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. Due to the insignificant size of the 2023 and 2022 acquisitions, both individually and in the aggregate, relative to the Company, supplemental pro forma financial information for the current and prior reporting periods is not provided. Eldor Corporation’s Electric Hybrid Systems Business On June 19, 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire the Electric Hybrid Systems business segment of Eldor Corporation (“Eldor”), which is headquartered in Italy. The purchase price due at closing is €75 million ($79 million), with up to €175 million ($185 million) in contingent payments that could be paid over the two years following closing. The Company expects the acquisition to complement its existing ePropulsion product portfolio by enhancing the Company’s engineering capabilities in power electronics. The transaction is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023. Hubei Surpass Sun Electric Charging Business On March 1, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the electric vehicle solution, smart grid and smart energy businesses (“SSE”) of Hubei Surpass Sun Electric, pursuant to an Equity Transfer Agreement. The acquisition complements the Company’s existing European and North American charging footprint by adding a presence in China. The total consideration was ¥288 million ($42 million), including ¥268 million ($39 million) of base purchase price and ¥20 million ($3 million) of estimated earn-out payments. The Company paid ¥217 million ($31 million) of base purchase price in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Of the remaining ¥51 million ($8 million) of base purchase price, ¥31 million ($5 million) is payable by April 30, 2024 and is recorded in Other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023. The remaining ¥20 million ($3 million) of base purchase price is payable before April 30, 2025 and is recorded in Other non-current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company’s obligation to remit up to ¥103 million ($15 million) of earn-out payments is contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue and pre-tax profit margin targets in 2023 and 2024 as well as the retention of key employees during the same time period. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s estimate of the earn-out payments was approximately ¥20 million ($3 million), of which half is recorded in Other current liabilities and half is recorded in Other non-current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The purchase price was allocated on a provisional basis as of March 1, 2023, and all 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. The Company subsequently finalized its valuation of the assets and liabilities of the SSE acquisition during the third quarter of 2023, and the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed amounted to total assets of $50 million, including goodwill and intangibles of $5 million, and total liabilities of $8 million. These final amounts were not materially different than the estimated values recorded on March 1, 2023. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets was recognized as goodwill. Goodwill of $2 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 deductible for tax purposes in China. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $3 million for intangible assets, primarily for customer relationships and developed technology. Identifiable intangible assets were valued using the income approach The following table summarizes the other intangible assets acquired:
(in millions) | Estimated Life |  | Estimated Fair Value
Developed technology | 5 years |  | $ | 2 |
