Independent Auditors’ Report

 

The Board of Directors

ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd:

 

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of the Dodge Mechanical Power Transmission Business (the “Business”) of ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd, which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related combined statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the combined financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these combined financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

 

 

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Dodge Mechanical Power Transmission Business of ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the combined financial statements, the Dodge Mechanical Power Transmission Business has not operated as a stand-alone entity. These combined financial statements are prepared on a carve-out basis and have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of ABB Ltd, and are therefore not necessarily indicative of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows had the Business operated as an independent company during the periods presented or of future performance of the Business. Our opinion is not modified in respect to this matter.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

 

Note 1—Description of the Business

 

The accompanying Combined Financial Statements and Notes present the combined statements of Income, financial position, and cash flows of the Dodge mechanical power transmission business (“MOPT”, “Business”, “we”, “us”, “our”) of ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd.

 

In November 2020, ABB Ltd (“ABB” or “Parent”), as the ultimate parent of ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd and MOPT, announced its plans to explore the divestiture of the Business. The Business has designed, manufactured and marketed mechanical power transmission products for over 140 years and provides industry leading products and services to a global customer base. Further, the Business offers a diverse line of mounted bearing, enclosed gearing and power transmission (“PT”) component products.

 

Note 2—Significant accounting policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these Combined Financial Statements.

 

Basis of presentation and principles of combination

 

These Combined Financial Statements have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of ABB. These Combined Financial Statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Business for the periods presented as historically managed within ABB in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) based on a going concern assumption and are presented in United States dollars ($ or USD) unless otherwise stated. The Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of the Business’ future performance and do not necessarily reflect what the results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had it operated as an independent business during the periods presented.

 

The Combined Financial Statements of the Business are prepared on a carve-out basis from financial information of the Parent. The operations of the Business are consistent with the components of the Parent which are planned to be divested. All amounts presented relate to companies or the relevant portions of companies which are directly controlled by the Parent and all intercompany accounts within the Business and transactions within the Business are eliminated. Intercompany transactions between us and the Parent are deemed to have been settled immediately through Parent company investment. Refer to Note 3 for additional information.

 

External debt, including any interest expense, associated with the debt of the Parent which is not directly attributable to the Business has been excluded from the Combined Financial Statements of the Business. The equity of the Business represents the net investment of the Parent in the Business. The Parent’s historical retained earnings related to the Business are included within “Parent company investment.”

 

Current and deferred income taxes have been determined based on the stand-alone results of MOPT. However, because the Business has prepared and filed its tax returns as part of ABB’s tax group in certain jurisdictions, the Business’ actual tax balances may differ from those reported.

 

These Combined Financial Statements have been prepared with facts and circumstances that were known through September 13, 2021 and considered subsequent events through September 13, 2021. See Note 13 for additional information.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

  

Cost allocations

 

These Combined Financial Statements include general corporate expenses and shared expenses of the Parent that were historically incurred by or charged to the Business for certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis, such as expenses related to information technology, finance and controlling, intellectual property, digital, communications, human resources, sales and marketing, health and safety and country management activities. These expenses are included in the Combined Statements of Income within “Cost of sales,” “Selling, general and administrative expenses,” and “Non-order related research and development expenses.” These expenses have been allocated to the Business on the basis of direct usage, FTEs, square footage, or other measures that are utilized by the Parent for purposes of its consolidated financial statements.

 

These Combined Financial Statements may not reflect the actual expenses that would have been incurred and may not reflect the Business’ combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had it been a standalone business during the period presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Business had been a standalone business would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure, capital structure, and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. Going forward, the Business may perform these functions using its own resources or outsourced services.

 

The following table reflects these allocations as described above:

 

($ in thousands)		2020				2019
Cost of sales			15,638				21,472
Selling, general and administrative expenses			31,597				36,600
Non-order related research and development expenses			599				1,437
Total			47,834				59,509

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Combined Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. These accounting assumptions and estimates include:

 

-

growth rates, discount rates and other assumptions used in testing goodwill for impairment,

 

-

estimates to determine valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and amounts recorded for unrecognized tax benefits,

 

-

assumptions used in determining inventory obsolescence and net realizable value,

 

-

assumptions used in the determination of corporate costs attributable to the Business,

 

-

estimates of loss contingencies associated with, product warranties

 

