Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Adient have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Adient for the interim periods presented. Certain figures for comparative periods were regrouped to conform to current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidations | Principles of Consolidation Adient consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries and those entities in which it has a controlling interest. Investments in partially-owned affiliates are accounted for by the equity method when Adient's interest exceeds 20% and does not have a controlling interest.
Consolidated VIEs | Consolidated VIEs Based upon the criteria set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, "Consolidation," Adient has determined that it was the primary beneficiary in two variable interest entities (VIEs) for the reporting periods ended March 31, 2024, and September 30, 2023, as Adient absorbs significant economics of the entities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities. The two VIEs manufacture seating products in North America for the automotive industry. Adient funds the entities' short-term liquidity needs through revolving credit facilities and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities through its key customer supply relationships.
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements Standards Adopted During Fiscal 2024 On October 1, 2023, Adient adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASU) 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which requires disclosures of key terms of Adient's material supplier finance program. Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Financing Arrangements," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information. Standards Effective After Fiscal 2024 Adient has considered the new standards that are summarized below, each to be effective after fiscal 2024:
Standard to be Adopted |  | Description |  | Date Effective
ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures |  | The ASU requires additional disclosures on significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”). The ASU also requires additional disclosures of an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. |  | October 1, 2024
ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. |  | The ASU requires disclosure of additional details about the reporting entity's reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The ASU also requires further disaggregation of income tax amounts paid by federal, state and foreign, as well as by material jurisdiction. |  | October 1, 2025
Standard to be Adopted |  | Description |  | Date Effective
SEC Climate Disclosure Rules Final Rule 33-11275 |  | In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule surrounding disclosures of the impacts and risks of climate-related matters that have a material impact on Adient's operations and consolidated financial statements. These disclosures would be required in annual reports and registration statements and would discuss Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions along with other climate-related information such as severe weather events and other natural conditions. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the climate disclosure rules pending judicial review. Adient is monitoring the outcome and evaluating the impact of these rules on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |  | October 1, 2025 (under final rules which are now stayed)
