The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to Novanta’s Adjusted Diluted EPS in 2026, and in 2027 accretive to revenue growth, adjusted margins, earnings and operating cash flow.

The loans amortize quarterly starting with the fiscal quarter ending September 25, 2026, initially at 0.625% of outstanding U.S. dollar term loans, increasing to at least 1.25% from late June 2027. Novanta will also pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts, and its incremental term loan and revolver capacity are reset from the amendment date.
