NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited, and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary by management to fairly state our results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods. The results reported in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in the Company's information statement, dated March 16, 2020, which was included as Exhibit 99.1 in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 16, 2020 (the "Information Statement").
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

A novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") surfaced in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and has since spread throughout the rest of the world. In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. Government. The pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains and financial markets, resulted in significant travel restrictions, mandated facility closures, and shelter-in-place orders.

Carrier is taking all prudent measures to protect the health and safety of our employees and has implemented work from home requirements, where possible, social distancing where working from home is not feasible, including in our manufacturing facilities, deep cleaning protocols at all of our facilities and travel restrictions, among other measures. We have also taken appropriate measures to work with our customers to minimize potential disruption and to support the communities that we serve to address the challenges posed by the pandemic.
The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, as well as any worsening of the pandemic and whether there will be additional outbreaks of the pandemic, and related containment and mitigation actions taken by the U.S., state and local and international governments to prevent disease spread.The extent of the pandemic's impact on Carrier will also depend upon our employees' ability to work safely in our facilities, our customers’ ability to continue to operate or receive our products, the ability of our suppliers to continue to operate, and the level of activity and demand for the ultimate product and services of our customers or their customers.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we temporarily closed or reduced production at manufacturing facilities in North America, Asia and Europe for safety reasons and in response to lower demand for our products, however, as of June 30, 2020, our manufacturing facilities (and nearly all of our suppliers) had resumed operations and 95% of our production capacity was available and, where appropriate, we initiated return-to-work protocols at our non-manufacturing facilities where employees were previously working remotely. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we considered the outbreak and subsequent impacts to be a trigger to reassess our goodwill and intangible asset valuations. In order to evaluate these impacts, we made forecast assumptions regarding future business activity that are subject to a wide range of uncertainties, including those noted in the prior paragraph. Based upon qualitative and, in certain cases, quantitative analyses, we determined that our goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired. For the period ended June 30, 2020, we reviewed the assumptions used in our March 31, 2020 assessment and determined that they remain appropriate.
We continue to focus on navigating the challenges COVID-19 presents by preserving our liquidity and managing our cash flows through preemptive actions to enhance our ability to meet our liquidity needs over the next twelve months. Such actions include, but are not limited to modifying the financial covenants in our revolving and term loan credit agreements and issuing $750 million of unsecured, unsubordinated long-term debt (see Note 10 – Borrowings and Lines of Credit for additional information), reducing our discretionary spending, our capital investments and general and administrative costs by implementing pay freezes and cuts, employee furloughs and the suspension of non-critical hiring, and participation in global COVID-19 relief measures, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, which provides for payroll tax deferrals and credits, income tax payment deferrals, and an increase in the income tax interest deduction limitation.

On November 26, 2018,April 3, 2020 (the "Distribution Date"), United Technologies Corporation, since renamed Raytheon Technologies Corporation ("UTC"), announced its intention to spin off Carrier, onecompleted the spin-off of UTC's reportable segments,the Company into a separatean independent, publicly traded company (the "Separation"). On April 3, 2020, UTC completed the Separation through a pro-rata distribution (the "Distribution") on a 1-for-one basis of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company to UTC shareowners who held shares of UTC common stock as of the close of business on March 19, 2020, the record date forof the Distribution. UTC distributed 866,158,910 shares of Carrier common stock in the Distribution, which was effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on April 3, 2020 (the "Effective Time"). As a result of the Distribution, Carrier became an independent public company and our common stock is listed under the symbol "CARR" on the New York Stock Exchange. In connection with the Separation, Carrierthe Company issued an aggregate principal balance of $11.0 billion of debt and transferred approximately $10.9 billion of cash to UTC on February 27, 2020 and March 27, 2020. On April 1, 2020 and April 2, 2020, Carrierthe Company received cash contributions totaling $590 million from UTC related to the Separation. See Note 10 –
Borrowings and Lines of Credit and Note 3 – Earnings Per Share for additional information.
In connection with the Separation, Carrierthe Company entered into several agreements with UTC and Otis Worldwide Corporation ("Otis"), including a separation and distribution agreement that sets forth certain agreements with UTC and Otis regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Separation, including identifying the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed and the contracts transferred to each of UTC, Otis and Carrier as partgovern various aspects of the Separation, and when and how these transfers and assumptions occurred. Other agreements we entered into that govern aspects of our relationship withamong the Company, UTC and Otis following the Separation include:
Transition Services Agreement. We entered intoand the Distribution, including a Transition Services Agreement (the "TSA") with UTC and Otis in connection with the Separation pursuant to which UTC provides us with certaintransition services and we provide certain services to UTC foragreement ("TSA"), a limited time to help ensure an orderly transition following the Separation. The services we receive include, but are not limited to, information technology services, technical and engineering support, application support for operations, legal, payroll, finance, tax and accounting, general administrative services and other support services. Because costs for these services historically were included in our operating results based on allocations from UTC, we do not expect the costs associated with the TSA to be materially different and, therefore, we do not expect such costs to materially affect our results of operations or cash flows after we became an independent publicly traded company nor do we expect such costs to be materially different when these services are transitioned from UTC to Carrier.
Tax Matters Agreement. We entered into a Tax Matters Agreement (the "TMA") with UTC and Otis that governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax matters (including responsibility for taxes, entitlement to refunds, allocation of tax attributes, preparation of tax returns, control of tax contests and other tax matters). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the TMA, Carrier generally is responsible for federal, state and foreign taxes imposed on a separate return basis upon Carrier (or any of its subsidiaries) with respect to taxable periods (or portions thereof) that ended on or prior to the date of the Distribution. The TMA provides special rules that allocate responsibility for tax liabilities arising from a failure of the Separation transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment based on the reasons for such failure. The TMA also imposes restrictions on each of Carrier and Otis during the two-year period following the Distribution that are intended to prevent certain transactions from failing to qualify as transactions that are generally tax-free.
Employee Matters Agreement and Intellectual Property Agreement. We entered intoagreement ("TMA"), an employee matters agreement and an intellectual property agreement that cover services such as information technology, tax, finance and human resources. In addition, the Company incurred separation-related costs including employee-related costs, costs to establish certain stand-alone functions, information technology systems, professional service fees and other costs associated with UTCbecoming an independent, publicly traded company. These costs are primarily recorded in Selling, general and Otis administrative in connectionthe Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and totaled $3 million and $23 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $19 million and $68 million, respectively. The TSA expired on March 31, 2021.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

