[a] | Impairment of assets
During 2019, the Company concluded that indicators of impairment were present within the Power & Vision segment related to its equity-accounted investments in Getrag (Jiangxi) Transmission Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Getrag Transmission Co. Ltd. in China, which make both manual transmissions and dual-clutch transmissions [“DCTs”], and its equity-accounted investment Getrag Ford Transmission GmbH [“GFT”] in Europe which makes manual transmissions. The conclusion was based on lower than expected sales, increased pricing pressure in the China market, declines in volume projections for the foreseeable future for manual transmissions and DCTs in China and manual transmissions in Europe, and in-sourcing of transmissions by certain Chinese OEMs. Accordingly, the Company deemed there to be an other-than-temporary decline, and undertook an impairment analysis to determine the fair value of the investments utilizing discounted cash flows to derive fair values. Based on the analyses, the carrying value of the Company’s investments exceeded fair value by $700 million. Including the $36 million impact of income taxes and the $127 million attributable to non-controlling interest, the non-cash impairment charge included in net income attributable t o the Company was $537 million.

D uring 2018, the Company concluded that indicators of impairment were present related to its investment in GFT and undertook an impairment analysis to determine the fair value of the investment. Based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the investment in GFT, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $60 million [$59 million after tax].
