Operating Units [Abstract] |
Operating Units | Operating Units. Investment Our Investment segment is comprised of various private investment funds, including Icahn Partners L.P. and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP (together, 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 L.P. and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, 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 $1.7 billion and $3.4 billion as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Automotive We conduct our Automotive segment through our wholly owned subsidiaries Federal-Mogul, IEH Auto Parts Holding LLC ("IEH Auto"), effective June 1, 2015, and Pep Boys, effective February 3, 2016. Prior to January 23, 2017, as discussed below, Federal-Mogul was a majority owned subsidiary of ours with publicly traded common stock. As of December 31, 2016, we owned approximately 82.0% of the outstanding common stock of 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 businesses. 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. Pep Boys has 804 locations in the automotive aftermarket industry located throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Pep Boys stores are organized into a hub and spoke network consisting of Supercenters and Service & Tire Centers. Supercenters average approximately 20,000 square feet and combine a parts and accessories store with professional service centers that perform a full range of automotive maintenance and repair services. Most of the Pep Boys Supercenters also have a commercial sales program that provides prompt delivery of parts, tires and equipment to automotive repair shops and dealers. Service & Tire Centers, which average approximately 6,000 square feet, provide automotive maintenance and repair services in neighborhood locations that are conveniently located where our customers live or work. IEH Auto has 21 distribution centers and 288 corporate-owned 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, IEH Auto has built its reputation on being the partner of choice for independent entrepreneurs eager to tap into the strength of large network. Pep Boys and IEH Auto are being operated together under their parent company and wholly owned subsidiary of ours, IEP Auto Holdings LLC, in order to grow their sales to do-it-for-me ("DIFM") distributors and DIFM service professionals, to grow their automotive service business, and to maintain their do-it-yourself customer bases by offering the newest and broadest product assortment in the automotive aftermarket. In addition, Federal-Mogul is operated independently from Pep Boys and IEH Auto. Transactions among Federal-Mogul, Pep Boys and IEH Auto have been eliminated in consolidation. Federal-Mogul 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. Federal-Mogul Tender Offer On September 6, 2016, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Federal-Mogul pursuant to which, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, we commenced a cash tender offer (the "Federal-Mogul Tender Offer") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Federal-Mogul’s common stock not already owned by us for a purchase price of $9.25 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any applicable tax withholding. The Federal-Mogul Tender Offer was subsequently extended to January 18, 2017 and the purchase price per share was subsequently increased to $10.00 per share. See Note 18, "Subsequent Events," for further discussion. Accounts Receivable, net Federal-Mogul's subsidiaries in Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and the United States are party to accounts receivable factoring and securitization facilities. Gross accounts receivable transferred under these facilities were $487 million and $408 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Of those gross amounts, $485 million and $401 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 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 December 31, 2016 and 2015, Federal-Mogul had withdrawn cash related to such transferred receivables of zero and $1 million, respectively. Proceeds from the transfers of accounts receivable qualifying as sales were approximately $1.6 billion, $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, expenses associated with transfers of receivables were $12 million $9 million and $6 million, respectively, and were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within other income (loss), 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 recorded as a result of such activities. Federal-Mogul Restructuring During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, Federal-Mogul recorded an aggregate of $27 million $89 million and $86 million in restructuring charges, respectively. 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. As such, Federal-Mogul will continue to evaluate its activities and opportunities to align its business with its executive management's strategy. Restructuring expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily related to Europe, Middle East and Africa locations aimed at optimizing Federal-Mogul's cost structures. Federal-Mogul expects to complete these programs in 2017 and does not expect to incur any additional restructuring related to these programs. For programs previously initiated in prior periods, Federal-Mogul expects to complete the majority of these programs in 2018 and does not expect to incur any additional restructuring charges related to these programs. Energy We conduct our Energy segment through our majority ownership in CVR. CVR is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing industries through its holdings in CVR Refining ("CVR Refining") and CVR Partners, respectively. CVR Refining is an independent petroleum refiner and marketer of high value transportation fuels. CVR Partners produces and markets nitrogen fertilizers in the form of urea ammonium nitrate ("UAN") and ammonia. As of December 31, 2016, CVR owned 100% of the general partners of CVR Refining and CVR Partners and approximately 66% of the common units of CVR Refining and approximately 34% of the common units of CVR Partners. As of December 31, 2016, we owned approximately 82.0% of the total outstanding common stock of CVR. In addition, as of December 31, 2016, we owned approximately 3.9% of the total outstanding common units of CVR Refining directly. CVR Refining Call Right On August 2, 2016, we sold 250,000 common units of CVR Refining. As a result of this transaction, we and our affiliates collectively own 69.99% of CVR. Pursuant to CVR Refining’s partnership agreement, in certain circumstances, the general partner of CVR Refining has the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of CVR Refining common units held by unaffiliated unit holders at a price not less than their then-current market price, as calculated pursuant to the terms of such partnership agreement (the “Call Right”). Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, because our holdings were reduced to less than 70.0%, the ownership threshold for the application of such Call Right was permanently reduced from 95% to 80%. Accordingly, if at any time the general partner of CVR Refining and its affiliates owns more than 80% of CVR Refining common units, it will have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise such Call Right. CVR Refining Equity Offerings On January 23, 2013, CVR Refining completed its initial public offering of its common units representing limited partner interests. On June 30, 2014, CVR Refining completed an underwritten offering (the “CVR Refining Follow-on Offering”), resulting in gross proceeds of $170 million before giving effect to underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. On July 24, 2014, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase additional common units of CVR Refining, resulting in gross proceeds of $15 million. CVR Refining used this $15 million in gross proceeds to redeem an equal amount of common units from CVR Refining. Additionally, on July 24, 2014, CVR Refining sold common units to the public in connection with the underwriters' exercise of their remaining option to purchase additional common units, resulting in gross proceeds of $10 million. As a result of the CVR Refining Follow-on Offering during 2014, our consolidated equity increased by an aggregate of $160 million, of which $150 million was attributable to non-affiliated non-controlling interests and $10 million was attributable to us. These offerings are reflected in proceeds from subsidiary equity offering within the consolidated statement of equity changes. Railcar We conduct our Railcar segment through our majority ownership interests in ARI and our wholly owned subsidiary ARL. As discussed in Note 1, "Description of Business and Basis of Presentation - Agreement to Sell ARL," the ARL Initial Sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017. Additionally, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the transaction meets the criteria for classification as held for sale as of December 31, 2016 however, the transaction does not qualify for presentation and disclosure as a discontinued operation and therefore, continues to be classified within continuing operations in our consolidated financial statements until the closing of the ARL Initial Sale. ARI manufactures railcars that are offered for sale or lease, custom and standard railcar components and other industrial products, primarily aluminum and special alloy steel castings. These products are sold to various types of companies including shippers, leasing companies, industrial companies, and Class I railroads. ARI leases railcars that it manufactures to certain markets. ARI provides railcar services consisting of railcar repair services, ranging from full to light repair, engineering and on-site repairs and maintenance through its various repair facilities, including mini repair shops and mobile repair units. ARL is engaged in the business of leasing railcars to customers with specific requirements whose products require specialized railcars dedicated to transporting, storing, and preserving the integrity of their products. These products are primarily in the chemical, mineral, petrochemical, food and agriculture, and energy industries. Transactions between ARI and ARL have been eliminated in consolidation. As of December 31, 2016, we owned approximately 62.2% of the total outstanding common stock of ARI. Gaming We conduct our Gaming segment through our majority ownership in Tropicana and our wholly owned subsidiary, TER, which owns and operates the Trump Taj Mahal. The Trump Taj Mahal closed and ceased its casino and hotel operations on October 10, 2016. As discussed below, we obtained control and began consolidating the results of TER upon its emergence from bankruptcy on February 26, 2016. Tropicana owns and operates a diversified, multi-jurisdictional collection of casino gaming properties. The eight casino facilities it operates feature approximately 392,000 square feet of gaming space with 7,900 slot machines, 300 table games and 5,500 hotel rooms with two casino facilities located in Nevada and one in each of Mississippi, Missouri, Indiana, Louisiana, New Jersey and Aruba.

As of December 31, 2016, we owned approximately 72.5% of the total outstanding common stock of Tropicana. Metals We conduct our Metals segment through our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, PSC Metals, Inc. (“PSC Metals”). PSC Metals collects industrial and obsolete scrap metal, processes it into reusable forms and supplies the recycled metals to its customers, including electric-arc furnace mills, integrated steel mills, foundries, secondary smelters and metals brokers. PSC Metals' ferrous products include busheling, plate and structural, shredded, sheared and bundled scrap metal and other purchased scrap metal such as turnings (steel machining fragments), cast furnace iron and broken furnace iron. PSC Metals processes the scrap into a size, density and purity required by customers to meet their production needs. PSC Metals also processes non-ferrous metals, including aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel and nickel-bearing metals. Non-ferrous products are a significant raw material in the production of aluminum and copper alloys used in manufacturing. PSC Metals also operates a steel products business that includes the supply of secondary plate and structural grade pipe that is sold into niche markets for counterweights, piling and foundations, construction materials and infrastructure end-markets. Mining We conduct our Mining segment through our majority ownership in Ferrous Resources. We obtained control of and consolidated the results of Ferrous Resources during the second quarter of 2015. Ferrous Resources acquired certain rights to iron ore mineral resources in Brazil and develops mining operations and related infrastructure to produce and sell iron ore products to the global steel industry. Ferrous Resources has acquired significant iron ore assets in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, known as Viga, Viga Norte, Esperança, Serrinha and Santanense. In addition, Ferrous Resources has acquired certain mineral rights near Jacuípe in the State of Bahia, Brazil. Of the assets acquired, Viga, Esperança and Santanense are already extracting and producing iron ore, while the other assets are at an early stage of exploration. In response to the depressed iron ore price environment, Ferrous Resources decided to temporarily suspend Esperança's and Santanense's operations in the first quarter of 2015 in order to study alternatives to further reduce cost of production and improve product quality and therefore to improve profitability and margin per metric ton. As of December 31, 2016, we owned approximately 77.2% of the total outstanding common stock of Ferrous Resources. Food Packaging We conduct our Food Packaging segment through our majority ownership in Viskase Companies, Inc. ("Viskase").