In early 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a respiratory disease known as COVID-19 as a global pandemic. In response, many countries implemented containment and mitigation measures to combat the outbreak, which severely restricted the level of economic activity and caused a significant contraction in the global economy. As a result, the Company temporarily closed or reduced production at manufacturing facilities across the globe to ensure employee safety and instructed non-essential employees to work from home. In addition, the Company took several preemptive actions during 2020 to manage liquidity as demand for its products decreased. Despite the adverse impacts of the pandemic on the Company’s results beginning in the first quarter of 2020, manufacturing operations resumed and several restorative actions were completed during 2020, including the reinstatement of annual merit-based salary increases and continued investment to support the Company's core strategy.

The Company continues to focus its efforts on preserving the health and safety of its employees and customers as well as maintaining the continuity of its operations. In addition, the Company continues to actively monitor its liquidity position and working capital needs and believes that its overall capital resources and liquidity position are adequate. The preparation of financial statements requires management to use judgments in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period, which can have a significant effect on reported amounts. However, due to significant uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, management's judgments could change. While the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be negatively impacted, the extent of any continuing impact cannot be estimated with the Separation.certainty at this time.

Certain immaterial amounts presented in the Information Statement have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including the reclassification of the Current portion of long-term debt from Accrued liabilities for 2019 on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company's financial statements for the periods prior to the Separation and the Distribution are prepared on a "carve-out" basis as described below. The Company's financial statements for the period from April 3, 2020 through June 30, 2020 are consolidated financial statements based on the reported results of Carrier as a stand-alone company.
Basis of Presentation Prior to the Separation and the Distribution
Prior to the Separation and the Distribution, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented as historically managed within UTC. For those periods prior to the Separation and the Distribution, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of UTC.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includesinclude all revenues and costsamounts directly attributable to Carrier,the Company. Net cash transfers and other property transferred between UTC and the Company, including costs for facilities, functionsrelated party receivables and services used by Carrier. Priorpayables between the Company and other UTC affiliates, are presented as Net transfers to UTC. In addition, the Separation, costs for certain functions and services performed by UTC were directly charged to Carrier based on specific identification when possible or based on a reasonable allocation driver such as net sales, headcount, proportionate usage or other allocation methods. The results of operationsfinancial statements include allocations of costs for administrative functions and services performed on behalf of Carrierthe Company by centralized groups within UTC and certain pension and other post-retirement benefit costs (see Note 5 – Related Parties for a description of the allocation methodologies).UTC. All charges and allocations for facilities, functions and services performed by UTC have been deemed settled in cash by Carrier to UTC in the period in which the cost was recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Prior to the Separation, UTC used a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. Accordingly, none of the cash, third party debt or related interest expense of UTC has been allocated to Carrier in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period prior to the Separation. However, cash balances primarily associated with certain foreign entities that did not participate in UTC’s cash management program have been included in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for periods prior to the Separation. Transactions between UTC and Carrier are deemed settled immediately through UTC’s Net investment, other than those transactions which have historically been cash-settled and which are reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within Accounts receivable, net and Accounts payable. The net effect of the deemed settled transactions is reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as Net transfers to UTC within financing activities and in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as UTC’s Net investment (see Note 5 – Related Parties for additional information).
All of the allocations and estimates in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However,The Company's financial statements for the periods priorsubsequent to April 3, 2020 are consolidated financial statements based on the reported results of Carrier as a stand-alone company.

