Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations Air-X-Changers Acquisition On July 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of AXC pursuant to the previously disclosed Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of May 8, 2019 (the “AXC acquisition”). The purchase price for AXC was $599.7, including post-closing purchase price adjustments with respect to working capital. We paid $592.0 of the purchase price at closing and the final working capital adjustment of $7.7 was paid during the third quarter of 2019. We financed the purchase price for the AXC acquisition with proceeds from borrowings under the 2019 Credit Facilities and the 2019 Equity Offering. See Note 8, “Debt and Credit Arrangements” and Note 11 “Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” for more information. We incurred $1.2 and $4.2 in transaction related costs during the second quarter of 2019 and the third quarter of 2019, respectively, related to the AXC acquisition which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of income. AXC is a leading supplier of custom engineered and manufactured ACHX for the natural gas compression and processing industry and refining and petrochemical industry in the United States. The ACHX offered by AXC is used in conditioning natural gas during recovery, compression and transportation from underground reserves through major pipeline distribution channels. In addition to natural gas compression and processing, AXC’s products are also used in the turbine lube oil cooling, landfill gas compression and liquids cooling industries. AXC’s end markets include process industries, power generation and refineries. AXC was combined with Chart’s Hudson Products business and Chart Cooler Services businesses from the prior E&C segment to create a new segment called E&C FinFans. The E&C FinFans segment is focused on our unique and broad product offering and capabilities in ACHX and fans. We preliminarily allocated the acquisition consideration to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The preliminary fair value of the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets were determined based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. It is also based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the acquisition. As such, this was classified as Level 3 fair value hierarchy measurements and disclosures. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is assigned to goodwill. We estimated the preliminary fair value of acquired developed technology and trademarks using the relief from royalty method. The preliminary fair values of acquired customer backlog and customer relationships were estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. Under both the relief from royalty and multi-period excess earnings methods, the fair value models incorporated estimates of future cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows, estimates of future growth rates, and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates to use to discount such estimates of cash flows. The estimated useful lives of identifiable finite-lived intangible assets range from one to 12 years. During the third quarter of 2019, we prepared a preliminary fair value analyses of acquired assets and liabilities as well as certain other analyses. The acquisition consideration allocation below has been updated based on this valuation but remains preliminary. As additional information becomes available, we may further revise the preliminary acquisition consideration allocation during the remainder of the measurement period, which shall not exceed twelve months from the closing of the acquisition. Any such revisions or changes may be material. Those areas that are subject to change, include the following:
• | certain assumptions regarding the backlog intangible asset valuation including its useful life,
• | finalizing the PP&E valuation and the respective useful lives for certain asset categories, and
• | finalizing the evaluation of the income tax accounting considerations, including income tax effects of the above matters.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed in the AXC acquisition:

Supplemental Pro Forma Information The following unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is based on our historical condensed consolidated financial statements and AXC’s historical condensed consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the July 1, 2019 AXC acquisition. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information for the periods presented gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2018. The following adjustments are reflected in the pro forma financial table below: •Adjustment for depreciation related to the step-up in basis of the acquired property, plant and equipment and change in estimated useful lives. •Adjustment for amortization of acquired intangible assets. •Adjustment for the change from last in, first out (LIFO) to weighted-average cost for the acquired inventory and the associated reduction of cost of sales. •Adjustment to reflect an increase in interest expense resulting from interest on the term loan under the 2019 Credit Facilities to finance the AXC acquisition and amortization of related debt issuance costs. •Adjustment to reflect the change in the estimated income tax rate for federal and state purposes. •Adjustment to reflect the increase in weighted-average shares in connection with the equity issuance.

