Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block] | 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS Pending Business Combination with Dowlais Group plc In the first quarter of 2025, AAM announced that we reached an agreement with the Board of Directors of Dowlais Group plc (Dowlais) on the terms of a recommended cash and share offer to be made by AAM to acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Dowlais (the Business Combination). In connection with the Business Combination, on January 29, 2025, AAM and Dowlais entered into a Co-operation Agreement. Pursuant to the Business Combination, Dowlais shareholders will be entitled to receive for each Dowlais ordinary share: 0.0881 shares of new AAM common stock and 43 pence per share in cash (approximately $0.58 per share as of September 30, 2025). The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of AAM and Dowlais and has also been approved by both sets of shareholders. Following the close of the transaction, the combined company will be headquartered in Detroit, Michigan and will be led by AAM's Chairman and CEO. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. See Note 5 - Long-Term Debt for additional detail regarding financing for the Business Combination. Disposition of AAM India Manufacturing Corporation Pvt., Ltd. In October 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our commercial vehicle axle business and related assets in India (AAM India Manufacturing Corporation Pvt., Ltd.) to Bharat Forge Limited (BFL) for a sales price of $65.0 million. In July 2025, we completed the sale of AAM India Manufacturing Corporation Pvt., Ltd., and in October 2025, we reached an agreement with BFL on the final settlement amount associated with the post-closing adjustments, including the final working capital true-up. As a result, total cash proceeds from the sale, net of cash divested, were $64.4 million, of which we collected $58.1 million in July 2025 and the remaining $6.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $8.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of this business to fair value less cost to sell. The sale of AAM India Manufacturing Corporation Pvt., Ltd. did not qualify for classification as discontinued operations as the sale does not represent a strategic shift in our business that has had, or will have, a major effect on our operations and financial results. Disposition of Affiliates In the first quarter of 2025, we exited our 50% ownership of both Hefei AAM Automotive Driveline & Chassis System Co., Ltd. and Liuzhou AAM Automotive Driveline System Co., Ltd. As a result, we collected $30.1 million in cash, which approximated the carrying value of our investments in these joint ventures at the time of disposition. We accounted for these Chinese joint ventures as equity method investments and, as such, their results of operations, cash flows and account balances were not consolidated in our financial statements.