NOTE 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE
On April 3, 2020, the date of the Distribution (the "Distribution Date"), 866,158,910 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, were distributed to UTC shareowners of record as of March 19, 2020. This share amount is utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to the Separation and such shares are treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of calculating historical earnings per share. For periods prior to the Separation, it is assumed that there are no dilutive equity instruments as there were no Carrier stock-based awards outstanding prior to the Separation.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive stock awards that are outstanding. For periods subsequent to the Separation, the computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock-based awards, including stock appreciation rights and stock options, when the effect of the potential exercise would be anti-dilutive. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period beginning after the Distribution Date. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $49 million and $50 million for the number of stock awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect was approximately 31 million.six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

NOTE 5: RELATED PARTIES6: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Equity Method InvestmentsASC 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"), defines fair value as the price that would be received if an asset is sold or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:

Carrier sells productsLevel 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks arising from business operations and purchases products from unconsolidated entities accounted for undereconomic factors, including foreign currency and commodity price risk. These exposures are managed through operational strategies and the equity method,use of undesignated hedging contracts.

The Company periodically reviews the carryingfair value of its equity method investments to determine if there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. A variety of factors are considered when determining if a decline in carrying value is other-than-temporary, including, among other factors, the financial condition and business prospects of the investee, as well as the Company's intent with regard to the investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we determined that indicators of impairment existed for a minority owned joint venture investment in the portfolio. We performed a valuation of this investment, based on the income approach using the discounted cash flow method. We determined that the loss in value was other-than-temporary due to a reduction in sales and earnings that were driven by a deterioration in the oil and gas industry (the joint venture's primary market) and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors. As a result, we recorded a non-cash, other-than-temporary impairment charge of $71 million on this investment during the three months ended March 31, 2020 which is included in Other (expense) income, net on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, there were 0 significant equity method investment impairment charges.

Product sales in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations include sales to UTC and affiliates of UTC other than Carrier of $0 million and $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $3 million and $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Allocated Centralized Costs. Prior to the Separation, UTC incurred corporate costs for services provided to the Company and to other UTC businesses. These services included treasury, tax, accounting, human resources, internal audit, legal, purchasing, and information technology. The costs associated with these services generally included all payroll and benefit costs as well as related overhead costs.

UTC corporate costs were either specifically attributed and charged to Carrier, when possible, or allocated to the Company. Allocations were based on direct usage where identifiable and on a number of other utilization measures including headcount, proportionate usage and net sales. All such amounts were deemed incurred and settled by the Company in the period in which the costs were recorded and are included in UTC Net investment.
The allocated centralized costs for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $0 million and $62 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $43 million and $116 million,respectively, and are primarily included in Selling, general and administrative in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The amounts that would have been, or will be incurred, on a stand-alone basis could differ from the amounts allocated due to economies of scale, differences in management approach, a need for more or fewer employees, or other factors. In addition, the Company's future results of operations, financial position and cash flows could differ materially from the historical results presented herein.
Separation Costs.

NOTE 6: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through the sale of products and services to commercial customers, which are recorded as Trade receivables. We evaluate a customer’s ability to pay by assessing creditworthiness, historical experience and current conditions. We determine credit ratings for each customer in our portfolio based upon public information and information obtained directly from our customers. We evaluate the reasonableness of the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis or when events and circumstances warrant. In addition to credit quality indicators, factors considered in our evaluation of collectability include the underlying value of any collateral or security interests, past due balances, historical losses, existing economic conditions, and country and political risk. In certain circumstances, we may require collateral or prepayment to mitigate credit risk.
We determine receivables are impaired when, based on historical experience, current information and events and a reasonable forecast period, we may be unable to collect amounts due according to the contractual terms of an agreement. Estimated credit losses are written off in the period in which an accounts receivable is determined to no longer be collectible.

NOTE 10:BORROWINGS AND LINES OF CREDIT
On February 10, 2020, we entered into a revolving credit agreement with various banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $2.0 billion pursuant to an unsecured, unsubordinated revolving credit facility that matures on April 3, 2025 (the "revolving credit facility"). The revolving credit facility supports our commercial paper program and cash requirements. A commitment fee of 0.125% is charged on the unused commitments. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are available in U.S. Dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling and bear interest at a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin, which was 125 basis points as of June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, there were 0 borrowings on the revolving credit facility.
On February 10, 2020, we entered into a $1.75 billion term loan credit agreement that provides an unsecured, unsubordinated term loan credit facility which matures on February 10, 2023 (the "term loan credit facility"). Borrowings under the term loan credit facility are subject to a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin, which was 112.5 basis points as of June 30, 2020.
On February 27, 2020, Carrier issued $9.25 billion of unsecured, unsubordinated long-term notes in 6 series with maturity dates ranging from 2023 through 2050. The notes were issued pursuant to an indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.

The revolving credit agreement, term loan credit agreement and indenture contain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type, that among other things, limit Carrier and its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional liens, to make certain fundamental changes and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. On June 2, 2020, the Company entered into amendments to both the revolving credit agreement and the term loan credit agreement. Pursuant to the amendments, certain terms of the revolving credit facility and the term loan credit facility were amended for a period beginning on June 2, 2020 and ending on December 30, 2021 (the "Covenant Modification Period"). The Company may terminate the Covenant Modification Period prior to December 30, 2021 subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The amendments defer testing of our consolidated total net leverage ratio financial covenant until June 30, 2021 and increases the consolidated total net leverage ratio limit until December 31, 2021. The amendments also require us to maintain liquidity at a certain level until the earlier of (1) June 29, 2021 and (2) the last day of the Covenant Modification Period. Additionally, during the Covenant Modification Period, the Company is subject to (a) limitations on the incurrence of subsidiary indebtedness, (b) limitations on the making of restricted payments, including purchases by the Company of its ordinary shares and the amount of dividends the Company may pay, and (c) a "most favored nations" provision related to certain terms of any committed credit facility in an amount greater than $100 million.