-

estimates related to credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of financial assets such as trade and other receivables,

 

-

assumptions and projections related to right of return provisions and rebate accruals

 

-

assumptions used in the determination of post-retirement benefit obligations and expenses

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are managed centrally by the Parent. Cash and cash equivalents have not been recorded on an allocated basis to the Business for the periods presented. As such, no cash and cash equivalents have been presented within the Combined Balance Sheets of the Business. Transfers of cash and cash equivalents between the Business and the Parent have been presented as a component of the change in parent investment as a financing activity in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

 

Accounts receivable and allowance for expected credit losses

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Parent has a groupwide policy on the management of credit risk. The policy includes a credit assessment methodology to assess the creditworthiness of customers and assign to those customers a risk category. Third-party agencies’ ratings are considered, if available. For customers where agency ratings are not available, the customer’s most recent financial statements, payment history and other relevant information are considered in the assignment to a risk category. Customers are assessed at least annually or more frequently when information on significant changes in the customers’ financial position becomes known. In addition to the assignment to a risk category, a credit limit per customer is set.

 

The Business recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses to present the net amount of receivables expected to be collected as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the asset’s contractual term taking into account historical loss experience, customer-specific data as well as forward looking estimates. Receivables are grouped in pools based on similar risk characteristics to estimate expected credit losses. Expected credit losses are estimated individually when the related assets do not share similar risk characteristics.

 

Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible and are recognized as a deduction from the allowance for expected credit losses. Expected recoveries, which are not to exceed the amount previously written off, are considered in determining the allowance balance at the balance sheet date.

 

Concentrations of credit risk

 

The Business sells a broad range of mechanical power transmission products to a wide range of industrial, commercial, and OEM customers throughout the world. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited as the Business’ customer base is comprised of a large number of individual customers. Ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial positions are performed; collateral is not generally required. The Business maintains an allowance for expected credit losses as discussed above in “Accounts receivable and allowance for expected credit losses.” Such losses, in the aggregate, are in line with the Business’ expectations.

 

Revenue recognition

 

A customer contract exists if collectability under the contract is considered probable, the contract has commercial substance, contains payment terms, as well as the rights and commitments of both parties, and has been approved.

 

The Business offers arrangements with multiple performance obligations to meet its customers’ needs. These arrangements may involve the delivery of multiple products and/or performance of services (such as installation and training) and the delivery and/or performance may occur at different points in time or over different periods of time. Goods and services under such arrangements are evaluated to determine whether they form distinct performance obligations and should be accounted for as separate revenue transactions. The Business allocates the sales price to each distinct performance obligation based on the price of each item sold in separate transactions at the inception of the arrangement.

 

The Business generally recognizes revenues for the sale of non-customized products including bearings, gearings, PT components and other goods which are manufactured on a standardized basis at a point in time. Revenues are recognized at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the good which is when it has taken title to the products and assumed the risks and rewards of ownership of the products specified in the purchase order or sales agreement. Generally, the transfer of title and risks and rewards of ownership are governed by the contractually defined shipping terms. The Business uses various International Commercial shipping terms (as promulgated by the International Chamber of Commerce) in its sales of products to third party customers, such as Ex Works (“EXW”), Free Carrier (“FCA”) and Delivered Duty Paid (“DDP”).

 

Billing terms for these point in time contracts vary but generally coincide with delivery to the customer. Payment is generally due within 90 days or less upon receipt of the invoice.

 

 

The Dodge Mechanical Power Transmission Business of ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd

 

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

 

Revenues are reported net of distributor rebates, early settlement discounts, and similar incentives. Rebates are estimated based on sales terms, historical experience and trend analysis. The most common incentives relate to amounts paid or credited to customers for achieving defined volume levels. Further, revenues are reported net of customer returns. Customers typically have a right of return for products purchased within the preceding 12 month period and are estimated based on customer return history.

 

The Business provides for anticipated costs for warranties when it recognizes revenues on the related products. Warranty costs include calculated costs arising from imperfections in design, material and workmanship in the Business’ products. The Business makes individual assessments on contracts with risks resulting from order-specific conditions or guarantees and assessments on an overall, statistical basis for similar products sold in larger quantities.

 

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Business and its customers, such as sales, use, value added and some excise taxes, are excluded from revenues.

