Acquisitions and Divestitures [Abstract] |
Acquisitions and Divestitures [Text Block] | 14. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS Acquisition of Manufacturing Facility in Emporium, Pennsylvania In May 2021, AAM completed our acquisition of a manufacturing facility in Emporium, Pennsylvania, under which we acquired $14.9 million of net assets that consisted of $5.9 million of inventory and $9.0 million of property, plant and equipment. The purchase price was $14.9 million, which consisted of $4.9 million of cash and $10.0 million of a deferred consideration liability that will be paid to seller at $2.5 million annually over the period 2022 through 2025. As the value of the net assets acquired was equal to the purchase price, no goodwill or gain on bargain purchase was recognized for this acquisition for the period ended June 30, 2021. The operating results of this manufacturing facility for the period from our acquisition date through June 30, 2021 were insignificant to AAM's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for this period. Further we have not disclosed pro forma revenue and earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 as the operating results of this manufacturing facility would be insignificant to AAM's consolidated results for these periods. Sale of Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture In the six months ended June 30, 2021, we completed the sale of our ownership interest in a consolidated joint venture and received cash proceeds of approximately $2.6 million. As a result of the sale and deconsolidation of this joint venture, we recognized a loss of $2.7 million. Subsequent to the sale of this joint venture, we no longer present noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated financial statements as all consolidated entities are wholly-owned.
