions, was calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair-value-based measure of the replacement Aebi Schmidt RSAs and the amount allocated to consideration transferred.
Shares awarded entitle the shareholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that the shares are subject to the risk of forfeiture and may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of during the vesting period, which isthree years.
We receive an excess tax benefit or liability during the period the restricted shares vest. The excess tax benefit (liability) is determined by the excess (shortfall) of the market price of the stock on date of vesting over (under) the acquisition date fair value used to amortize the awards to compensation expense. As required, any excess tax benefits or liabilities are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as operating cash flows.
The Aebi Schmidt RSAs, excluding the 2025 Retention Awards above, activity for the three months ended September 30, 2025, is as follows:
| Total Number of Non-vested Shares (000) | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit | |
|---|---|---|
| Non-vested as of June 30, 2025 | — | $— |
| Granted | 336 | 12.06 |
| Vested | (136) | 12.06 |
| Forfeited | (94) | 12.06 |
| Non-vested as of September 30, 2025 | 106 | $12.06 |
The weighted-average grant date fair value of non-vested shares granted was $12.06 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 we recorded compensation expense, net of cancellations, of $1,458 related to Restricted Stock Awards. The total income tax benefit related to restricted stock awards was $3. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, restricted shares vested with an aggregate fair market value of $1,538. As of September 30, 2025, we had unearned stock-based compensation of $959 associated with these restricted stock grants, which will be recognized over a weighted average of 2.7 years.
Index
Restricted Stock Units
At the Effective Time, each Shyft restricted stock unit (“Shyft RSU”) that was held by an employee and did not vest on or prior to the Effective Time by its terms, was assumed by Aebi Schmidt and exchanged for time-vesting Aebi Schmidt restricted stock units ("Aebi Schmidt RSUs") of equivalent value and subject to substantially the same terms and conditions, including vesting and settlement terms, as applied to the corresponding Shyft RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time. The number of shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock subject to such Aebi Schmidt RSUs was equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Shyft Common Stock underlying each Shyft RSU prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Pursuant to ASC 805, the acquisition date fair-value-based measured of the Shyft RSU being replaced was allocated to consideration transferred based on the ratio of pre-combination service over the greater of the total service period or the original service period. Post-combination compensation cost, which will be recognized straight line over the remaining requisite service period of the replacement awards following the Transactions, was calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair-value-based measure of the replacement Aebi Schmidt RSUs and the amount allocated to consideration transferred. Each Shyft performance stock unit (“Shyft PSU”) was similarly converted to Aebi Schmidt equity classified RSUs at the Effective Time based on the Exchange Ratio.
The cost and associated tax benefit for all outstanding Aebi Schmidt RSUs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $3,832 and $381 respectively.
The Aebi Schmidt RSU activity for the three months ended September 30, 2025, is as follows:
| Total Number of Non-vested Shares (000) | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit | |
|---|---|---|
| Non-vested as of June 30, 2025 | — | $— |
| Granted | 1,170 | 12.06 |
| Vested | (541) | 12.06 |
| Forfeited | (47) | 12.06 |
| Non-vested as of September 30, 2025 | 582 | $12.06 |
As of September 30, 2025, there was $4,650 of remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.
Aebi Schmidt Historical Employee Share Plan
Prior to the Transactions, we offered an employee share plan (“Aebi Schmidt Historical Employee Share Plan”) whereby certain employees who met certain service requirements could purchase shares of the Company. Under the Aebi Schmidt Historical Employee Share Plan, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee granted participants stock awards (2025:—, 2024:—, 2023:13,424). Awards of shares of the Company were granted and vested under the plan in exchange for consideration and the shares carried dividend and voting rights effective as of the grant date of the awards. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee had sole discretion in determining whether any shares were allocated to the Plan for purchase in any given year. In a year where the Human Resources and Compensation Committee had allocated shares for the Plan, plan participants purchased shares in the Company at a discount of 40% to the fair value. As there are no post-purchase service requirements, the Company historically recognized the compensation cost for the awards at the time the participant purchased the shares, because the discount made it compensatory in nature, in scope of ASC 718. The final purchase window for the Aebi Schmidt Historical Employee Share Plan ended on July 1, 2025, and the plan is no longer in effect.
Under the Aebi Schmidt Historical Employee Share Plan, the Company, prior to being listed on an active stock exchange, had the right to repurchase all shares held by the participant using the last fair value calculated prior to termination if a participant terminated for any reason other than death or retirement. Therefore, the Company historically recognized a liability based on the repurchase provisions of the award. Upon successful completion of the Transaction, the repurchase right terminated, accordingly the awards under the employee share plan were re-valued using the share price of $12.06 on July 1, 2025 to fair value and reclassified from liability to equity. The liability as of June 30, 2025 was $13,734, representing 757,140 shares following the forward stock split (refer to Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of
Index
Presentation for further information regarding the forward stock split). The revaluation of the liability, immediately prior to reclassification to equity, resulted in a reduction in compensation cost of $6,377 recognized in selling, general and administrative in our Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations.
