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 nine month period ended June 30, 2017 (in millions). As the Adient spin-off occurred on October 31, 2016, there is only one month of Adient results included in the nine month period ended June 30, 2017.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2017, the income from discontinued operations before income taxes included separation costs of $79 million. For the nine months ended June 30, 2017, 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 nine month period ended June 30, 2017 (in millions):
