Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
ACQUISITIONS | ACQUISITIONS In accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” acquisitions are recorded using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company recognizes and measures the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest using a range of methodologies as indicated by generally accepted valuation practices. Various valuation techniques are used to determine the fair value of intangible assets, with the primary techniques being forms of the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty and multi-period excess earnings valuation methods. Under these valuation approaches, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions from a market participant perspective and may include revenue growth rates, estimated earnings, royalty rates, obsolescence factors, contributory asset charges, customer attrition and discount rates. Hubei Surpass Sun Electric Charging Business On September 20, 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement under which BorgWarner will acquire the electric vehicle solution, smart grid and smart energy businesses of Hubei Surpass Sun Electric. The transaction has an enterprise value up to ¥410 million ($60 million), of which approximately ¥267 million ($39 million) will be delivered at or soon after closing and up to ¥143 million ($21 million) could be paid in the form of contingent payments over approximately two years following the closing. The acquisition complements the Company’s existing European and North American charging footprint by adding a presence in China. The transaction is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023. Rhombus Energy Solutions On July 29, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of Rhombus Energy Solutions (“Rhombus”), a provider of charging solutions in the North American market, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”). The acquisition complements the Company’s existing European charging footprint to accelerate organic growth and adds North American regional presence to its charging business. The total consideration was $131 million, all of which was paid at the time of closing. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is obligated to remit up to $30 million of earn-out payments, payable in 2025, contingent upon achievement of certain sales dollars, sales volume, and gross margin targets. The Company’s current estimates indicate that the minimum thresholds for these earn-out targets will not be achieved, thus no amount for the earn-out payments has been included in the purchase consideration or in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is obligated to remit up to $25 million over the next three years in key employee retention related payments, which include certain performance targets. The amounts will be accounted for as post-combination expense. The purchase price was allocated on a provisional basis as of July 29, 2022. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair values based on management’s estimates, available information, and supportable assumptions that management considered reasonable. Certain estimated values for the acquisition, including goodwill, tangible and intangible assets and deferred taxes, are not yet finalized, and the provisional purchase price allocations are subject to change as the Company completes its analysis of the fair value at the date of acquisition. The final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be materially different from the estimated values shown below. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of July 29, 2022, the acquisition date:
(in millions) | Initial Allocation |  |  |  |
ASSETS |  |  |  |  |
Current assets | $ | 7 |  |  |  |  |
Goodwill | 104 |  |  |  |  |
Other intangible assets, net | 27 |  |  |  |  |
Other non-current assets | 4 |  |  |  |  |
Total assets acquired | 142 |  |  |  |  |
LIABILITIES |  |  |  |  |
Current liabilities | 3 |  |  |  |  |
Other non-current liabilities | 8 |  |  |  |  |
Total liabilities assumed | 11 |  |  |  |  |
Net assets acquired | $ | 131 |  |  |  |  |
Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets was recognized as goodwill. Goodwill of $104 million was recorded within the Company’s Air Management segment. The goodwill consists of the Company’s expected future economic benefits that will be realized from expanding the Company’s electric vehicle portfolio as electric vehicle production continues to increase. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In connection with the acquisition, the Company preliminarily recorded $27 million for intangible assets, primarily for developed technology. As described above, the provisional fair value of intangible assets was valued using the income approach. Management used a third-party valuation firm to assist in the determination of the provisional purchase accounting fair values; however, management ultimately oversees the third-party valuation firm to ensure that the transaction-specific assumptions are appropriate for the Company. The impact of the Rhombus acquisition on net sales and net earnings was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Due to its insignificant size relative to the Company, supplemental pro forma financial information of the combined entity for