Ingersoll Rand Expands Key Blower Technologies, Rental Capabilities, and Services with Acquisition of Lone Star Blower, Inc.

Key Terms

pre-synergy purchase multiple financial

The pre-synergy purchase multiple is the price paid for a company expressed as a ratio (often enterprise value divided by EBITDA or revenue) measured before any expected cost savings, revenue boosts, or other benefits from combining the businesses are counted. It tells investors how expensive the target looked on a standalone basis—like the sticker price of a house before you factor in planned renovations that might raise its value—and serves as a baseline for judging the deal’s rationale and potential returns.

adjusted ebitda financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

centrifugal blowers technical

A centrifugal blower is a mechanical fan that uses a spinning impeller to draw air or gas into the center and fling it outward through a housing, converting rotational energy into airflow and pressure. Think of it as a fast-running paddle wheel that pushes air sideways rather than straight through. It matters to investors because these machines are key components in heating, cooling, industrial processing and pollution-control systems, affecting manufacturers’ sales, supply chains, maintenance costs and demand in capital-equipment markets.

multistage blowers technical

A multistage blower is a mechanical device that moves air or gas by passing it through a series of impellers or rotors arranged in stages, each stage increasing pressure or flow. Think of it like several small fans in sequence that boost air pressure more than a single fan can; this makes them useful where steady, higher-pressure airflow is needed, such as in industrial processes or HVAC systems. Investors care because these machines are capital equipment tied to industrial demand, energy use, maintenance cycles, and sales in sectors like manufacturing, utilities, and infrastructure.