 

Sales commissions are expensed immediately when the amortization period for the costs to obtain the contract is less than a year.

 

Shipping and handling costs

 

Shipping and handling costs are recorded as a component of cost of sales.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method, the weighted average-cost method, or the specific identification method. Inventoried costs are stated at acquisition cost or actual production cost, including direct material and labor and applicable manufacturing overheads. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value are made, if required, for decreases in sales prices, obsolescence or similar reductions in value.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets that are held and used are assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the asset’s net carrying value exceeds the asset’s net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated over its remaining useful life including net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is determined using a market, income and/or cost approach.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of the assets are generally as follows:

 

Factories and office buildings		30-40 years
Other facilities		15 years
Machinery and equipment		3-15 years
Furniture and office equipment		3-8 years

 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful life or, for operating leases, over the lease term, if shorter.

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets

 

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually as of December 31, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

 

The Dodge Mechanical Power Transmission Business of ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd

 

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

 

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Business consists of one reporting unit for purposes of assessing goodwill for impairment.

 

When evaluating goodwill for impairment, either a qualitative or quantitative assessment method at the reporting unit is used. The qualitative assessment involves determining, based on an evaluation of qualitative factors, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on this qualitative assessment, it is determined to be more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, a quantitative impairment test (described below) is performed, otherwise no further analysis is required. If an election not to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit is made, then a quantitative impairment test is performed.

 

The quantitative impairment test calculates the fair value of a reporting unit (based on the income approach whereby the fair value of a reporting unit is calculated based on the present value of future cash flows) and compares it to the reporting unit’s carrying value. If the carrying value of the net assets of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit then an impairment charge equal to the difference is recognized, provided that the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

 

Amortization of intangibles with definite lives is calculated using the straight-line method, which is reflective of the benefit pattern in which the estimated economic benefit is expected to be received over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset. Intangible assets such as customer relationships, tradenames, and product-related technology assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. The useful lives are as follows:

 

Customer relationships		21 years
Tradename		10 years
Product-related technology		8 years

 

Intangibles subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the fair value of the asset. No impairment was recognized in the historical periods.

 

Product and order-related contingencies

 

The Business calculates its provision for product warranties based on historical claims experience and specific review of certain contracts. The product warranty provision as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $1,052 thousand and $1,923 thousand, respectively.

 

Leases

 

The Business leases consist primarily of real estate.

 

In January 2019, the Business adopted a new lease accounting standard, Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 842, Leases, electing the transition method which permits entities to adopt the provisions of the standard using the modified retrospective approach without adjusting comparative periods. The Business also elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842, which among other things, allowed us to grandfather the historical accounting conclusions until a reassessment event occurs. We have also elected the practical expedient to not recognize short-term leases on the balance sheet and the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for the majority of our underlying classes of assets. In instances where the practical expedient was not elected, lease and non-lease consideration is allocated based on relative standalone selling price.

 

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of Right of use “ROU” assets and lease liabilities of approximately $4,726 thousand and $4,726 thousand, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our combined statements of income, cash flows or equity as a result of adoption.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

 

Prior to the adoption of the new accounting standard, lease transactions where substantially all risks and rewards incident to ownership were transferred from the lessor to the lessee were accounted for as capital leases. All other leases were accounted for as operating leases. The periodic rent expense for operating leases was recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term. Amounts due under capital leases were recorded as a liability. The value of the assets under capital leases were recorded as property, plant and equipment. Depreciation and amortization of assets recorded under capital leases was included in depreciation and amortization expense.

 

Under the new lease accounting standard, the Business evaluates if a contract contains a lease at inception of the contract. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To determine this, the Business assesses whether, throughout the period of use, it has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with the classification determining the pattern of expense recognition in the Combined Statements of Income. Lease expense for operating leases continues to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for finance leases is separated between amortization of the right-of-use assets and lease interest expense.

 

In many cases, the Business’ leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Business’ discretion. Renewal periods are included in the expected lease term if they are reasonably certain of being exercised by the Business. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. None of the Business’ lease agreements contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.

 

Long-term leases (leases with terms greater than 12 months) are recorded in the Combined Balance Sheets at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of the minimum lease payments. The present value of the lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease if available. As most of the Business’ leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Business’ incremental borrowing rate is used for most leases and is determined for portfolios of leases based on the remaining lease term, currency of the lease, and the internal credit rating of the subsidiary which entered into the lease. The Business does not have significant short-term leases (leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less).

