Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization As a leading global tier 1 automotive and mobility supplier, AAM designs, engineers and manufactures Driveline and Metal Forming technologies to support electric, hybrid, and internal combustion vehicles. Headquartered in Detroit, with nearly 85 facilities in 18 countries, AAM is bringing the future faster for a safer and more sustainable tomorrow. Basis of Presentation We have prepared the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but include all normal recurring adjustments, which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. Results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2021 presented herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete consolidated financial statements. In order to prepare the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are impacted by risks and uncertainties, including those associated with COVID-19, the semiconductor supply shortage that is impacting the automotive industry, inflationary pressures, fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. While we have made estimates and assumptions based on the facts and circumstances available as of the date of this report, the full impact of these matters cannot be predicted, and actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Effect of New Accounting Standards and Other Regulatory Pronouncements Accounting Standard Update 2021-10 On November 17, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 - Government Assistance (Topic 832). This guidance established requirements for annual disclosures about certain types of material government assistance, including government grants and tax credits. This guidance became effective and we prospectively adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States. The key provisions of the CARES Act, as they remain applicable to AAM, include the following: •The ability to use net operating losses (NOLs) to offset income without the 80% taxable income limitation enacted as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017, and to carry back NOLs to offset prior year income for five years. These are temporary provisions that apply to NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019 or 2020 tax years. We received income tax refunds of $5.4 million and $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of this provision of the CARES Act. •The ability to defer the payment of the employer portion of social security taxes incurred between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount paid by December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% to be paid by December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2022, we had deferred $7.6 million of social security taxes, which are expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2022.
