Discontinued Operations	Note 12—Discontinued Operations Presentation and Sale of the Divested MTS Business On January 19, 2021 and prior to the closing of the MTS acquisition, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Divested MTS business to ITW. As a result of the agreement to sell the Divested MTS business to ITW, the Company concluded that the Divested MTS business met the discontinued operations reporting criteria and “held for sale” accounting criteria as of the MTS acquisition date of April 7, 2021, and consequently, the Company did not assign the Divested MTS business to either of its two reportable business segments. Accordingly, since the Divested MTS business has never been nor was expected to ever be considered part of our continuing operations, the Company accounted for the operating results and related cash flows associated with the Divested MTS business as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow, respectively, as of the MTS acquisition date through December 1, 2021, the date of the sale of the Divested MTS business. The Company also ceased recording depreciation and amortization on the held for sale assets as of the MTS acquisition date. In 2021, the assets and liabilities associated with the Divested MTS business were presented as current assets held for sale and current liabilities held for sale, respectively, on the Company’s balance sheet throughout the period in which Amphenol owned the business. As discussed in Note 11 herein, the purchase price allocation associated with the Divested MTS business was performed separately from the MTS Sensors business, as the Divested MTS business met the “held for sale” accounting criteria. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulting from the purchase price allocation for the Divested MTS business were measured and recorded at fair value less costs to sell as of the date of the MTS acquisition and recorded as current assets held for sale and current liabilities held for sale, as separate single line items in the Company’s balance sheet from the MTS acquisition date through December 1, 2021, the date of the sale of the Divested MTS business. In addition, the Company assumed a $28.7 contingent consideration liability from the MTS acquisition, which was recognized at fair value as part of acquisition accounting. This contingent consideration was recorded within current liabilities held for sale in the Company’s balance sheet as of the acquisition date. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company made a capital contribution to the Divested MTS business, which in turn used the funding to settle the contingent consideration. On December 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of the Divested MTS business to ITW for approximately $750, net of cash divested and excluding related transaction fees and expenses. The proceeds from the sale of the Divested MTS business were included in Net cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 2021. Amphenol has no continuing involvement with the Divested MTS business now that its sale has been consummated. At December 31, 2021, there were no assets held for sale nor liabilities held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as a result of the sale of the Divested MTS business in December 2021. In addition, there were no material adjustments to previously reported balances associated with the assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale. The sale of the Divested MTS business did not result in any significant gain or loss recorded to discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2021.