 

Assets under operating lease are included in “Operating lease right-of-use assets, net.” Operating lease liabilities are reported both as current and non-current operating lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets represent the Business’ right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

 

Assets under finance lease are included in “Property, plant and equipment, net” while finance lease liabilities are included in “Other current liabilities” and “Non-current finance lease liabilities.”

 

Lease and non-lease components for leases other than real estate are not accounted for separately.

 

Translation of foreign currencies and foreign exchange transactions

 

The functional currency for most of the operations of the Business is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable functional currencies into the reporting currency is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are excluded from the determination of earnings and are recognized directly in “Parent company investment” until the subsidiary is sold, substantially liquidated or evaluated for impairment in anticipation of disposal.

 

Foreign currency exchange gains and losses, such as those resulting from foreign currency denominated receivables or payables, are included in the determination of earnings. Exchange gains and losses recognized in earnings are included in “Revenues,” “Cost of sales” or “Selling, general and administrative expenses” consistent with the nature of the underlying item.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

 

Income taxes

 

The operations of the Business have historically been included in the income tax filings of the ABB Holdings Inc. (“US Parent”). The income tax expense in the Combined Statements of Income is based on a separate return methodology using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, income tax expense reflects income taxes paid or payable (or received or receivable) for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year calculated as if the business was a standalone taxpayer filing hypothetical income tax returns where applicable. Any accrued tax liability or refund arising as a result of this approach is assumed to be immediately settled with the Parent as a component of “Parent company investment.” Deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid, and result from differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax bases of the Business’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when enacted. Deferred taxes are reflected in the Combined Balance Sheets to the extent that such attributes are expected to transfer with the Business upon the separation.

 

The Business uses the asset and liability method to account for deferred taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Business recognizes an income tax benefit when it determines that the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained based upon the deduction’s technical merit. Recognized tax positions are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset against each other and reported on a net basis by tax-paying component. If relevant, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

 

The Business operates in numerous tax jurisdictions and, as a result, is regularly subject to examination by taxing authorities. No liabilities are recorded in the Combined Balance Sheets for unrecognized tax benefits in the Business as all amounts will remain as obligations of the Parent.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development costs not related to specific customer orders are generally expensed as incurred.

 

Contingencies

 

The operations of the Business are subject to proceedings, litigation or threatened litigation and other claims and inquiries, related to environmental, labor, product, regulatory, tax (other than income tax) and other matters, and is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the provision required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analysis of each individual issue, often with assistance from both internal and external legal counsel and technical experts. The required amount of a provision for a contingency of any type may change in the future due to new developments in the particular matter, including changes in the approach to its resolution.

 

The Business records a provision for its contingent obligations when it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Any such provision is generally recognized on an undiscounted basis using the Business’ best estimate of the amount of loss incurred or at the lower end of an estimated range when a single best estimate is not determinable. In some cases, the Business may be able to recover a portion of the costs relating to these obligations from insurers or other third parties; however, the Business records such amounts only when it is probable that they will be collected.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

 

Other Post-retirement Benefit Plans

 

We recognize the post-retirement benefit obligation for certain defined benefit plans associated with retirees of the Business on the Combined Balance Sheets. Actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that have not yet been recognized as part of net periodic benefit cost are recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

 

The calculation of the obligation and expense for other post-retirement benefits is dependent on assumptions selected by actuaries and the Parent. Those assumptions are detailed further in Note 12 and include, among others, the discount rate, mortality and the rates of increases in health care costs. Actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation in future periods. While the Business believes that the assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions may materially affect the other post-retirement obligations and future expense.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

 

Effective January 1, 2020, ABB adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” using the modified retrospective transition method. The guidance requires that for most financial assets, losses be based on an expected loss approach which includes estimates of losses over the life of exposure that considers historical, current and forecasted information. Expanded disclosures related to the methods used to estimate the losses as well as a specific disaggregation of balances for financial assets are also required. The application of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Combined Financial Statements.

 

ASU 2018-14, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirement for Defined Benefit Plans

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” which modifies the defined benefit plan disclosure requirements. Application of the standard is required for annual periods ending after December 15, 2020. The Business adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Business’s Combined Financial Statements.

