Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Preparation | Basis of Preparation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Chart Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (herein referred to as the “Company,” “Chart,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. Nature of Operations: We are a global leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of process technologies and equipment for gas and liquid molecule handling for the Nexus of Clean™ - clean power, clean water, clean food, and clean industrials, regardless of molecule. The company’s unique product and solution portfolio across stationary and rotating equipment is used in every phase of the liquid gas supply chain, including engineering, service and repair and from installation to preventive maintenance and digital monitoring.

Chart is committed to excellence in environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues both for our company as well as our customers. With 64 global manufacturing locations and over 50 service centers from the United States to Asia, India, Europe and South America, we maintain accountability and transparency to our team members, suppliers, customers and communities. Proposed Merger with Baker Hughes Company: On July 28, 2025, Chart Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Chart”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Baker Hughes Company, a Delaware corporation (“Baker Hughes”), and Tango Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Baker Hughes (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by Chart’s board of directors (the “Chart Board”) after the Chart Board determined that the proposal received from Baker Hughes constituted a “Superior Chart Proposal” under the terms of its merger agreement with Flowserve. On October 6, 2025, Chart’s stockholders approved the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions described therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Chart (the “Merger”), with Chart continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Baker Hughes. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock of Chart, par value $0.01 per share (“Chart Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares held by Chart or its subsidiaries as treasury stock or otherwise, (ii) shares held by Baker Hughes or its subsidiaries, and (iii) shares as to which appraisal rights have been properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law) will be converted automatically into the right to receive $210.00 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest and subject to any applicable withholding tax. If any shares of Chart’s 6.75% Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Chart Preferred Stock”), remain outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Agreement provides that the parties will amend the Merger Agreement, if necessary, to give effect to the treatment of such shares as mutually agreed upon by the parties (subject to compliance with the terms of the Chart Preferred Stock). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each equity award of Chart granted under its equity plans or otherwise that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be treated as follows: (i) each outstanding option to purchase shares of Chart Common Stock, whether vested or unvested, that has an exercise price per share less than the Merger Consideration will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (x) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per-share exercise price of such option and (y) the number of shares subject to the option, and any stock option with an exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration will be cancelled for no consideration; (ii) each outstanding restricted stock unit granted prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the number of shares of Chart Common Stock underlying such award; and (iii) each outstanding performance stock unit (“PSU”) will vest as to a pro-rata portion of the award based on the portion of the performance period elapsed prior to the Effective Time, with the level of performance deemed to be satisfied at the greater of (x) the target level of performance applicable to such PSU and (y) the actual level of performance achieved as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (as reasonably determined by the Chart Board or the compensation committee thereof), and the vested portion of each PSU will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the Merger Consideration for each vested share. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of each of Chart and Baker Hughes, which, in the case of Chart, are qualified by the confidential disclosures provided to Baker Hughes in connection with the Merger Agreement, as well as matters included in Chart’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the date of the Merger Agreement. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides for customary pre-closing covenants of each of Chart and Baker Hughes, including to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts with respect to seeking regulatory approvals (subject to certain specified limitations), and, in the case of Chart: (i) to conduct its business in the ordinary course (subject to certain exceptions); (ii) to hold a meeting of its stockholders to obtain the requisite stockholder approval contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iii) not to solicit proposals relating to any alternative business combination transactions; and (iv) subject to certain exceptions, not to enter into any discussion concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any such alternative business combination transactions. In addition, with respect to the termination of the Flowserve Merger Agreement (as defined below) and the payment of the Flowserve Termination Payment (as defined below) to Flowserve (as defined below), Baker Hughes was required to pay $258 million of such Flowserve Termination Payment to Flowserve on Chart’s behalf (and Chart was required to pay the remaining $8 million portion thereof), which payments were made during the third quarter of 2025. The completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including (i) the approval by holders of Chart Common Stock of a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement; (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of