Halma plc ('Halma' or the 'Group')

Acquisition

Halma, the global group of life-saving technology companies focused on growing
a safer, cleaner and healthier future for everyone every day, today announces
that it has acquired International Light Technologies, Inc. (ILT) for its
Environmental & Analysis sector business, Ocean Insight.

ILT, based in Peabody, Massachusetts, USA, is a leading developer of technical
lighting sources and light measurement systems, which are used in biomedical,
environmental, agricultural, food and beverage, and industrial applications.
The consideration for ILT is US$26.6m (approximately £19.5m) on a cash and
debt free basis, which is payable in cash and funded from Halma's existing
facilities. For continuing operations, ILT's unaudited revenue for the 12
months to 31 October 2021 was US$9.9m (approximately £7.3m), and earnings
before interest and tax was US$2.7m (£2m).

Andrew Williams, Group Chief Executive of Halma, commented:

"ILT's focus on the generation and measurement of light is highly aligned with
Ocean Insight's mission to use the measurement of light to expand scientific
discovery, reduce waste and improve the quality of life. ILT's products and
services will bring complementary capabilities and technologies to Ocean
Insight, allowing it to serve a greater range of customer needs."
