The company described its finances as follows:

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, we generated 86% of our revenues in North America with a strong and growing international presence and we currently employ approximately 4,000 individuals across eight countries. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, we generated revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 billion, $13.0 million and $160.1 million, respectively. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, we generated pro forma revenue, pro forma net income and Adjusted EBITDA (pro forma as adjusted for contributions from insignificant completed acquisitions) of $1.2 billion, $16.8 million and $182.4 million, respectively.

Evoqua intends to use the net proceeds in this offering to repay approximately $100.5 million of indebtedness (including accrued and unpaid interest) under the term-loan facility, and any remainder for general corporate purposes. The company will not receive any proceeds from shares being offered by the selling shareholders.
