2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
On January 16, 2018, Adient announced it will form a joint venture with The Boeing Company ("Boeing") called Adient Aerospace, LLC ("Adient Aerospace"). Adient's ownership position in Adient Aerospace will be 50.01%. Adient Aerospace will develop, manufacture, and sell a portfolio of seating products to airlines and aircraft leasing companies for installations on Boeing and other OEM commercial airplanes, for both production line-fit and retrofit configurations. Adient Aerospace's results will be included within the Seating segment. On September 22, 2017, Adient completed the acquisition of Futuris Global Holdings LLC ("Futuris"), a manufacturer of full seating systems, seat frames, seat trim, headrests, armrests and seat bolsters. The acquisition is expected to provide substantial synergies through vertical integration, purchasing and logistics improvements. The acquisition also provided for an immediate manufacturing presence on the west coast of the U.S. to service customers such as Tesla as well as strategic locations in China and Southeast Asia. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, Adient updated the Futuris purchase price allocation to adjust inventory, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and other liabilities as of the acquisition date for revised estimates based on an updated valuation. This measurement period adjustment was an increase to goodwill of $4 million, with corresponding adjustments to inventory, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other liabilities. This measurement period adjustment is also reflected in the goodwill table in Note 4 , "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". As a result of the Futuris acquisition, consolidated Adient results include $120 million of net sales and an immaterial impact on net income in the three months ended December 31, 2017. The purchase price allocation is based on preliminary valuations to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date and is subject to final adjustments. Pro forma historical results of operations related to the acquisition of Futuris have not been presented as they are not material to Adient’s consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the Guangzhou Adient Automotive Seating Co., Ltd. ("GAAS") consolidation in July 2017, consolidated Adient results include $89 million of net sales and an immaterial impact on net income in the three months ended December 31, 2017. The purchase price allocation is based on preliminary valuations to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date and is subject to final adjustments. Pro forma historical results of operations related to the consolidation of GAAS have not been presented as they are not material to Adient’s consolidated statements of operations.
