(Sebesta), a St. Paul, Minnesota-based mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) engineering and energy management company with annualized revenues of $35 million. Primary clients include federal and state governments, power and utility companies, and major educational, healthcare, industrial and commercial property owners throughout the United States. Sebesta's staff numbers 175 and operates from 12 offices in the Midwest, Texas, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The acquisition was made entirely in cash from internal sources without using debt and will be immediately accretive to NV5's earnings.

"With the acquisition of Sebesta, we are creating value for our shareholders and diversifying our company: we are establishing a very scalable platform for growth for our energy service vertical, we are bringing NV5 into new geographical areas, and we are introducing NV5 to Sebesta's blue chip clients. We are especially pleased that we will be doing business with an impressive federal client base to which the barriers to entry are very high and where we know there will be significant opportunities for synergy and cross-selling among our other service verticals," said Dickerson Wright, P.E., Chairman and CEO of NV5. "NV5 already has the capabilities to do much of the work Sebesta's professionals were previously subcontracting to other infrastructure, program management, and architecture firms, and so in this way, we know we will be able to expand the exceptionally high-quality services Sebesta's experts have been providing to their clients for the last twenty years."

Rob Costello, President and CEO of Sebesta commented, "We feel Sebesta is poised for growth, and that is the primary reason why we are joining forces with NV5. We bring seasoned management and staff along with an impeccable reputation for serving our clients. We look forward to NV5's support and collaboration in order to realize the potential upside the combination of our two companies represents. We see tremendous opportunities for cross-marketing with NV5's other business lines. And, as we introduce our services to the NV5 offices in the West and Southeast, this will greatly enhance NV5's overall market presence in energy-related technical services."
