Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented as historically managed within UTC. The Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of UTC. They have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect periods prior to the Separation and thus are prepared on a "carve-out" basis, as described below. The Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Operations include all revenues and costs directly attributable to Carrier, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by Carrier. Costs for certain functions and services performed by UTC are directly charged to Carrier based on specific identification when possible or based on a reasonable allocation driver such as net sales, headcount, proportionate usage or other allocation methods. The results of operations include allocations of costs for administrative functions and services performed on behalf of Carrier by centralized groups within UTC and certain pension and other post-retirement benefit costs (see Note 5 – Related Parties for a description of the allocation methodologies). All charges and allocations for facilities, functions and services performed by UTC have been deemed settled in cash by Carrier to UTC in the period in which the cost was recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Operations. Current and deferred income taxes have been determined based on Carrier's stand-alone results. However, because the Company has historically filed tax returns as part of UTC in certain jurisdictions, the Company’s actual tax balances may differ from those reported. The Company’s portion of income taxes for domestic and certain jurisdictions outside the United States are deemed settled in the period the related tax expense was recorded. We entered into a transition services agreement ("TSA") with UTC and Otis Worldwide Corporation ("Otis") in connection with the Separation pursuant to which UTC provides us with certain services and we provide certain services to UTC for a limited time to help ensure an orderly transition following the Separation. The services we receive include, but are not limited to, information technology services, technical and engineering support, application support for operations, legal, payroll, finance, tax and accounting, general administrative services and other support services. Because costs for these services historically were included in our operating results through expense allocations from UTC, we do not expect the costs associated with the TSA to be materially different and, therefore, we do not expect such costs to materially affect our results of operations or cash flows after becoming an independent publicly traded company. UTC used a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. Accordingly, none of the cash, third party debt or related interest expense of UTC has been allocated to Carrier in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. However, cash balances primarily associated with certain foreign entities that do not participate in UTC’s cash management program have been included in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. Transactions between UTC and Carrier are deemed settled immediately through UTC’s Net investment, other than those transactions which have historically been cash-settled and which are reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet within Accounts receivable and Accounts payable. The net effect of the deemed settled transactions is reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Cash Flows as Net transfers to UTC within financing activities and in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as UTC’s Net investment (see Note 5 – Related Parties for additional information). All significant intra-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. The Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements of the Company include assets and liabilities that have been determined to be specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. All of the allocations and estimates in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements included herein may not be indicative of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in the future, or if the Company had been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling investors’ interests in the results of subsidiaries that we control and combine. Certain immaterial amounts presented in the Information Statement have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Included in these presentation changes, we reclassified the Current portion of long-term debt from Accrued liabilities for 2019 on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU and its related amendments (collectively, the "Credit Loss Standard") modifies the credit loss model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of an incurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables, contract assets, long term receivables and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Credit Loss Standard requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, including historical information, current conditions and a reasonable forecast period. This ASU requires that the statement of operations reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as the expected increase or decrease of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period, which may result in earlier recognition. The Company adopted the Credit Loss Standard effective January 1, 2020 utilizing a modified retrospective approach and adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this ASU, a goodwill impairment is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the reporting unit and its fair value, but not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, this ASU requires the same impairment testing methodology for all reporting units, even those with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets and requires an entity to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU removes the disclosure requirements for the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements.
