NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PMGC Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ELAB) (the "Company", "PMGC" or "we"), a diversified public holding company, today announced that it has terminated the previously announced non-binding letter of intent, dated June 9, 2025, to acquire a profitable U.S.-based electronics manufacturing company.

Following a strategic review and direction from its Board of Directors, PMGC has elected to narrow its merger and acquisition (M&A) focus toward CNC machine shops servicing the aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors. The Company believes this decision better aligns with its long-term growth strategy and capital allocation objectives, allowing it to build a highly specialized portfolio that benefits from sector-specific demand, scale efficiencies, and margin expansion.

Industry Outlook

The U.S. machine shop services market was estimated at approximately USD 44.7 billion in 2024, generated by around 17,100 companies employing over 259,000 people. Nearly one-third of this industry is concentrated in California, Texas, Ohio, and Michigan¹. Over the next decade, the global machining market is projected to expand from USD 402.6 billion in 2024 to USD 755.7 billion by 2034, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%² . Within the U.S., the machine tools segment—largely encompassing CNC metal-cutting—was valued at about USD 12.7 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow at a 3.4% CAGR from 2025 through 2030³.

Demand from aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors is particularly strong—new U.S. metalworking machinery orders surged 32.6% from February to March 2025, reaching USD 515.8 million, marking the highest monthly value since early 2023. Aerospace machine shops posted record-setting order volumes and capital investments amid reshoring momentum and robust defense procurement trends⁴.

This structural growth reflects broader industrial tailwinds—including regulations and incentives such as the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022 (CHIPS Act) and Inflation Reduction Acts—positioning precision CNC machine shops as a high-growth, resilient segment critical to reshoring, national security, and global supply chain modernization.

Pending CNC Manufacturing Acquisition:

On June 24th, 2025 PMGC announced a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire a profitable, AS9100 and ISO 9001-certified CNC precision machining company based in the United States. The target specializes in high-complexity aerospace and defense components, with a long-standing track record serving Tier-1 commercial and government clients.

The target generated approximately $4.5 million in revenue and $500,000 in adjusted EBITDA in 2024. The transaction is currently pending and subject to due diligence and customary closing conditions.
