Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is measured based on an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on a market valuation approach using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tiered fair value hierarchy is established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable, either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The following table summarizes the valuation of our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

(1)Short-term investments are primarily comprised of money market funds and highly liquid, low risk investments with initial maturities less than 90 days. European Major Domestic Appliance Business Held for Sale On January 16, 2023, the Company entered into a contribution agreement with Arçelik A.Ş (“Arcelik”). Under the terms of the agreement, Whirlpool will contribute its European major domestic appliance business, and Arcelik will contribute its European major domestic appliance, consumer electronics, air conditioning, and small domestic appliance businesses into the newly formed entity of which Whirlpool will own 25% and Arcelik 75%. On December 20, 2022, the Company's board authorized the transaction with Arcelik and the European major domestic appliance business was classified as held for sale during the fourth quarter of 2022. The disposal group was measured at fair value less cost to sell. We used a discounted cash flow analysis and multiple market data points in our analysis to determine fair value (Level 3 input) of the 25% interest retained, resulting in an estimated fair value of $143 million. The discounted cash flow analysis utilized a discount rate of 16.5%. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded an increase of $222 million to the loss on sale and disposal of businesses. The adjustment reflects ongoing reassessment of the fair value less costs to sell of the disposal group and transaction costs and will continue to be evaluated each reporting period until completion of the transaction. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information. InSinkErator Acquisition On October 31, 2022, we completed the acquisition of the InSinkErator business pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement with Emerson. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. This requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company is in the process of finalizing third-party valuations for the purchase price allocation which are subject to change. The estimated value of property, plant and equipment included adjustments totaling $36 million to increase the net book value to the preliminary fair value estimate of $174 million. The fair value of property, plant and equipment was determined using both a cost and market approach. The model used primarily included Level 2 and 3 inputs. This estimate is based on other comparable acquisitions and historical experience, and preliminary expectations as to the duration of time we expect to realize benefits from those assets. The estimated value of inventory included adjustments totaling $10 million to step-up inventory to an estimated fair value of $93 million. The fair value of inventory was estimated using the comparative sales method. The model used primarily included Level 2 and 3 inputs. To estimate the fair value of inventory, we considered the components of InSinkErator’s inventory, as well as estimates of selling prices and selling and distribution costs that were based on InSinkErator’s historical experience. The estimated fair values of identifiable intangible assets acquired were prepared using an income valuation approach, which requires a forecast of expected future revenues, future cash flows and discount rates (Level 3 inputs), either through the use of the relief-from-royalty method, the multi-period excess earnings method or the with and without method. During the first quarter of 2023, Whirlpool finalized the total consideration paid for the InSinkErator business and processed applicable measurement period adjustments. The purchase accounting adjustments during the period were not material. The Company expects to finalize any further purchase accounting adjustments as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information. Other Fair Value Measurements The fair value of long-term debt (including current maturities) was $7.2 billion and $7.0 billion at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and was estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements (Level 2 input).
