6 Months Ended

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have restated herein our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. We have also restated impacted amounts within the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements, as applicable. The restatement of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was previously reported in our 2019 Annual Report.

Restatement Background

On October 24, 2019, we reported that we had commenced an internal investigation into certain intra-company transactions that impacted our previously reported non-operating foreign exchange gains and losses. Our internal investigation, as it pertains to the evaluation of related financial statement impacts, is complete.

We previously had applied a longstanding convention for the initial measurement of foreign currency transactions and the subsequent remeasurement of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities (collectively, our historical exchange rate convention) that was not consistent with U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP requires that foreign currency transactions be initially measured and recorded in an entity’s functional currency using the exchange rate on the date of the transaction and it requires that foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities be remeasured at the end of each reporting period using the exchange rate at that date. Under our historical exchange rate convention, all foreign currency transactions in a given month were initially measured using exchange rates from a specified date near the middle of the previous month. Additionally, all foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities were subsequently remeasured at the end of each month using exchange rates from a specified date near the middle of the current month. Beginning years after the adoption of our historical exchange rate convention, certain intra-company transactions were undertaken, after the related exchange rates were already known, solely for the purpose of generating non-operating foreign exchange gains or avoiding foreign exchange losses.

We identified misstatements relating to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and foreign currency derivative contracts that caused our Other income (expense), net and Income before income taxes to be overstated by $32 million and $36 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Our quantification of those misstatements to our previously reported foreign exchange gains and losses was not limited to intra-company transactions undertaken for the purpose of generating foreign exchange gains or avoiding foreign

exchange losses after the related exchange rates were already known. Rather, we identified every legal entity within our consolidated group that had foreign exchange gains or losses above an immaterial threshold and, for those entities, we remeasured all foreign exchange gains and losses from foreign currency denominated cash balances and intra-company loan receivables and payables using the exchange rates required by U.S. GAAP. For those entities, we also quantified misstatements to our previously reported gains and losses on foreign currency derivative contracts, which had used foreign exchange rates determined under our historical exchange rate convention as inputs to the fair value measurements of those contracts. Our quantification of misstatements to the condensed consolidated financial statements did not include foreign currency gains or losses from short-term third-party and intra-company trade receivables and trade payables denominated in foreign currencies. We determined that any potential misstatements relating to such balances that arise in the ordinary course of business and are ultimately settled for cash within a short period of time, generally thirty to sixty days, would not be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In order to correct our previously issued financial statements, we have restated herein our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. In addition to the misstatements described above relating to foreign exchange gains and losses, we corrected additional misstatements that were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements. Those other immaterial misstatements relate to equipment leased to customers under operating leases, classification of foreign currency gains and losses on cash balances and intra-company loan receivables and payables in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, translation of the financial position and results of operations of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars, other miscellaneous adjustments, and the income tax effects of those items.

We believe that the use of our historical exchange rate convention to generate non-operating foreign exchange gains and avoid losses had occurred for at least ten years. The cumulative impact of misstatements related to non-operating foreign exchange gains and losses that we corrected for periods earlier than 2019, as well as the cumulative impact of correcting other immaterial misstatements relating to those earlier periods, have been recorded as a reduction to our opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2019.

The categories of misstatements and their impact on our previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are described in more detail below.

Description of Misstatements

Misstatements of Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses

(a) Foreign Currency Denominated Monetary Assets and Liabilities

As discussed above, we recorded adjustments to correct foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency to reflect the gains and losses resulting from application of the exchange rates required by U.S. GAAP. The impacts of the foreign currency gain or loss misstatements are discussed in restatement reference (a) throughout this note.

(b) Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts

As discussed above, we recorded adjustments to correct gains and losses on foreign currency derivative contracts by using current exchange rates at the applicable measurement dates as inputs to the related fair value measurements. The impacts of the foreign currency derivative contract gain or loss misstatements are discussed in restatement reference (b) throughout this note.