certain other clearances, approvals and consents under certain applicable foreign antitrust and regulatory laws; (iii) the absence of governmental restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of the Merger; (iv) the representations and warranties of Chart and Baker Hughes being true and correct (subject to certain qualifications); (v) the performance in all material respects by the parties of their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement and (vi) the absence of any effect, change or event that has had a material adverse effect on Chart, subject to certain exceptions. On October 6, 2025, Chart held a special meeting of its stockholders at which holders of Chart Common Stock approved the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. The completion of the Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the parties, including in the event that (i) the parties agree in writing to terminate the Merger Agreement, (ii) if the Merger is not consummated by the initial outside date of July 28, 2026 (as it may be extended, the “Outside Date”), which date will be automatically extended for two successive six-month periods if the only remaining conditions to closing are the receipt of required regulatory approvals, (iii) any legal restraint having the effect of prohibiting the consummation of the Merger shall have become final and nonappealable or (iv) the other party has breached its representations, warranties or covenants in the Merger Agreement, subject to certain qualifications. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including by Baker Hughes due to a material breach by Chart or by either Chart or Baker Hughes because the Merger is not consummated by the Outside Date, in each case at a time when there was an offer or proposal for an alternative transaction with Chart prior to such termination and Chart enters into or consummates an alternative transaction within twelve (12) months following such date of termination, Chart will be required to pay to Baker Hughes a termination fee equal to $250 million in cash. In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances where such termination fee becomes payable by Chart, Chart will also be required to reimburse Baker Hughes for the portion of the Flowserve Termination Payment that Baker Hughes paid on Chart’s behalf in connection with the termination of the Flowserve Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances related to the failure to obtain required antitrust or foreign investment law approvals, Baker Hughes shall pay to Chart a reverse termination fee equal to $500 million in cash. Termination of Merger Agreement with Flowserve Corporation: As previously disclosed, on June 3, 2025, Chart entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Flowserve Corporation, a New York corporation (“Flowserve”), Big Sur Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Flowserve, and Napa Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Flowserve (the “Flowserve Merger Agreement”). On July 28, 2025, prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, Chart, Flowserve, Big Sur Merger Sub, Inc., and Napa Merger Sub LLC entered into a Termination Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the Flowserve Merger Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, a termination payment of $266 million (the “Flowserve Termination Payment”) was paid in cash to Flowserve (of which, as noted above, $258 million was paid by Baker Hughes on Chart’s behalf and $8 million was paid by Chart). The Flowserve Termination Payment consists of the $250 million termination fee that is required to be paid to Flowserve under the Flowserve Merger Agreement plus an additional agreed upon amount of $16 million to reimburse Flowserve for certain expenses. In accordance with the Termination Agreement, Chart had an obligation to pay Flowserve $266 million. Of this amount, $258 million was paid by Baker Hughes on Chart’s behalf, and $8 million was paid directly by Chart as previously mentioned. As a result, we recorded $266 million to termination fee expense within our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025. We recorded a corresponding liability of $258 million for termination fee paid by Baker Hughes Company within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025. In addition, the Termination Agreement provides for a mutual release of all claims related to or arising out of the Flowserve Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, as well as a letter of intent between Chart and Flowserve to amend an existing supply agreement between them (or their affiliates) to extend the term and to expand the coverage thereof to include certain additional products of Flowserve during such term. Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Chart Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates: The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions based on a number of factors including the current macroeconomic conditions such as inflation and supply chain disruptions, as well as risks set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Not Yet Adopted): In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)”, which provides guidance to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The guidance removes references to project stages throughout ASC 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. Additionally, the guidance specifies that the property, plant and equipment disclosure requirements under ASC 360-10 apply to capitalized software costs accounted for under ASC 350-40, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”, which introduces a practical expedient for the application of the current expected credit loss model to current accounts receivable and contract assets. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which is intended to improve expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments in this update enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This update enhances the rate reconciliation by requiring an entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The update also requires an entity to disclose on an annual basis enhanced information about income taxes paid, income from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our disclosures and do not expect a material impact.