As of June 30, 2020, we have a $2.0 billion unsecured, unsubordinated commercial paper program which we plan to use for general corporate purposes, including the funding of working capital and potential acquisitions.

NOTE 12: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION11: REVENUE RECOGNITION

Stock-Based Compensation. PriorThe Company recognizes revenue when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefit from that good or service. A significant portion of the Company's performance obligations are recognized at a point-in-time when control of the product transfers to the Separation and Distribution, Carrier participated in UTC’s long-term incentive plans ("LTIP")customer, which authorized various typesis generally at the time of market and performance-based incentive awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share units and restricted stock units, which were granted to eligible Carrier officers and employees. All awards granted under the UTC LTIP related to UTC common shares.

As a resultshipment. The remaining portion of the Separation and Distribution, outstanding and vested awards granted to employeesCompany's performance obligations are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously obtains control as the Company performs work under UTC's LTIP were generally converted into Carrier, Otis and UTC stock-based awards. Unvested awards held by Carrier employees and former employees were converted to Carrier stock-based awards. The ratio used to converta contract, or if the UTC LTIP awards was intended to preserveproduct being produced for the aggregate intrinsic value of each award immediately after the Separationcustomer has no alternative use and the Distribution when comparedCompany has a contractual right to the aggregate intrinsic value immediately prior to the Separation and the Distribution. All performance share units outstanding on the Distribution Date were converted to restricted stock units using payout metrics based on a combination of actual performance through the Distribution Date and the target for the remainder of the performance period. Due to the conversion, we expect to incur $14 million of incremental stock-based compensation expense to be recognized over the awards' remaining 1.5 year vesting period.

Under Carrier's LTIP, the exercise price of awards, if any, is set on the grant date and, on a per share basis, may not be less than the fair market value of Carrier's common stock on that date on a per share basis. Stock appreciation rights and stock options have a term of ten years and a three-year vesting period, subject to limited exceptions. In the event of retirement, stock appreciation rights, stock options and restricted stock units held for more than one year may vest and become exercisable (if applicable), subject to certain terms and conditions. Performance share units vest based on performance relative to pre-established metrics and generally have a minimum three-year vesting period. In the event of retirement, performance share units held for more than one year remain eligible to vest based on actual performance relative to pre-established metrics.

We measure the cost of stock-based compensation, including stock options, at fair value on the grant date net of expected forfeitures and recognized $22 million and $14 million of such costs for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and $35 million and $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2019 represent the amounts allocated to us from UTC related to our direct employees.payment.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Volatility35.6 %
Expected life (in years)7.0  
Expected dividend yield2.0 %
Range of risk-free rate0.1 %1.0%

Carrier has limited historical trading data and used peer group data to estimate expected volatility. Carrier used historical Carrier employee data, including data prior to the Separation and the Distribution, to estimate expected life. The expected dividend yield is consistent with Carrier's dividend policy on an annualized basis. The risk-free rate is based on the term structure of interest rates at the time the award was granted.

NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was 28.2% and 44.6%, respectively, compared with 7.6% and 14.6%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to the absence of a prior year combined tax benefit of $149 million resulting from the filing by a Carrier subsidiary to participate in an amnesty program

The increasetiming of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in contract assets and contract liabilities. Contract assets relate to the effective tax rateconditional right to consideration for any completed performance under a contract when costs are incurred in excess of billings under the percentage-of-completion methodology. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract or when the Company has a right to consideration that is conditioned upon transfer of a good or service to the customer. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. The Company recognized revenue of $100 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to the items described above and a $51 million charge2021 that related to contract liabilities as of January 1, 2021. The Company expects a valuation allowance recorded against a United Kingdom tax loss and a credit carry forwardmajority of its contract liabilities at the end of the period to be recognized as a result of activities related to the Separation, a charge of $46 million resulting from Carrier's decision to no longer permanently reinvest certain pre-2018 unremitted non-U.S. earnings, and the impact of a non-deductible impairment charge of $71 million on a minority-owned joint venture investment, all of which were recordedrevenue in the six months ended June 30, 2020.next 12 months.

The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis through an analysis of potential sources of future taxable income, including prior year taxable income available to absorb a carryback of tax losses, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and forecasts of taxable income. The Company considers all negative and positive evidence, including the weight of the evidence, to determine if valuation allowances against deferred tax assets are required. The Company maintains valuation allowances against certain non-U.S. deferred tax assets. We will continue to evaluate the impact that COVID-19 and other economic impacts may have on the future realizability of a portion of the remaining non-U.S. deferred tax assets.
Carrier conducts business globally and, as a result, files income tax returns in U.S. federal and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In certain jurisdictions, Carrier's operations were included in UTC's combined tax returns for the periods through the Separation. The IRS commenced an audit of UTC's tax years 2017 and 2018 in the second quarter of 2020. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. Carrier is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for years prior to 2017 and, with few exceptions, is no longer subject to state and local and foreign income tax examinations for tax years before 2010.

