_____________________________ 1 Acquisitions relate to the Company’s 2021 purchase of AKASOL and 2020 purchase of Delphi Technologies 2 In 2021, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test over its indefinite-lived trade names, which indicated that for one trade name the fair value was less than the carrying value. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value to the fair value. In 2020, as a result of an evaluation of the underlying technologies and management of the business subsequent to the acquisition of Delphi Technologies, the Company reduced the useful life of certain intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2020 as they no longer provided future economic benefit. This resulted in accelerated amortization expense of $38 million and the removal of the related gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of these assets.
