Discontinued Operations [Abstract] |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations On October 31, 2016, the Company completed the spin-off of its Automotive Experience business by way of the transfer of the Automotive Experience business from Johnson Controls to Adient plc and the issuance of ordinary shares of Adient directly to holders of Johnson Controls ordinary shares on a pro rata basis. Prior to the open of business on October 31, 2016, each of the Company's shareholders received one ordinary share of Adient plc for every 10 ordinary shares of Johnson Controls held as of the close of business on October 19, 2016, the record date for the distribution. Company shareholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares of Adient, if any. Following the separation and distribution, Adient plc is now an independent public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "ADNT." The Company did not retain any equity interest in Adient plc. Adient’s historical financial results are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation. The Company did not allocate any general corporate overhead to discontinued operations. The following table summarizes the results of Adient, reclassified as discontinued operations for the three month period ended December 31, 2016 (in millions). As the Adient spin-off occurred on October 31, 2016, there is only one month of Adient results included in the three month period ended December 31, 2016.

For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the income from discontinued operations before income taxes included separation costs of $79 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the effective tax rate was more than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the tax impacts of separation costs and Adient spin-off related tax expense, partially offset by non-U.S. tax rate differentials. The following table summarizes depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, and significant operating and investing noncash items related to Adient for the three month period ended December 31, 2016 (in millions):

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its Scott Safety business of the Global Products segment to 3M Company. The transaction closed on October 4, 2017. The assets and liabilities of this business are presented as held for sale in the consolidated statements of financial position as of September 30, 2017.

As a result, $18 million of goodwill was transfered to assets held for sale in the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2017. The business did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation as the divestiture of the business will not have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. At December 31, 2017, $22 million of certain Corporate assets were classified as held for sale.
