Operating Units [Abstract] |
Operating Units | Operating Units. Investment Our Investment segment is comprised of various private investment funds, including Icahn Partners L.P. ("Icahn Partners") and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP ("Master Fund") (collectively, the "Investment Funds"), through which we invest our proprietary capital. We and certain of Mr. Icahn's wholly owned affiliates are the sole investors in the Investment Funds. Icahn Onshore LP and Icahn Offshore LP (together, the "General Partners") act as the general partner of Icahn Partners and the Master Fund, respectively. The General Partners provide investment advisory and certain administrative and back office services to the Investment Funds but do not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Interests in the Investment Funds are not offered to outside investors. We had interests in the Investment Funds with a fair value of approximately $4.5 billion and $4.3 billion as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Automotive We conduct our Automotive segment through our majority ownership in Federal-Mogul. Federal-Mogul is a leading global supplier of a broad range of components, accessories and systems to the automotive, small engine, heavy-duty, marine, railroad, agricultural, off-road, aerospace and energy, industrial and transport markets, including customers in both the original equipment manufacturers and servicers (“OE”) market and the replacement market (“aftermarket”). Federal-Mogul’s customers include the world’s largest automotive OEs and major distributors and retailers in the independent aftermarket. Federal-Mogul operates with two end-customer focused business segments. The Powertrain business unit focuses on original equipment products for automotive, heavy duty and industrial applications. The Motorparts business unit sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the global aftermarket, while also serving original equipment manufacturers with products including braking, chassis, wipers and other vehicle components. This organizational model allows for a strong product line focus benefitting both original equipment and aftermarket customers and enables the global Federal-Mogul teams to be responsive to customers’ needs for superior products and to promote greater identification with Federal-Mogul premium brands. Additionally, this organizational model enhances management focus to capitalize on opportunities for organic and acquisition growth, profit improvement, resource utilization and business model optimization in line with the unique requirements of the two different customer bases. Reorganization On September 3, 2014, Federal-Mogul announced its plan to separate its Powertrain and Motorparts businesses into two independent, publicly-traded companies serving the global original equipment and aftermarket industries. The planned separation will be implemented through a tax-free distribution of Federal-Mogul’s Motorparts business to shareholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including among others, Federal-Mogul’s receipt of an IRS ruling or opinion of counsel to the effect that the distribution will qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. Federal Income tax purposes, as well as effectiveness of a Form 10 Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC. On February 24, 2015, Federal-Mogul announced that it would defer the previously announced spin-off of its Motorparts business to allow for the integration of its recently completed brake component, chassis and valvetrain acquisitions and to recognize the benefits of the strategic initiatives in the Motorparts business. As a result of the deferral and the recent closing of the acquisition of TRW's (as defined below) valvetrain business, Federal-Mogul commenced a common stock rights offering to strengthen its balance sheet. See below for further information regarding this rights offering. Federal-Mogul's board of directors intends to revisit the timing of the spin-off prior to the end of December 31, 2015. Meanwhile Federal-Mogul will continue to operate as two separate, independent businesses. No assurances can be given regarding the ultimate timing of the separation or that it will be consummated. Acquisition On February 6, 2015, certain subsidiaries of Federal-Mogul finalized an agreement with TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. ("TRW") to purchase certain business assets of the TRW engine components business. The business was acquired through a combination of asset and stock purchases for a base purchase price of $313 million with $6 million of consideration to be payable upon certain conditions being met. The purchase price was funded primarily from the Federal-Mogul Replacement Revolving Facility (as defined herein) and is subject to certain customary closing and post-closing adjustments. The purchase of TRW’s engine valve business adds a new product line to Federal-Mogul's portfolio, strengthens its position as a leading developer and supplier of core components for engines, and enhances its ability to support its customers to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. A preliminary valuation of the net assets of the TRW engine components business acquisition resulted in $199 million allocated to tangible net assets, $51 million to goodwill and $69 million to other identified intangible assets as of the acquisition date. Because our Automotive segment is in the process of finalizing certain customary post-closing adjustments, the provisional measurements of net assets are subject to change. The valuation of net assets was performed utilizing cost, income and market approaches. The TRW engine components business acquisition is not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Agreement to Acquire Uni-Select, Inc. As previously disclosed, on February 9, 2015, Icahn Enterprises entered into a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the auto parts assets in the United States of Uni-Select, Inc. ("Uni-Select USA"), a leading automotive parts distributor for domestic and imported vehicles, for a purchase price of $340 million, subject to customary closing conditions. The acquisition of Uni-Select USA is currently expected to close during the second quarter of 2015. Uni-Select USA has 39 distribution centers and satellite locations and 240 corporate-owned jobber stores in the United States and supports a network of more than 2,000 independent wholesalers. Through its banner and technical support programs as well as its offering of premium auto parts, Uni-Select USA has built its reputation on being the partner of choice for independent entrepreneurs eager to tap into the strength of large network. Uni-Select USA will be operated independently of Federal-Mogul and will be reported as part of our Automotive segment. Rights Offering On March 26, 2015, Federal-Mogul received $250 million in connection with its previously announced common stock registered rights offering (the “Federal-Mogul Rights Offering”). In connection with the Federal-Mogul Rights Offering, we fully exercised our subscription rights under our basic and over subscription privileges to purchase additional shares of Federal-Mogul common stock, thereby increasing our ownership of Federal-Mogul, for an aggregate additional investment of $230 million. As of March 31, 2015, we owned approximately 82.0% of the total outstanding common stock of Federal-Mogul. Accounts Receivable, net Federal-Mogul's subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy and the United States are party to accounts receivable factoring and securitization facilities. Gross accounts receivable transferred under these facilities were $326 million and $306 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Of those gross amounts, $308 million and $293 million, respectively, qualify as sales as defined in FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. The remaining transferred receivables were pledged as collateral and accounted for as secured borrowings and recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets within accounts receivable, net and debt. Under the terms of these facilities, Federal-Mogul is not obligated to draw cash immediately upon the transfer of accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Federal-Mogul had withdrawn cash related to such transferred receivables of $2 million and $2 million, respectively. Proceeds from the transfers of accounts receivable qualifying as sales were $390 million and $410 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, expenses associated with transfers of receivables were $2 million and $2 million, respectively. Such expenses were recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations within other (loss) income, net. Where Federal-Mogul receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not incurred as a result of such activities. Certain of the facilities contain terms that require Federal-Mogul to share in the credit risk of the sold receivables. The maximum exposure to Federal-Mogul associated with certain of these facilities' terms were $19 million and $17 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Based on Federal-Mogul's analysis of the creditworthiness of its customers on which such receivables were sold and outstanding as of both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Federal-Mogul estimated the loss to be immaterial. Restructuring During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, Federal-Mogul recorded $12 million and $8 million, respectively, in restructuring charges. These restructuring charges, primarily consisting of employee costs and headcount reductions, pertain to all restructuring programs that Federal-Mogul has initiated in order to improve its operating performance. Federal-Mogul has approved and initiated restructuring activities as a part of a broader initiative to improve operating performance and reduce costs. The total expected cost for the certain restructuring programs that commenced in the first quarter of 2013 and have continued through the first quarter of 2015 is $142 million, of which $133 million pertains to employee costs and $9 million pertains to facility closure and other exit costs. In connection with these restructuring programs, Federal-Mogul recorded $10 million and $4 million in charges for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, substantially all of which pertain to employee costs, with an estimated future additional restructuring cost of $11 million, all of which pertain to employee costs.