the current and prior reporting periods is not provided. Santroll Automotive Components On March 31, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of Santroll Automotive Components (“Santroll”), a carve-out of Santroll Electric Auto’s eMotor business, pursuant to the terms of an Equity Transfer Agreement (“ETA”). The acquisition is expected to strengthen the Company’s vertical integration, scale and portfolio breadth in light vehicle eMotors while allowing for increased speed to market. The total final consideration was $207 million, which includes final working capital and net debt adjustments of $5 million. The consideration includes approximately ¥1.1 billion ($167 million) of base purchase price and ¥0.25 billion ($40 million) of originally estimated earn-out payments. The Company paid approximately ¥1.0 billion ($157 million) of base purchase price in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The remaining $10 million of base purchase price is recorded in Other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022. Pursuant to the ETA, the obligation of the Company to remit up to ¥0.3 billion (approximately $47 million) of earn-out payments is contingent upon achievement of certain sales volume targets and certain estimated future volume targets associated with newly awarded business. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s estimate of the earn-out payments was approximately $31 million, which is recorded in Other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The purchase price was allocated on a preliminary basis as of March 31, 2022. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair values based on management’s estimates, available information, and supportable assumptions that management considered reasonable. Certain estimated values for the acquisition, including goodwill and deferred taxes, are not yet finalized, and the preliminary purchase price allocations are subject to change as the Company completes its analysis of the fair value at the date of acquisition. The final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be materially different from the estimated values shown below. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 31, 2022, the acquisition date:
(in millions) | Initial Allocation |  | Measurement Period Adjustments |  | Revised Allocation

Current assets | $ | 8 |  |  | $ | (3) |  |  | $ | 5 |
Property, plant and equipment, net | 9 |  |  | 4 |  |  | 13 |

Net assets acquired | $ | 212 |  |  | $ | (5) |  |  | $ | 207 |
Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets was recognized as goodwill. Goodwill of $127 million was recorded within the Company’s e-Propulsion & Drivetrain segment. The goodwill consists of the Company’s expected future economic benefits that will arise from future product sales and the added capabilities from vertical integration of eMotors. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes in China. The following table summarizes the other intangible assets acquired:
(in millions) | Estimated Life |  | Estimated Fair Value
Customer relationships | 12 years |  | $ | 62 |
Manufacturing processes (know-how) | 10 years |  | 25 |
Total other intangible assets |  |  | $ | 87 |
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets were valued using the income approach. Management used a third-party valuation firm to assist in the determination of the preliminary purchase accounting fair values; however, management ultimately oversees the third-party valuation firm to ensure that the transaction-specific assumptions are appropriate for the Company. The impact of the Santroll acquisition on net sales and net earnings was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Due to its insignificant size relative to the Company, supplemental pro forma financial information of the combined entity for the current and prior reporting periods is not provided. AKASOL AG On June 4, 2021, the Company completed its voluntary public takeover offer for shares of AKASOL AG (“AKASOL”), resulting in ownership of 89% of AKASOL’s outstanding shares. The Company paid approximately €648 million ($788 million) to settle the offer from current cash balances, which included proceeds received from its public offering of 1.00% Senior Notes due 2031 completed on May 19, 2021. Following the settlement of the offer, AKASOL became a consolidated majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon that settlement, the Company also consolidated approximately €64 million ($77 million) of gross debt of AKASOL. Subsequent to the completion of the voluntary public takeover offer, the Company purchased additional shares of AKASOL for €28 million ($33 million) increasing its ownership to 93% as of December 31, 2021. On August 2, 2021, the Company initiated a merger squeeze-out process under German law for the purpose of acquiring 100% of AKASOL. On December 17, 2021, the shareholders of AKASOL voted to mandatorily transfer to ABBA BidCo. AG, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, each issued and outstanding share of AKASOL held by shareholders who did not tender their shares in the Company’s previously completed exchange offer for AKASOL shares (the “Squeeze Out”). In exchange for the AKASOL shares transferred in the Squeeze Out, the Company paid appropriate cash compensation, in