Income taxes through March 31, 2020 were recorded based on a "carve-out" and separate company basis. Prior to the Separation, the Company’s portion of income taxes for domestic and certain foreign jurisdictions were deemed settled in the period the related tax expense was recorded. After the Separation, the Company’s income taxes are prepared on a stand-alone basis.

Pursuant to the TMA, Carrier is required to make payments to UTC representing Carrier's portion of UTC's remaining net tax liability attributable to U.S. income tax on previously undistributed earnings of Carrier's international subsidiaries resulting from the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "TCJA"). The balances computed on a separate company basis of approximately $68 million recorded within Accrued liabilities and $701 million recorded within Future income tax obligations were adjusted through UTC Net investment upon the Separation resulting in a future stand-alone obligation of $453 million recorded within Other long-term liabilities and $6 million within Accrued liabilities. This obligation is expected to be settled in 6 annual installments, beginning April 15, 2021.

After the Separation, Carrier is entitled to unrecognized tax benefits to the extent the item relates exclusively to Carrier in accordance with the TMA. The change from a separate company to stand-alone basis resulted in a decrease of $37 million to Future income tax obligations and $27 million to Future income tax benefits, both of which were recorded through UTC Net investment in the three months ended June 30, 2020.
In the ordinary course of business, there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying our income tax positions. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits of up to $15 million may occur within 12 months as a result of additional worldwide uncertain tax positions, the revaluation of uncertain tax positions arising from examinations, appeals, court decisions, or the closure of tax statutes and the Separation.

NOTE 16: GUARANTEES13: INCOME TAXES

The Company provides serviceaccounts for income tax expense in accordance with ASC 740, which requires that an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year to be applied to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and warranty coverageprojected results for the full year. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 32.0% compared with 28.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The period-over-period increase is primarily due to a $43 million deferred tax charge as a result of a tax rate increase enacted on its productsJune 10, 2021, with an effective date of April 2023, from 19% to 25% in the United Kingdom.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 27.5% compared with 44.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The year-over-year decrease is primarily due to the absence of a prior year charge of $51 million related to a valuation allowance recorded against a United Kingdom tax loss and extends performancecredit carryforward and operating cost guarantees beyond normal servicea $46 million charge resulting from the Company's decision to no longer permanently reinvest certain pre-2018 unremitted non-U.S. earnings. The six months ended June 30, 2021 included a $43 million deferred tax charge as a result of the tax rate increase from 19% to 25% in the United Kingdom, partially offset by the recognition of a favorable tax adjustment of $21 million resulting from a re-organization in our German subsidiaries.

We attemptcommon stock outstanding during the period (excluding treasury stock). Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to manage foreign currency transaction exposures through operational strategies and the use of foreign currency hedging contracts. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 820: Fair Value Measurement, the following tables provide the valuation hierarchy classification of assets and liabilitiesall potentially dilutive stock awards that are recorded at fair valueoutstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock-based awards, including stock appreciation rights and measured on a recurring basis in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:stock options, when the effect of the potential exercise would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 15: BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Valuation Techniques.Based on the information available as of June 30, 2020, the fair value of the term loan credit facility was estimated on the basis of the present value of the expected future cash flows contractually due in accordance with the terms of the term loan credit agreement, a Level 3 measurement. The cash flows were discounted using the LIBOR rate at the valuation date based on the terms of the term loan credit agreement and adjusted for any change in credit risk premium. At June 30, 2020, the project financing obligations included in Long-term debt approximate their fair value. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no transfers in or out of levels 1, 2 or 3.
The following table presents changes duringDuring the six months ended June 30, 20202021, the Company acquired consolidated and 2019minority-owned businesses. The aggregate cash paid, net of cash acquired, totaled $167 million and was funded through cash on hand. Acquisitions are recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in Level 3accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). As a result, the aggregate purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities not measuredassumed based on the estimate of fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets associated with these transactions totaled $94 million and primarily related to customer relationships, technology assets and a non-compete agreement. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and totaled $175 million.

Acquisition of Giwee Group Co.

On June 1, 2021, the Company acquired a 70% controlling stake in Guangdong Giwee Group and its subsidiaries ("Giwee"). Giwee is a China-based manufacturer of HVAC products, offering a portfolio of products including variable refrigerant flow, modular chillers and light commercial air conditioners. The results of Giwee are reported within the HVAC segment as of the date of acquisition. The Company has not included pro forma financial information required under ASC 805 as the pro forma impact was not deemed significant.

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and totaled $168 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Accounts receivable and current liabilities were stated at their historical carrying value, which approximates fair value given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The estimate of fair value for inventory and property, plant and equipment was based on a recurring basis:an assessment of the acquired assets' condition as well as an evaluation of the current market value of such assets.

The valuation of intangible assets was determined using an income approach methodology including the multi-period excess earnings method and the relief from royalty method. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included projected revenue growth rate, customer attrition rates and royalty rates. The projected future cash flows are discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has not finalized the process of allocating the purchase price and valuing the acquired assets and liabilities for the Giwee acquisition.