Additional Misstatements

Our manufacturing subsidiaries often sell products to commercial subsidiaries within our consolidated group which then sell or lease those products to third-party customers. Under U.S. GAAP, intra-company sales, intra-company cost of sales, and any step-ups in the carrying amount of inventory from intra-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation. If we subsequently sell the products to a third-party customer, the related intra-company profit previously eliminated in consolidation is recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For transactions in which we lease, rather than sell, our products to customers under operating lease arrangements, no

profit or loss should be recognized at inception of the arrangement and any intra-company profit previously eliminated in consolidation should be recognized as a reduction to the carrying amount of the related leased assets. Prior to the third quarter of 2019, our international operations incorrectly recognized intra-company profit previously eliminated in consolidation as a reduction of cost of sales, rather than as a reduction of leased assets, at inception of operating lease arrangements. Accordingly, we have recorded adjustments to increase cost of sales and decrease property, plant, and equipment, net in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Those adjustments include corrections of depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation resulting from the decreases to the carrying amounts of the related leased equipment. The impacts of the operating lease misstatements are discussed in restatement reference (c) throughout this note.

(d) Classification of Foreign Currency Gains and Losses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

We previously included foreign exchange gains and losses related to intra-company receivables and payables and cash balances within our cash flows from operations. In the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, foreign exchange gains and losses, as restated, related to intra-company receivables and payables and cash balances are presented as reconciling items between income from continuing operations and cash flows from operations. The impacts of those misclassifications on our operating cash flows are discussed in restatement reference (d) throughout this note.

(e) Translation of the Financial Position and Results of Operations of our Foreign Operations into U.S. Dollars

U.S. GAAP specifies that the income statement of a foreign operation should be translated into the reporting currency using the exchange rates on the dates the income or expense was recognized and indicates that the use of weighted-average exchange rates during the period is generally appropriate. Similar to our convention for the initial measurement of foreign currency transactions, we historically translated the results of operations of our foreign operations for a given month into U.S. dollars using exchange rates from a specified date near the middle of the previous month. Accordingly, we have recorded adjustments to translate the income statements of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars using the applicable average foreign exchange rates for each month.

U.S. GAAP specifies that the assets and liabilities of foreign operations be translated into the reporting currency at the end of each reporting period using the exchange rate at that date. Similar to our convention for the subsequent remeasurement of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, our financial reporting systems were previously configured to translate assets and liabilities at the end of each month using exchange rates from a specified date near the middle of the current month. In recent years, we separately computed the impact of translating assets and liabilities at period-end exchange rates and adjusted our condensed consolidated balance sheets to reflect that difference. However, due to an incorrect input in those manual calculations as of December 31, 2018, the currency translation adjustments component of our other comprehensive income (loss) was misstated in our condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The impacts of misstatements related to the translation of the financial position and results of operations of our foreign operations are discussed in restatement reference (e) throughout this note.

(f) Other Miscellaneous Adjustments

We recorded adjustments to correct other out-of-period items and previously uncorrected misstatements that were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The impacts of the other miscellaneous adjustments are discussed in restatement reference (f) throughout this note.

Description of Restatement Tables

The following tables were previously presented in our 2019 Annual Report. See Note 19, Quarterly Financial Data (unaudited), to the consolidated financial statements in our 2019 Annual Report. Below, we have presented reconciliations from our prior periods as previously reported to the restated amounts for each of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The amounts as previously reported were derived from our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 filed on July 30, 2019.

The $35 million decrease to net income was driven by the items described above in the condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 section.

(a) Foreign Currency Denominated Monetary Assets and Liabilities—The correction of these misstatements resulted in an increase to the effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents of $33 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

(b) Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts—The correction of these misstatements resulted in an increase to changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

(c) Equipment Leased to Customers under Operating Leases—The correction of these misstatements resulted in decreases to depreciation and amortization of $7 million, deferred income taxes of $2 million and capital expenditures of $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

(d) Classification of Foreign Currency Gains and Losses in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows—The corrections of these misstatements resulted in a decrease to the effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and an increase to other adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash from operating activities of $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

(e) Translation of the Financial Position and Results of Operations of our Foreign Operations into U.S. Dollars—The corrections of these misstatements resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period of $6 million, at the end of the period of $9 million and the effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents of $3 million and a decrease to other changes in balance sheet items of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

(f) Other miscellaneous adjustments—The correction of these misstatements resulted in decreases to depreciation and amortization of $1 million and deferred income taxes of $6 million and an increase to other changes in balance sheet items of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
