As part of the transaction, CEO Zack Bynum, President Patrick Rogers, CFO Alex Bynum and other key members of SE&M's experienced leadership team will remain with the company. Everus acquired SE&M for $158M, subject to certain closing adjustments, funded by cash on hand. Transaction terms also allow for a potential earnout payment, not to exceed an additional 8% of the purchase price, based on certain post-acquisition performance targets. SE&M has a proven history of strong financial performance with an attractive margin profile. In 2025, SE&M generated revenue of $109M with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue in the high teens. Everus will update its financial forecast for 2026 during its first quarter earnings report.