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its equity method investments to determine if there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company determined that indicators of impairment existed for a minority owned joint venture investment and performed a valuation of this investment using a discounted cash flow method. The Company determined that the loss in value was other-than-temporary due to a reduction in sales and earnings that were primarily driven by a deterioration in the oil and gas industry (the joint venture's primary market) and by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash, other-than-temporary impairment charge of $71 million on this investment during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which is included in Other income (expense), net on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

NOTE 18: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company is involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental (including asbestos) and legal matters. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies ("ASC 450"), the Company records accruals for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are generally based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the Company accrues the minimum amount. In addition, these estimates are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. The Company is unable to predict the final outcome of the following matters based on the information currently available, except as otherwise noted. However, the Company does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect upon ourthe Company's competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Environmental.
Environmental Matters

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation by various authorities. We haveThe Company has accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities, including but not limited to investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs and performance guarantees, and wethe Company periodically reassessreassesses these amounts. Management believes that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of the amounts accrued is remote. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, theThe outstanding liabilityliabilities for environmental obligations was $230 million and $217 million, respectively, of which $13 million and $14 million, respectively, is included in Accrued liabilities and $217 million and $203 million, respectively, is included in Other long-term liabilities on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.are as follows:

Asbestos Matters

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have been named as defendants in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos allegedly integrated into certain Carrier products or business premises. While the Company has never manufactured asbestos and no longer incorporates it into any currently-manufactured products, certain products that Carrierthe Company no longer manufactures contained components incorporating asbestos. A substantial majority of these asbestos-related claims have been dismissed without payment or werehave been covered in full or in part by insurance or other forms of indemnity. Additional cases were litigated and settled without any insurance reimbursement. The amounts involved in asbestos-related claims were not material individually or in the aggregate in any period.

The Company had asbestos liabilities and related recoveries as follows:

The amounts recorded for asbestos-related liabilities are based on currently available information and assumptions that we believethe Company believes are reasonable and are made with input from outside actuarial experts. As of June 30, 2020, the estimated range of liability to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is approximately $251 million to $290 million. Where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. We have recorded the minimum amount of $251 million and $255 million, which is principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These amounts are undiscounted and exclude the Company’s legal fees to defend the asbestos claims, which are expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company has recorded an insurance recovery receivable for probable asbestos-related recoveriesrecoveries.

UTC Equity Awards Conversion Litigation

On August 12, 2020, several former employees of approximatelyUTC or its subsidiaries filed a putative class action complaint (the "Complaint") in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut against Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Carrier, Otis, the former members of the UTC Board of Directors and the members of the Carrier and Otis Boards of Directors ( $104 million, Geraud Darnis, et al. v. Raytheon Technologies Corporation, et al.). The Complaint challenges the method by which UTC equity awards were converted to UTC, Carrier and Otis equity awards following the Separation and the Distribution. The Complaint asserted that the defendants are liable for breach of certain equity compensation plans and for breach of fiduciary duty and also asserted claims under certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Plaintiffs have withdrawn, with prejudice, their claims against Otis's and Carrier's current Boards of Directors. Carrier believes that the remaining claims against the Company are without merit.

Aqueous Film Forming Foam Litigation

Aqueous Film Forming Foam ("AFFF") is includeda firefighting foam developed in the 1970s pursuant to U.S. military specification and used to extinguish certain types of fires primarily at airports and military bases. AFFF was manufactured by several companies, including National Foam and Angus Fire. UTC acquired the National Foam and Angus Fire businesses in Other assets on2005 as part of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet asacquisition of June 30, 2020Kidde, which had been operated by Carrier. In 2013, UTC divested the National Foam and December 31, 2019.Angus Fire businesses to a third party.

Income Taxes. As described in Note 1 – DescriptionThe Company and many other parties, including the third-party buyer of the Business, National Foam and Angus Fire businesses, have been named as defendants in over 1,300 cases, including putative class actions and other lawsuits, alleging that the TMA provides special rules that allocate responsibility for tax liabilities arising from a failurehistoric use of AFFF caused personal injuries and property damage. Additionally, several state, municipal and water utility plaintiffs have commenced litigation against the same defendants to recover remediation costs related to historic use of AFFF. In December 2018, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ("MDL") transferred and consolidated all of the Separation transactionsAFFF cases pending in the federal courts to qualifythe U.S. District Court for tax-free treatment based on the reasonsDistrict of South Carolina for pre-trial proceedings.

Plaintiffs in the MDL allege that a chemical ingredient in AFFF contains, or breaks down into, compounds known as perflourooctane sulfonate ("PFOS") and perflourooctane acid ("PFOA") that were released into the environment and, in some instances, ultimately leached into drinking water supplies. National Foam and Angus Fire purchased these perflourinated chemical ingredients from third-party chemical manufacturers to manufacture AFFF. Chemicals containing PFOS and PFOA (or their precursors) have also been used for decades by many third parties to manufacture carpets, clothing, fabrics, cookware and other consumer products. The individual plaintiffs in the MDL generally seek compensatory damages for alleged personal injuries, medical monitoring and diminution in property value and injunctive relief to remediate alleged contamination of water supplies. The U.S., state, municipal and water utility plaintiffs in the MDL generally seek damages and costs related to the remediation of public property and water supplies.