 

We also adopted the following ASUs during 2020, which did not have a material impact to our financial statements or financial statement disclosures:

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting

 

In March 2020, an accounting standard update was issued which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The update can be adopted and applied no later than December 31, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Business does not expect this update to have a significant impact on its Combined Financial Statements.

 

Impacts of COVID-19

 

On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization designated a new coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic. Governments around the world implemented public health and social measures to slow the transmission of the virus. These initiatives included physical and social distancing measures, as well as domestic and international travel restrictions. These initiatives have had a significant impact on certain businesses and economies, leading to economic uncertainty.

 

The Business has assessed the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, noting incremental costs were incurred during 2020, but were determined to not be significant for further disclosure. Additionally, there was $4,521 thousand receivable for tenant improvements included within current assets in 2019 and 2020. Due to delays driven by COVID-19 during 2020, work was not completed and payment was not received until the first quarter of 2021.

 

Note 3—Transactions with Related Parties

 

Sales to the Parent and purchases from the Parent

 

The Business sells products to other businesses and companies controlled by the Parent. These transactions are executed at prices negotiated between the two parties. During 2020 and 2019, the Business sold products of $14,222 thousand and $19,752 thousand , respectively, to the Parent.

 

During 2020 and 2019, the Business also purchased goods from the Parent. Cost of sales has been measured based on the purchase price paid for goods from the Parent. During 2020 and 2019, the Business purchased $5,802 thousand and $4,980 thousand, respectively, of certain inventory components from the Parent.

 

Outstanding amounts receivable from or payable to the Parent for goods and services sold to or purchased from the Parent are included in these Combined Financial Statements within “Receivables, net” and “Accounts payable.” See Note 4 and Note 8 for specific amounts due to/from the Parent.

 

Transactions with equity method investees

 

The Business shares a warehousing facility with an equity method investee, CoLinx, LLC, and is charged for labor and occupancy costs at the shared facility. During 2020 and 2019, the labor and warehouse occupancy charges were $13,315 thousand and $14,158 thousand, respectively. Additionally, the Business is a tenant of the shared facility leased by CoLinx, which is accounted for as an operating lease within the Combined Financial Statements. The operating lease liability at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $3,875 thousand and $4,346 thousand, respectively. Rent expense on this operating lease during 2020 and 2019 was $472 thousand and $453 thousand, respectively.

Note 10—Income taxes

 

The footprint of the MOPT business resides mostly in the United States. Historically the US based Business has been included in the consolidated United States tax return of US Parent. Amounts presented in these Combined Financial Statements relate to income taxes determined on a separate return basis. All current income tax liabilities are assumed to be immediately settled with the Parent and are relieved through the Parent Company Investment account. The net effect of the settlement of these transactions is reflected in Net Transfers (to) from Parent as a financing activity in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows. Therefore, no current income taxes payable are presented in MOPT’s financial statements.

 

In the Income from operations, before income taxes reported below, the split between US and foreign amounts is as follows:

 

($ in thousands)		2020				2019
Income from operations, before income taxes - United States			83,548				96,992
Income from operations, before income taxes - Foreign			6,195				5,092

Total deferred tax liabilities			70,202				77,037
Net deferred tax liabilities			47,582				53,067

 

As mentioned earlier in the Notes, Intangibles consist of Customer Relationships, Tradenames, and Technology recorded in connection with the historical business acquisition of ABB Motors & Mechanical Inc. by the Parent. These Intangibles have no tax basis.

 

The Business considered the likelihood that the deferred tax assets presented herein would be realized under a more-likely-than-not standard and whether a valuation allowance was appropriate to accurately reflect the amounts presented. Given the nature of the deferred tax assets, the Business’ profitability and tax paying position, and taking into account reversing taxable temporary differences, it is expected that the deferred tax assets would be realized in a reasonable amount of time; therefore, the Business determined that a valuation allowance is not necessary. The Business also has no material operating loss or tax credit carryforwards that could contribute to such a determination.

 

In the United States, the Business historically was included in the US Parent’s federal income tax returns, which are continuously undergoing examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). Parent’s IRS audits are complete through 2011 tax year and the earliest open year for audit in the United States is December 31, 2017.