the amount of €119.16 per share, which was determined after an assessment by a third-party valuation firm, the adequacy of which was examined by an independent, court-appointed auditor. At December 31, 2021, the noncontrolling interest in AKASOL of approximately €51 million ($58 million) to be acquired through the Squeeze Out was reclassified to Other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as it was deemed mandatorily redeemable. No shareholder objections were filed during the statutory contestation period, and on February 10, 2022, the Company completed the registration of the Squeeze Out resulting in 100% ownership. The Company settled the Squeeze Out with AKASOL minority shareholders in the first quarter of 2022. The acquisition further strengthens BorgWarner’s commercial vehicle and industrial electrification capabilities, which positions the Company to capitalize on what it believes to be a fast-growing battery module and pack market. The Company finalized its valuation of the assets and liabilities of the AKASOL acquisition during the second quarter of 2022. The following table summarizes the final fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date and subsequent measurement period adjustments:

Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets was recognized as goodwill. Goodwill of $704 million, including the impact of measurement period adjustments, was recorded within the Company’s Air Management segment. The goodwill consists of the Company’s expected future economic benefits that will arise from acquiring this business, which is established in making next-generation products for electric vehicles and the potential development and deployment of future technologies, across a global customer base, in this market and across adjacent industries. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the other intangible assets acquired:
(in millions) | Estimated Life |  | Estimated Fair Value
Amortized intangible assets: |  |  |
Developed technology | 5 years |  | $ | 70 |
Customer relationships | 11 years |  | 25 |
Total amortized intangible assets |  |  | 95 |
Unamortized trade name | Indefinite |  | 35 |
Total other intangible assets |  |  | $ | 130 |
The property, plant and equipment acquired were valued using a combination of cost and market approaches. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets were valued using the income approach. Noncontrolling interests were valued using a market approach. Management used a third-party valuation firm to assist in the determination of the preliminary purchase accounting fair values; however, management ultimately oversees the third-party valuation firm to ensure that the transaction-specific assumptions are appropriate for the Company. Due to its insignificant size relative to the Company, supplemental pro forma financial information of the combined entity for the current and prior reporting periods is not provided. Romeo Power, Inc. In May 2019, the Company invested $50 million in exchange for a 20% equity interest in Romeo Systems, Inc., now known as Romeo Power, Inc., (“Romeo”) a technology-leading battery module and pack supplier that was then privately held. On December 29, 2020, through the business combination of Romeo Systems, Inc. and special purpose acquisition company RMG Acquisition Corporation, a new entity, Romeo Power, Inc., became a publicly listed company. The Company’s ownership in Romeo was reduced to 14%, and the investment was recorded at fair value on an ongoing basis with changes in fair value being recognized in Unrealized (gain) loss on equity securities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a loss of $61 million and $337 million, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of the Company’s investment to fair value. As of December 31, 2021, the investment’s fair value was $70 million, which was reflected in Investments and long-term receivables in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a loss of $39 million and liquidated its investment in Romeo shares at a fair value of $31 million. As of March 17, 2022, the Company no longer held any investment in Romeo. In September 2019, the Company and Romeo contributed total equity of $10 million and formed a new joint venture, BorgWarner Romeo Power LLC (“Romeo JV”), in which the Company owned a 60% interest. Romeo JV was a variable interest entity focusing on producing battery module and pack technology. The Company was the primary beneficiary of Romeo JV and had consolidated Romeo JV in its consolidated financial statements. On October 25, 2021, the Company delivered written notice to Romeo that the Company was electing to exercise its right to put its ownership stake in Romeo JV to Romeo. Based on an independent appraisal, the Company’s interest in Romeo JV was valued at $30 million. In February 2022, the Company completed the sale of its 60% interest in Romeo JV for $29 million, the fair value of $30 million reduced by a 5% discount pursuant to the joint venture agreement. The Company recorded a gain of $24 million in Other operating expense, net, which represented the difference between the Company’s book value of its interest in Romeo JV compared to the fair value of consideration received. As a result of the sale, the Company has no further rights in or involvement with Romeo JV.