NOTE 13 –EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Potential shares of common stock are calculated using the treasury-stock method and consist of incremental shares issuable upon the vesting of the 2025 Retention Awards, Aebi Schmidt RSAs and the Aebi Schmidt RSUs. The computation of both earnings per share is as follows:

NOTE 14 –BUSINESS COMBINATION
On July 1, 2025 (“Acquisition Date”), the Company closed on the acquisition of all outstanding stock of Shyft, a niche market leader in specialty vehicle manufacturing and assembly for the commercial and recreational vehicle industries, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. For further information regarding the Merger please refer to Note 1- Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation.
The Company acquired 100% of Shyft’s voting equity interests, with the primary motivation being to enhance the Company’s product offerings in specialty vehicle solutions, expand market share in North America, and leverage Shyft’s innovative design and manufacturing capabilities. Shyft will expand the Company’s ability to provide customized vehicle solutions, including walk-in vans, truck bodies, and luxury Class A diesel motorhome custom chassis to a diverse clientele, including commercial users, original equipment manufacturers, dealers, and governmental entities, thereby providing a diversified portfolio that mitigates risk across various market cycles. Shyft was headquartered in Novi, Michigan, and is integrated into the North America Segment. Shyft’s annual sales in 2024 were$786,176.
The total consideration transferred was approximately$443,103. The Company will record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the Acquisition Date. The Shyft acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with the purchase price allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Identifiable intangible assets include Brand, Technology, Customer relationships and Order backlog. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 805-30-50-1(a), the goodwill recognized in this acquisition is attributed to several qualitative factors, including expected synergies from the integration
Index
of the operations of the acquiree and the acquirer, intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, and other relevant factors. All of the goodwill has been provisionally assigned to the Shyft reporting unit, which has been recognized as part of the acquisition, and is included in the North America reportable segment. Goodwill totaled$193,960 and is not deductible for tax purposes.
In accordance with ASC 805, the allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of Shyft is preliminary and subject to adjustment during the measurement period, which may extend up to one year from the Acquisition Date. The initial allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions, and as such, the values assigned to certain working capital balances, identifiable intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, taxes, and contingent liabilities may be adjusted as additional information becomes available. These adjustments could result in changes to the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements, including potential adjustments to the goodwill recognized. The Company will continue to refine its estimates and assumptions as it obtains more information, and any adjustments identified during the measurement period will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined.
The Company (i) issued and delivered to Shyft shareholders an aggregate of 36,350,634 shares of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock at$12.06 per share, (ii) paid to Shyft fractional shareholders an aggregate amount in cash equal to$2 (the “Cash Consideration”) and (iii) replaced Shyft equity awards amounting to$4,866 that are allocated to consideration transferred as they relate to the pre-acquisition period. The$443,103 of common stock was entirely comprised of Aebi Schmidt Common Stock, par value$1.00.
The purchase price was comprised of the following:
| Purchase price: | |
|---|---|
| Aebi shares issued to Shyft shareholders on July 01, 2025 (1) | 36,350,634 |
| Shyft stock price on June 30, 2025 (2) | $12.54 |
| Exchange ratio | 1.04 |
| Share consideration (36,350,634 number of shares issued at the Fair Value of $12.06 per share) | $438,235 |
| Add: Cash paid for fractional shares | 2 |
| Add: Fair value of Shyft Equity awards allocated to pre-acquisition period (3) | 4,866 |
| Total purchase price | $443,103 |
(1)Includes vested Shyft Director RSU awards.
(2)The fair value of the share consideration and the replacement awards issued to Shyft employees was determined using Shyft’s stock price, as it was considered more reliably measurable than the stock price of Aebi Schmidt. The measurement was based on Shyft’s stock price as of June 30, 2025, the last trading day prior to delisting, which occurred on the Closing Date of July 1, 2025.
(3)Represents the estimated fair value of Shyft RSAs, Shyft RSUs (other than Shyft Director RSUs), and Shyft PSUs attributable to pre-combination services. $501 of Shyft RSAs, $1,585 of Shyft RSUs, and $2,780 of Shyft PSUs are attributed to pre-combination service.