 

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Business recorded insignificant unrecognized tax benefits related to United States Credits for Increasing Research Activities and the ability to maintain those credits under examination. Based on past examination experience, the Business does not believe that its historical operations gave rise to any material tax exposures. There are no associated interest and penalties accrued.

Notes to Condensed Combined Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

 

The Condensed Combined Financial Statements and Notes have been derived from the interim consolidated financial information and accounting records of ABB Ltd. (“ABB” or “Parent”) as the ultimate parent of ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd and the Business. These Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Business (“MOPT”, “we”, “us”, “our”) for the periods presented as historically managed within ABB in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and are presented in United States dollars ($ or USD) unless otherwise stated. As such, the Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not include all the information and notes required under U.S. GAAP for annual combined financial statements. Therefore, such financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Business’ audited combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Condensed Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of the Business’ future performance and do not necessarily reflect what the results of operations, financial position or cash flows would have been had it operated as an independent business during the periods presented.

 

The Condensed Combined Financial Statements are prepared on a carve-out basis from financial information of the Parent. The operations of the Business are consistent with the components of the Parent which are planned to be divested. All amounts presented relate to companies or the relevant portions of companies which are directly controlled by the Parent and all intercompany accounts within the Business and transactions within the Business are eliminated. Intercompany transactions between us and the Parent are deemed to have been settled immediately through Parent company investment. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.

 

External debt, including any interest expense, associated with the debt of the Parent which is not directly attributable to the Business has been excluded from the Combined Statement of Income and Balance Sheet of the Business. The equity of the Business represents the net investment of the Parent in the Business. The Parent’s historical retained earnings related to the Business are included within “Parent company investment.”

 

Current and deferred income taxes have been determined based on the stand-alone results of the Business. However, because the Business has prepared and filed its tax returns as part of ABB’s tax group in certain jurisdictions, the Business’ actual tax balances may differ from those reported.

 

These Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been prepared with facts and circumstances that were known through September 13, 2021 and considered subsequent events through September 13, 2021. See Note 11 for additional information.

 

For further details regarding the basis of presentation or other information regarding the Dodge Mechanical Power Transmission Business of ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd, these Condensed Combined Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the latest audited annual financial statements.

 

Note 2—Cost Allocations and Transactions with Related Parties

 

Cost Allocations

 

These Condensed Combined Financial Statements include general corporate expenses and shared expenses of the Parent that were historically incurred by or charged to the Business for certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis, such as expenses related to information technology, finance and controlling, intellectual property, digital, communications, human resources, sales and marketing, health and safety and country management activities. These expenses are included in the Combined Statements of Income within “Cost of sales,” “Selling, general and administrative expenses,” and “Non-order related research and development expenses.” These expenses have been allocated to the Business on the basis of direct usage, FTEs, square footage, or other measures that are utilized by the Parent for purposes of its consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Condensed Combined Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

These Condensed Combined Financial Statements may not reflect the actual expenses that would have been incurred and may not reflect the Business’ combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had it been a standalone business during the period presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Business had been a standalone business would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure, capital structure, and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. Going forward, the Business may perform these functions using its own resources or outsourced services.

 

The following table reflects these allocations as described above:

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
($ in thousands)		2021				2020				2021				2020

For the six month period ending June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the Business purchased certain inventory components in the amount of $3,798 thousand and $2,613 thousand.

 

Outstanding amounts receivable from or payable to the Parent for goods and services sold to or purchased from the Parent are included in these Combined Financial Statements within “Receivables, net” and “Accounts payable.” See Note 4 and Note 8 for specific amounts due to/from the Parent.

 

Transactions with equity method investees

 

The Business shares a warehousing facility with an equity method investee, CoLinx, LLC, and is charged for labor and occupancy costs at the shared facility.

In connection with the Pending Acquisition, the Company intends to enter into certain financing transactions, including incurring new term loan and revolving credit facilities, issuing senior notes and engaging in certain offerings of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) and Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) (collectively, the “Financing Transactions”). See “Description of the Financing Transactions” below for an explanation of the Financing Transactions.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release 33-10786, “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.”

