Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
ACQUISITIONS | ACQUISITIONS 2023 On December 22, 2023, the Company purchased the remaining ownership shares of Lokomotiv Kurastyru Zauyty (LKZ), a locomotive manufacturing and assembly company located in Kazakhstan, at which time it became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to this purchase, Wabtec owned 50% of LKZ as a joint venture partner and accounted for its ownership interest as an equity method investment. Total purchase price for the remaining 50% interest was $111 million. As a result of the change in ownership interest and obtaining control of LKZ, Wabtec's previously held equity interest balance was remeasured to fair value, resulting in a gain of approximately $35 million recorded to Other income, net. Upon acquisition, Wabtec ceased accounting for the investment using the equity method and recognized 100% of LKZ's identifiable assets and liabilities, and LKZ's results of operations and cash flows are fully consolidated subsequent to the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the fair value of 100% of the LKZ assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
In millions |  |
Assets acquired |  |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 30 |
Accounts receivable |  | 6 |
Inventory |  | 95 |
Property, plant and equipment |  | 36 |
Goodwill |  | 111 |
Other noncurrent assets |  | 3 |
Total assets acquired |  | 281 |
Liabilities assumed |  |
Current liabilities |  | 21 |
Noncurrent liabilities |  | 3 |
Total liabilities assumed |  | 24 |
Net assets acquired |  | $ | 257 |
The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using the income, cost and market approaches. These estimates are preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments, which could be material as the Company has not completed its valuation of acquired assets and liabilities. Any necessary adjustments will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition. Goodwill was calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired and represents the assembled workforce and the future economic benefits of expanding our global operations expected to be achieved as a result of the acquisition. The purchased goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The results of this business since the date of acquisition are reported within the Equipment product line of the Freight Segment. The pro forma impact on Wabtec’s sales and results of operations, including the pro forma effect of events that are directly attributable to the acquisition, was not significant. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company acquired L&M Radiator, Inc., a leading manufacturer of heavy-duty equipment radiators and heat exchangers for the mining sector, for a purchase price of approximately $245 million. The following table summarizes the fair value of the L&M Radiator, Inc. assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Liabilities assumed |  |
Current liabilities |  | 16 |
Noncurrent liabilities |  | 40 |
Total liabilities assumed |  | 56 |
Net assets acquired |  | $ | 245 |
The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using the income, cost and market approaches. Discounted cash flow models were used to estimate the fair values of acquired intangibles. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Intangible assets acquired include customer relationships and acquired technology that are subject to amortization, and trade names that were assigned an indefinite life and are not subject to amortization. Contingent liabilities assumed as part of the transaction are preliminary and subject to change. These estimates are preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments, which could be material as the Company has not completed its valuation of acquired assets and liabilities. Any necessary adjustments will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition. Goodwill was calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired, and represents the assembled workforce and the future economic benefits, including synergies, that are expected to be achieved as a result of the acquisition. The purchased goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The results of this business since the date of acquisition are reported within the Components product line of the Freight Segment. The pro forma impact on Wabtec’s sales and results of operations, including the pro forma effect of events that are directly attributable to the acquisition, was not significant. 2022 During 2022, the Freight Segment made three strategic acquisitions for a combined purchase price of $89 million. Two of the acquisitions are reported in the Digital Intelligence product line and one is reported in the Services product line. Each of the acquisitions in 2022 are individually and collectively immaterial. 2021 On March 31, 2021, the Company acquired Nordco, a leading North American supplier of new, rebuilt and used maintenance of way equipment. Nordco's products and services portfolio includes mobile railcar movers and ultrasonic rail flaw detection technologies. The purchase price paid for 100% ownership of Nordco was approximately $410 million. The following table summarizes the fair value of the Nordco assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