The total number of Aebi Schmidt shares issued as consideration, after adjusting for unvested RSAs, vested Director RSUs, and excluding fractional shares settled in cash, was 36,696,981 shares. This total comprises 36,350,634 shares issued to Shyft shareholders, of which 105,874 relating to Aebi Schmidt RSA exchanged for Shyft RSA that have not fully vested, and 346,347 shares that accelerated vesting upon a termination and change in control (double trigger provision). For further information regarding stock based compensation please refer to "Note 12 - Stock Based Compensation and Equity".
Acquisition costs in connection with the Merger incurred by the Company include acquisition-related legal and other professional fees in the total amount of$18,987 as of the Acquisition Date, which are recognized as$4,404 in the income statement for the year ended December 31, 2024 and$14,583 and$3,875 in the income statement for thenine and three months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. All amounts were recorded within other income (expense) for the respective periods.

The Company measured these contingencies at fair value and the liabilities reflect management's best estimate of future payments related to these arrangements, which depends on final negotiated terms following the acquisition. The valuation incorporates probability-weighted scenarios based on expected outcomes. The Company continues to monitor these arrangements and will adjust the fair value as necessary in future reporting periods.
Intangible assets totaling$181,104 have provisionally been assigned to Brand, Technology, Customer relationships and Order backlog as a result of the acquisition and consist of the following (in thousands):
| Amount | Useful life (in years) | Weighted average amortization period (in years) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand | $60,803 | 5 - 20 | 18 |
| Technology | 26,079 | 10 | 10 |
| Customer relationships | 89,413 | 15 | 15 |
| Order backlog | 4,809 | 1 | 1 |
| $181,104 | 15 |
Index
The Company amortizes the Brand, Technology, Customer relationships and Order backlog utilizing a straight-line approach.
Shyft had revenue of$186,433 and generated operating income of$(6,136) for the period from the acquisition date through September 30, 2025, which is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company has applied the practical expedient in ASC 805-20-30-29 for contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in the business combination. Acquired contract assets and liabilities in the scope of ASC 606 are an exception to the ASC 805 fair value measurement principle and were measured as if Aebi Schmidt had originated the acquired contract. For each contract Aebi Schmidt reassessed the identification of performance obligations, determination of transaction price, allocation of transaction price, and measure of progress for each performance obligation as if Aebi Schmidt has been party to the original contract and recognized the resulting contract asset or liability as an asset acquired or a liability assumed. The application of this expedient aligns with the acquiree’s historical accounting and is not expected to materially affect the consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of these items in subsequent periods as part of its ongoing revenue recognition processes.
Supplemental Pro Forma (unaudited)
The following table summarizes the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, as if the acquisition was completed on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma information was prepared in accordance with the requirements of ASC 805. Pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect the impact of incremental non-recurring acquisition-related adjustments, including transaction costs of$14,583, cash retention awards of$1,778, share-based compensation of$3,006, employee severance of$15,140 and adjustment related to fair value step-up to inventory of$934. The adjustments also include the interest expense related to the debt modification, amortization of acquired intangible assets and lease remeasurement, depreciation of the fair-valued tangible assets, and the related tax effects of these adjustments.
| (In thousands amounts) | Three Months EndedSeptember 30, | Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Revenue | $471,325 | $455,396 | $1,376,945 | $1,370,936 |
| Net income | $14,485 | $5,634 | $9,124 | $(11,894) |
The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is presented for illustration purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transaction been completed on January 1, 2024, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined entity. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, is a result of combining the consolidated income statement of the Company with the results of the assets acquired from Shyft. The pro forma results do not include any cost savings and synergies anticipated as a result of the transaction. We believe the estimates and assumptions are reasonable, and the relative effects of the transaction are properly reflected.
NOTE 15 –SEGMENTS
The Company identifies their operating and reportable segments based on the management structure and the financial data utilized by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which was determined to be the Board of Directors, to assess segment performance and allocate resources among the operating units.
The Company’s segment reporting policy identifiestwo operating segments, North America and Europe, including Rest of the World, (“ROW”), as reportable segments. Financial results for each segment are presented separately to provide transparency and insight into the performance and resources of each geographic area, consistent with how the CODM reviews and assesses the Company’s operations.
The CODM evaluates the performance of their reportable segments based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, further adjusted for foreign exchange gains and losses on external debt, restructuring and other related expenses, transaction related expenses, bargain purchase gains on acquisitions, changes in repurchase liabilities for Aebi
Index
Schmidt’s employee share plan, non-service cost related pension expenses, legacy legal matters, sales executive transition costs, changes in provisions for contingencies, and other non-recurring items.
Interest expense and taxes on income are not included in the information utilized by the CODM to assess segment performance and allocate resources, and accordingly, are excluded from the segment results presented below.
The Company’s Board of Directors assesses the Segment Adjusted EBITDA to compare to historical trends and the forecast to assess segment results, allocate capital, make strategic decisions and identify areas of opportunity.