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of July 3, 2021 gives effect to the Pending Acquisition and the Financing Transactions as if those transactions had been completed on July 3, 2021 and combines the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of July 3, 2021 with the unaudited combined balance sheet of Dodge as of June 30, 2021.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2021 and the three months ended July 3, 2021 give effect to the Pending Acquisition and the Financing Transactions as if they had occurred on March 29, 2020, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2021 and the beginning of the Company’s annual period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2021 combines the audited consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2021 and Dodge’s audited combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended July 3, 2021 combines the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the three months ended July 3, 2021 with Dodge’s unaudited combined statement of income for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

 

RBC has a fiscal year consisting of 52 or 53 weeks, ending on the Saturday closest to March 31. By contrast, the fiscal year for Dodge ends on December 31 of each year. As a result of the different year ends, Dodge’s combined statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is excluded from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. Dodge revenues and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $169.0 million and $26.4 million, respectively.

 

The historical financial statements of RBC and Dodge have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are transaction accounting adjustments, which are necessary to account for the Pending Acquisition and the Financing Transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with:

 

●

The accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information;

●

The separate audited consolidated financial statements of RBC as of and for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2021 and the related notes, included in RBC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2021;

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared solely for informational purposes. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not intended to represent and does not purport to be indicative of what the combined company financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Pending Acquisition and the Financing Transactions occurred at an earlier date or on the dates assumed. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The actual results of the Company may differ significantly from those reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

Description of the Financing

 

The closing of the Pending Acquisition is not subject to any financing condition and the Company’s obligation to pay the purchase price is supported by a $2.8 billion bridge loan commitment provided by Goldman Sachs Bank USA and by the Company’s cash and marketable securities on hand. The Company intends to enter into the Financing Transactions to permanently finance the Pending Acquisition with a mix of debt and equity financing. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Financing Transactions to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the Pending Acquisition, to pay acquisition-related fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in consummating any or all of the Financing Transactions. Furthermore, this Exhibit 99.3 is being provided purely for informational purposes and is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security.

 

As part of the Financing Transactions, the Company’s subsidiary, Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc. (“RBC America”), intends to issue $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) and enter into certain senior secured term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1,300.0 million (“Term Facility”) and a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”) (collectively, the “Debt Financing”). In addition, the Company intends to raise approximately $1,000.0 million in gross proceeds through the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (the “Equity Financing”) in separate registered underwritten public offerings. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that RBC will issue 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 4,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in connection with the Equity Financing with no exercise of the option granted to the underwriters of the separate registered underwritten public offerings to purchase additional shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, as applicable. The foregoing summary of the anticipated terms of the Financing Transactions reflects certain assumptions of the Company as of the date hereof and remains subject to change. No assurances can be given that the Financing Transactions will be consummated on the terms anticipated by the Company, if at all.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786, “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.”

 

RBC and Dodge’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are presented in U.S. dollars. As discussed in Note 2, certain reclassifications were made to align the presentation of Dodge’s financial statements with those of RBC. RBC is currently in the process of evaluating Dodge’s accounting policies, which will be finalized upon completion of the Pending Acquisition, or as more information becomes available. As a result of that review, additional differences could be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies. With the information currently available, RBC has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform Dodge’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by RBC.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with RBC as the accounting acquirer, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and based on the historical consolidated financial statements of RBC and Dodge. Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their assumed acquisition date fair value, while transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of acquisition consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.

 

The allocation of the aggregate acquisition consideration depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, all of which are preliminary. The allocation of the aggregate acquisition consideration has been made for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The final determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed relating to the Pending Acquisition could differ materially from the preliminary allocation of aggregate acquisition consideration. The final valuation will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of Dodge existing at the acquisition date.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of July 3, 2021, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended April 3, 2021 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended July 3, 2021 presented herein are based on the historical financial statements of RBC and Dodge. While RBC and Dodge have different fiscal period ends, Rule 11-02(c)(3) of Regulation S-X permits fiscal period ends to be within one quarter between the acquirer and acquiree, and thus the following financial information was combined:

 

●

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of July 3, 2021 is presented as if the Pending Acquisition and the Financing Transactions had occurred on July 3, 2021 and combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of RBC as of July 3, 2021 with the historical combined balance sheet of Dodge as of June 30, 2021.

