On March 17, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Howden, a leading global provider of mission critical air and gas handling products and services, from affiliates of KPS Capital Partners, LP. Results of operations include results of Howden from the date of acquisition and exclude Roots™ business financial results for our entire ownership period of March 17, 2023 through the divestiture date, August 18, 2023. The results of Roots™ are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss) and have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for the year ended December 31, 2023. Furthermore, in 2023 we closed the sale of our American Fan, Cryo Diffusion and Cofimco fans businesses.
