Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations Howden Acquisition On March 17, 2023 we completed the Howden Acquisition pursuant to the previously disclosed Equity Purchase Agreement dated as of November 9, 2022. The acquisition purchase price was $4,404.9. We financed the purchase price for the Howden Acquisition with proceeds from borrowings under our Amended SSRCF, Amendment No. 3 Term Loan, common and preferred stock issuance and a private offering of Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes. See Note 9, “Debt and Credit Arrangements,” for more information. The following table shows the purchase price in accordance with ASC 805:
Description |
Cash consideration to seller | $ | 2,788.3 |
Howden's debt settled at close | 1,529.0 |
Settlement of seller transaction costs | 67.2 |
Funds held in escrow | 20.4 |
Total ASC 805 purchase price | $ | 4,404.9 |
Howden is a leading global provider of mission critical air and gas handling products providing service and support to customers around the world in highly diversified end markets and geographies. The combination of Chart and Howden is complementary and furthers our global leadership position in highly engineered process technologies and products serving the Nexus of Clean™ – clean power, clean water, clean food and clean industrials. We estimated the preliminary fair value of acquired developed technology and trade names 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 excess of the purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair values is assigned to goodwill. The preliminary estimated goodwill was established due to expected cost synergies, anticipated growth of new customers, and expansion of equipment portfolio and process technology offerings. Goodwill recorded for the Howden Acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. As additional information becomes available, we will 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 Howden Acquisition. Areas that are subject to change include evaluating income tax accounting considerations. We do not believe such revisions or changes will be material. The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Howden Acquisition as of the acquisition date:

Chart’s condensed consolidated financial statements include Howden’s sales and net income of $571.8 and $10.1, respectively, from date the of acquisition through June 30, 2023. We incurred $4.9 and $25.4 in transaction related costs during the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, respectively, related to the Howden Acquisition which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The transaction related costs were incurred by Chart as Howden did not incur any transaction related costs after close of the Howden Acquisition, and these costs are not included in Howden’s net income for our period of ownership. No interest expense is allocated to Howden’s net income for our period of ownership. As part of the Howden Acquisition, we acquired defined benefit pension plans, which are predominately in Germany. As a result, we assumed pension assets of $38.7 and pension liabilities of $41.1, a net $2.4 liability. The preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed disclosed in this note are inclusive of discontinued operations. On June 12, 2023, we signed a definitive agreement to divest our Roots business, which we acquired as part of the Howden acquisition. Please refer to note 2, Discontinued Operations Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Information The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 gives effect to the Howden Acquisition, and the Roots divestiture, as if both occurred on January 1, 2022.

As defined in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, 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 was determined based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The preliminary fair value is based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the acquisition. As such, the acquisitions are classified as Level 3 fair value hierarchy measurements and disclosures. Fronti Fabrications, Inc. Acquisition On May 31, 2022, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of Fronti for approximately $20.6 in cash (subject to certain customary adjustments) or $20.4 net of $0.2 cash acquired. Fronti is a specialist in engineering, machining and welding for the cryogenic and gas industries, and also supplies new build pressure vessels and cold boxes, and performs repairs with certification to American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) code. The fair value of the total net assets acquired include goodwill, identifiable intangible assets and other net assets at the date of acquisition in the amounts of $14.4, $5.3 and $0.9, respectively (as previously reported $14.3, $5.3 and $1.0, respectively). The purchase price allocation and all required purchase accounting adjustments were finalized in the second quarter of 2023. CSC Cryogenic Service Center AB Acquisition On May 16, 2022, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of CSC for approximately $3.8 in cash (subject to certain customary adjustments). CSC brings a strong service footprint in the Nordic region with many overlapping customers to Chart, allowing us to broaden our service and repair presence geographically. The purchase price allocation and all required purchase accounting adjustments were finalized in the second quarter of 2023. Contingent Consideration The fair value of contingent consideration was $16.9 for SES and $3.2 for BIG at the date of acquisitions and was valued according to a discounted cash flow approach, which included assumptions regarding the probability of achieving certain targets and a discount rate applied to the potential payments. Potential payments for SES, which range between $0.0 and $25.0, are measured between the period commencing July 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2028 based on the attainment of certain earnings targets. The earn-out period for BIG ended December 31, 2022, and we disbursed payment during the second quarter of 2023. In connection with the Howden acquisition, Chart assumed a deferred consideration liability of $1.2 and an earn-out provision of $1.7, in relation to Howden’s acquisition of Maintenance Partners NV (“MP”) on April 30, 2021. The earn-out period for MP ended April 30, 2023, a nd we disbursed payment during the first week of July 2023. Valuations are performed using Level 3 inputs as defined in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are evaluated on a quarterly basis based on forecasted sales and earnings targets. Contingent consideration liabilities are classified as other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration, including accretion, are recorded as selling, general, and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The following table represents the changes to our contingent consideration liabilities:
| SES |  | BIG |  | MP |  | Total
Balance at December 31, 2022 | $ | 16.3 |  |  | $ | 1.0 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 17.3 |
(Decrease) increase in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities (1) (2) | (7.0) |  |  | 0.7 |  |  | (0.2) |  |  | (6.5) |
Acquired contingent consideration liabilities | — |  |  | — |  |  | 2.9 |  |  | 2.9 |
Payment of contingent consideration | — |  |  | (1.7) |  |  | — |  |  | (1.7) |
Balance at June 30, 2023 | $ | 9.3 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 2.7 |  |  | $ | 12.0 |
_______________ (1)For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the fair value of contingent consideration related to SES increased by $0.4 (decreased $0.3 for the three months ended June 30, 2022). For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the fair value of contingent consideration related to SES decreased by $7.0 (decreased by $0.8 during the six months ended June 30, 2022). The decrease in estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to SES during the current period was due to the lower probability of achieving technical milestones within the agreed upon time. (2)For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the fair value of contingent consideration related to BIG decreased by $0.7 (increased by $0.1 for the three months ended June 30, 2022). For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the fair value of contingent consideration related to BIG increased by $0.7 (decreased by $0.2 during the six months ended June 30, 2022). In connection with the Earthly Labs acquisition, Chart will pay to the sellers a royalty on sales of carbon capture units for residential use launched for sale to the public by Chart in an amount equal to 4% of such sales. Potential royalty payments shall be paid to the sellers during the three year period following Chart’s launch of this product. This product has not yet been developed and as such, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability that arises from this arrangement was insignificant as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