 

●

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended April 3, 2021 has been prepared as if the Pending Acquisition and the Financing Transactions had occurred on March 29, 2020, the first day of at the beginning of RBC’s fiscal year 2021 and the beginning of RBC’s annual period presented, and combines RBC’s historical consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2021 with Dodge’s historical combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

 

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

●

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended July 3, 2021 has been prepared as if the Pending Acquisition had occurred on March 29, 2020 and combines RBC’s historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended July 3, 2021 with Dodge’s historical condensed combined statement of income for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Dodge’s historical financial information has been presented on a “carve-out” basis from ABB’s consolidated financial statements using the historical results of operations, cash flows, assets and liabilities of Dodge and includes allocations of corporate expenses and shared expenses from ABB. These allocations reflect significant assumptions, and the financial statements may not fully reflect what Dodge’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been had it been a standalone company during the periods presented. As a result, historical financial information is not necessarily indicative of Dodge’s future results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

Additionally, the face of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements does not include any adjustments to these corporate and shared expense allocations from ABB nor the realization of any costs from operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructuring activities that might result from the Pending Acquisition. Further, there may be additional charges related to restructuring or other integration activities resulting from the Pending Acquisition, the timing, nature and amount of which management cannot currently identify, and thus, such charges are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The pro forma adjustments represent management’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that RBC believes are reasonable under the circumstances. RBC is not aware of any material transactions between RBC and Dodge during the periods presented. Accordingly, adjustments to eliminate transactions between RBC and Dodge have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

Note 2 – RBC and Dodge Reclassification Adjustments

 

During the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, RBC management performed a preliminary analysis of Dodge’s financial information to identify differences in accounting policies as compared to those of RBC and differences in financial statement presentation as compared to the financial statement presentation of RBC. With the information currently available, RBC has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform Dodge’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by RBC. However, certain reclassification adjustments have been made to conform Dodge’s historical financial statement presentation to RBC’s financial statement presentation. Following the Pending Acquisition, the combined company will finalize the review of accounting policies and reclassifications, which could be materially different from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein.

Note 3 – Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

 

Estimated Aggregate Acquisition Consideration

 

The estimated aggregate acquisition consideration for Dodge is $2.9 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments. The following table summarizes the preliminary calculation of the aggregate acquisition consideration:

 

(in thousands)		Amount
Base purchase price as defined in the Purchase Agreement		$	2,900,000
Less: Dodge closing indebtedness (i)			(18,598	)
Preliminary estimated aggregate purchase consideration		$	2,881,402

 

(i) Reflects approximately $11.9 million related to an unfunded post-retirement benefit plan recorded within both other noncurrent liabilities and other current liabilities and approximately $6.7 million related to finance leases recorded within both other noncurrent liabilities and other current liabilities, in each case, that are being assumed in connection with the Pending Acquisition and are categorized as closing indebtedness in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the amount of consideration to be funded to ABB is reduced by any Dodge closing indebtedness.

 

Preliminary Aggregate Acquisition Consideration Allocation

 

The assumed accounting for the Pending Acquisition, including the aggregate acquisition consideration, is based on provisional amounts, and the associated purchase accounting is not final. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was based upon the preliminary estimate of fair values. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not completed the detailed valuations necessary to finalize the required estimated fair values and estimated useful lives of Dodge’s assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed and the related allocation of the purchase price for the Pending Acquisition. The Company anticipates completing its purchase price allocation subsequent to the closing of the Pending Acquisition, and within the measurement period permissible under the acquisition method of accounting, as it completes its assessment about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments reflected herein.

(f)  Reflects originating deferred taxes resulting from pro forma fair value adjustments primarily related to the acquired intangibles based on the applicable statutory tax rate with the respective estimated purchase price allocation of $291.7 million. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-acquisition activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income and changes in tax law. Because the tax rates used for the pro forma financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to completion of the Pending Acquisition. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

If approximately $5.7 million, or 57,000 shares, of Preferred Stock were replaced with approximately $5.7 million, or 26,856 shares, of Common Stock, basic earnings per share would increase by $0.01. If approximately $5.8 million, or 27,328 shares, of Common Stock were replaced with approximately $5.8 million, or 58,000 shares, of Preferred Stock, basic earnings per share would decrease by $0.01. Other than the impact on basic weighted average shares outstanding, there is no incremental impact on diluted earnings per share for changes in the mix of Common Stock and Preferred Stock as the Preferred Stock is anti-dilutive at issuance.