The Company and other defendants are also party to fewer than 10 cases in state court brought by oil refining companies in the U.S. alleging product liability claims related to legacy sales of AFFF and seeking damages for the costs to replace the product and for property damage.

The Company and other defendants are also party to an action related to the AFFF manufacturing facility that was operated by National Foam and Angus Fire in which the plaintiff water utility seeks remediation costs related to the alleged contamination of the local water supply.

The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to these claims and the Company is also seeking insurance coverage for these claims. At this time, however, given the numerous factual, scientific and legal issues to be resolved relating to these claims, the Company is unable to assess the probability of liability or reasonably estimate the damages, if any, to be allocated to the Company, if one or more plaintiffs were to prevail in these cases, and there can be no assurance that any such failure. Further,future exposure will not be material in any period.

Income Taxes
Under the TMA, the Company is responsible to UTC for its share of the TCJATax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") transition tax associated with foreign undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2020,a result, a liability of $72$453 million primarily related to our share of TCJA transition tax associated with foreign undistributed earnings is included within Other long-term liabilities on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We believeSheet at June 30, 2021. This obligation is expected to be settled in annual installments ending in April 2026 with the next installment of $36 million included within Accrued Liabilities. The Company believes that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of this amount is remote.

Other. As described in Note 16 – Guarantees, the Company extends performance and operating cost guarantees beyond the normal warranty and service policies for extended periods on some of its products. The Company typically accrues its estimate of the liability that may result under these guarantees and for service costs that are probable and can be reasonably estimated.Other

The Company has other commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self-insurance programs and matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for contingencies generally based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the Company accrues the minimum amount.

In the ordinary course of business, Carrierthe Company is also routinely a defendant in, party to or otherwise subject to many pending and threatened legal actions, claims, disputes and proceedings. These matters are often based on alleged violations of contract, product liability, warranty, regulatory, environmental, health and safety, employment, intellectual property, tax and other laws. In some of these proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries and could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. We doThe Company does not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect upon ourits competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Business Summary
Carrier is a leading global provider of healthy, safe and sustainable building and cold chain solutions. We operate three business segments, HVAC, Refrigeration and Fire & Security, each with strong brands and innovative products which we expect to drive future growth. Today, our portfolio includes industry-leading brands such as Carrier, Kidde, Edwards, LenelS2, Carrier Transicold and Automated Logic that offer innovative HVAC, refrigeration, fire, security and building automation technologies to help make the world safer and more comfortable.

Our worldwide operations are affected by global and regional industrial, economic and political factors and trends. These include the mega-trends of urbanization, climate change and increasing requirements for food safety driven by the food needs of our growing global population and the rising standards of living in emerging markets. We believe that our business segments are well positioned to benefit from favorable secular trends, including these mega-trends and from the strength of our industry-leading brands and track record of innovation. In addition, we regularly review our markets to proactively detect trends and adapt our strategies accordingly.

Our business is also affected by changes in the general level of economic activity, such as changes in business and consumer spending, construction and shipping activity as well as short-term economic factors such as currency fluctuations, commodity price volatility and supply disruptions. However, we continue to invest in our business, take pricing actions to mitigate supply chain and inflationary pressures, develop new products and services in order to remain competitive in our markets and use risk management strategies to mitigate various exposures. We believe that we have industry-leading global brands which form the foundation of our business strategy. Coupled with our focus on growth, innovation and operational efficiency, we expect to drive long-term future growth and increased value for our shareowners.

Recent Developments

Sale of Chubb Fire & Security Business

On July 26, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our Chubb business to APi for an enterprise value of $3.1 billion. The purchase price is subject to working capital and other adjustments as provided in the Agreement. Chubb, reported within our Fire & Security segment, delivers essential fire safety and security solutions from design and installation to monitoring, service and maintenance across more than 17 countries around the globe. At June 30, 2021, Chubb did not meet the criteria for assets held for sale in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. On a prospective basis, the net assets of Chubb will be classified as held for sale until the divestiture is completed. This transaction is expected to close late in the fourth quarter of 2021 or early in the first quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approvals, required works council consultation in France and customary closing conditions. Based on the carrying amount of Chubb’s net assets, foreign currency translation rates and other assumptions at June 30, 2021, we expect to recover the carrying value of the disposal group upon completion of the transaction. In conjunction with the Agreement, we have agreed to provide APi, and APi has agreed to provide the Company, certain transitional services for varying periods after the closing.

Share Repurchase Program

On July 27, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a $1.75 billion increase to our existing $350 million stock repurchase program authorized in February 2021. Share repurchases may take place from time to time subject to market conditions and at our discretion in the open market or through one or more other public or private transactions.