VRV Acquisition On November 15, 2018, Chart completed the acquisition of VRV pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Share Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the original parties as well as VRV that replaced in full the original Purchase Agreement. Immediately thereafter, we assigned all of our rights and obligations under the Amendment to VRV Holdings S.r.l. (“Holdings”), a newly formed Italian subsidiary of Chart. The Amendment provided a revised transaction structure pursuant to which Holdings acquired VRV Technoservice S.r.l. (“VRV Technoservice”), a newly formed Italian company wholly owned by VRV (the “Acquisition”). Prior to the Acquisition, as contemplated in the Amendment, VRV contributed substantially all of its business to VRV Technoservice. VRV Technoservice changed its name to VRV S.r.l. following the Acquisition. The Acquisition purchase price was 191.1 million euros (equivalent to $216.1), net of cash assumed of 1.3 million euros (equivalent to $1.4), is inclusive of the base purchase price of 125.0 million euros (equivalent to $141.3) paid in cash, assumed indebtedness of VRV, which was paid off immediately at closing or shortly thereafter, of 63.7 million euros (equivalent to $72.0), and net working capital and other agreed-upon purchase price adjustments finalized during the first half of 2019 of 3.7 million euros (equivalent to $4.2) which was settled early in the second quarter of 2019. Additional indebtedness of VRV of 4.4 million euros (equivalent to $4.9) was assumed at the acquisition date and paid off during the first and second quarters of 2019. All U.S. dollar equivalent dollar amounts are based on the exchange rate as of the acquisition date. We funded the Acquisition, including the subsequent payoff of assumed indebtedness, with borrowings of 140.0 million euros (equivalent to $160.3) from our former senior secured revolving credit facility and the remainder with cash on hand. VRV, which has operations in Italy, France and India, is a diversified multinational corporation with highly automated, purpose-built facilities for the design and manufacture of pressure equipment serving the cryogenic and energy & petrochemical end markets. VRV’s results are included in our E&C Cryogenics and D&S East segments from the date of the Acquisition. As defined in our significant accounting policy for business combinations in Note 2, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, we preliminarily allocated the Acquisition consideration to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values as of the Acquisition date. The preliminary fair value of the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets were determined based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. It is also based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the Acquisition. As such, this was classified as Level 3 fair value hierarchy measurements and disclosures. During the third quarter of 2019, we prepared a preliminary fair value analyses of acquired assets and liabilities as well as certain other analyses. The Acquisition consideration allocation below has been updated based on this valuation but remains preliminary. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation and make the necessary adjustments during the fourth quarter of 2019. Any such revisions or changes may be material. Those areas that are subject to change, include the following:
• | finalizing the inventory valuation and certain other working capital accounts,
• | certain assumptions regarding the customer relationship intangible asset valuation,
• | finalizing the PP&E valuation and the respective useful lives for certain asset categories, and
• | finalizing the evaluation of the income tax accounting considerations, including income tax effects of the above matters.
The preliminary estimated useful lives of identifiable finite-lived intangible assets range from 2 to 12 years. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is assigned to goodwill. The preliminary estimated goodwill was established due to benefits including the combination of strong engineering and manufacturing cultures which will continue to further develop full service solutions for our worldwide customer base, as well as the benefits derived from the anticipated synergies of VRV integrating with Chart’s E&C Cryogenics and D&S East segments. Goodwill recorded for the VRV acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the VRV acquisition as of the acquisition date:
| September 30, 2019 |  | Adjustments |  | As Previously Reported December 31, 2018
Net assets acquired: |  |  |  |  |
Identifiable intangible assets | $ | 41.2 |  |  | $ | (25.4 | ) |  | $ | 66.6 |
Property, plant and equipment | 67.5 |  |  | (3.0 | ) |  | 70.5 |
Goodwill | 106.4 |  |  | 43.2 |  |  | 63.2 |
Other net assets | 7.3 |  |  | (10.6 | ) |  | 17.9 |
Debt | (4.9 | ) |  | — |  |  | (4.9 | )
Net assets acquired | $ | 217.5 |  |  | $ | 4.2 |  |  | $ | 213.3 |
During the nine month period ending September 30, 2019, net assets acquired included adjustments to other net assets and goodwill based on U.S. GAAP purchase accounting primarily due to inventory valuation and balance sheet accounts related to revenue recognition. Net assets acquired, including goodwill, was also adjusted to reflect the net working capital and other agreed-upon purchase price adjustments of $4.2 negotiated during the nine month period ending September 30, 2019. Information regarding preliminary identifiable intangible assets acquired in the VRV acquisition is presented below:
| Weighted-average Estimated Useful Life |  | September 30, 2019 |  | Adjustments |  | As Previously Reported December 31, 2018
Finite-lived intangible assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Customer relationships | 12.0 years |  | $ | 14.5 |  |  | $ | (13.6 | ) |  | $ | 28.1 |
Unpatented technology | 12.0 years |  | 22.2 |  |  | 6.3 |  |  | 15.9 |

The following unaudited supplemental pro forma sales are based on our historical consolidated financial statements and VRV’s historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the November 15, 2018 acquisition of VRV. The unaudited supplemental pro forma sales information for the periods presented gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2018. The unaudited supplemental pro forma sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 for the Company including VRV would have been approximately $297.1 and $878.2. It is impracticable to disclose the pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share information because of significant differences between Chart accounting policies following U.S. GAAP and those followed by VRV. The unaudited pro forma sales information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the Acquisition been in effect at the beginning of the period presented. In addition, the unaudited pro forma sales results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any operating efficiencies or cost savings that might be achievable. Skaff Acquisition On January 2, 2018, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of Skaff Cryogenics and Cryo-Lease, LLC (together “Skaff”) for an approximate purchase price of $12.5, net of cash acquired. Skaff provides quality repair service and re-manufacturing of cryogenic and liquefied natural gas storage tanks and trailers and also maintains a portfolio of cryogenic storage equipment that is leased to customers for temporary and permanent needs. Skaff is headquartered in Brentwood, New Hampshire and provides services and equipment to customers in North America. Skaff’s results are included in the D&S West operating segment. During the first quarter of 2019, the Skaff purchase price allocation was finalized, which resulted in an adjustment to the opening balance sheet increasing long-term deferred tax liabilities and goodwill each by $0.8. Additional information related to the Skaff acquisition has not been presented because the impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial position is not material. Contingent Consideration The estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to the 2015 Thermax acquisition of our D&S West segment, was $1.8 at the date of acquisition and was valued according to a discounted cash flow approach, which included assumptions regarding the probability of achieving certain earnings targets and a discount rate applied to the potential payments. Potential payments were due to be paid before July 1, 2019 based on the attainment of certain earnings targets. The earnings targets for Thermax were below the minimum threshold so no contingent consideration was paid for the final year of the four year earn-out period.