Separation from United Technologies Corporation

On April 3, 2020, UTC completed the Separation through the Distribution of all of the outstanding common stock of the Company to UTC shareowners who held shares of UTC common stock as of the close of business on March 19, 2020, the record date for the Distribution. UTC distributed 866,158,910 shares of Carrier common stock in the Distribution, which was effective at the Effective Time. As a result of the Distribution, UTC shareowners of record received one share of the Company's common stock for every one share of UTC common stock and Carrier becameinto an independent, public company and our common stock is listed under the symbol "CARR" on the New York Stock Exchange.publicly traded company. In connection with the Separation, Carrierwe issued an aggregate principal balance of $11.0 billion of debt and transferred approximately $10.9 billion of cash to UTC on February 27, 2020 and March 27, 2020. On April 1, 2020In addition, we entered into several agreements with UTC and April 2, 2020, Carrier received cash contributions totaling $590 million from UTC related to the Separation. See Note 10 – Borrowings and Lines of Credit and Note 3 – Earnings Per Share to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include allOtis that govern various aspects of the informationrelationship among us, UTC and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Companystatements for the periods presented as historically managed within UTC. For the periods prior to the Separation and the Distribution are prepared on a "carve-out" basis and include all amounts directly attributable to Carrier. Net cash transfers and other property transferred between UTC and us, including related party receivables and payables between us and other UTC affiliates, are presented as Net transfers to UTC. In addition, the financial statements include allocations of costs for administrative functions and services performed on our behalf by centralized groups within UTC. All allocations and estimates in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of UTC and thusbased on assumptions that management believes are prepared on a "carve-out" basis, as described below. The Company'sreasonable. Our financial statements for the period fromperiods subsequent to April 3, 2020 through June 30, 2020 are consolidated financial statements based on the reported results of Carrier as a stand-alone company.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all revenues and costs directly attributable to Carrier, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by Carrier. Prior to the Separation, costs for certain functions and services performed by UTC were directly charged to Carrier based on specific identification when possible or based on a reasonable allocation driver such as net sales, headcount, proportionate usage or other allocation methods. The results of operations include allocations of costs for administrative functions and services performed on behalf of Carrier by centralized groups within UTC.
We entered into the TSA with UTC and Otis in connection with the Separation pursuant to which UTC provides us with certain services and we provide certain services to UTC for a limited time to help ensure an orderly transition following the Separation. The services we receive include, but are not limited to, information technology services, technical and engineering support, application support for operations, legal, payroll, finance, tax and accounting, general administrative services and other support services. Because costs for these services historically were included in our operating results based on allocations from UTC, we do not expect the costs associated with the TSA to be materially different and, therefore, we do not expect such costs to materially affect our results of operations or cash flows after we became an independent publicly traded company nor do we expect such costs to be materially different when these services are transitioned from UTC to Carrier.
Subsequent to the Separation, we have and will continue to incur expenditures consisting primarily of employee-related costs, costs to establish certain stand-alone functions and information technology systems and other transaction-related costs. Additionally, we will incur increased costs as a result of becoming an independent, publicly traded company, primarily from establishing or expanding corporate support for our businesses, including information technology, human resources, treasury, tax, internal audit, risk management, accounting and financial reporting, investor relations, governance, legal, procurement and other services. Our preliminary estimates of these additional recurring costs expected to be incurred annually are approximately $75 million to $95 million greater than the expenses historically allocated to us from UTC, and primarily relate to Selling, general and administrative expenses. We believe our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund these additional corporate expenses.
In connection with the Separation, we entered into the TMA with UTC and Otis that governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax matters (including responsibility for taxes, entitlement to refunds, allocation of tax attributes, preparation of tax returns, control of tax contests and other tax matters). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the TMA, Carrier generally is responsible for federal, state and foreign taxes imposed on a separate return basis upon Carrier (or any of its subsidiaries) with respect to taxable periods (or portions thereof) that ended on or prior to the dateImpact of the Distribution. The TMA provides special rules that allocate responsibility for tax liabilities arising from a failure of the

Separation transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment based on the reasons for such failure. The TMA also imposes restrictions on each of Carrier and Otis during the two-year period following the Distribution that are intended to prevent certain transactions from failing to qualify as transactions that are generally tax-free. For additional discussion, see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions," in the Information Statement.
In connection with the Separation, we also entered into an employee matters agreement and intellectual property agreement with UTC and Otis. These agreements are not expected to have a material impact on the financial results of Carrier.

Business SummaryCOVID-19 Pandemic

Carrier isIn early 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a leading global provider of HVAC, refrigeration, fire and security solutions. We also provide a broad array of related building services, including audit, design, installation, system integration, repair, maintenance and monitoring. Our innovative solutions promote smarter, safer and more sustainable buildings and infrastructure, and help to effectively preserve the freshness, quality and safety of perishables across a wide variety of industries. Our comprehensive range of products and services, reputation for quality and innovation and our industry-leading brands make us a trusted provider for our customers’ critical applications in the construction, transportation, security, food, retail, pharmaceutical and other industries.
Our worldwide operations are affected by industrial, economic and political factors on both a regional and global level. This includes the mega-trends of urbanization, climate change and increasing requirements for food safety driven by the food needs of our growing global population, rising standards of living and increasing energy and environmental regulation. We believe that growth in our businesses is supported by favorable secular trends, including these mega-trends, which underpin growth across our HVAC, Refrigeration and Fire & Security businesses. We also believe that we are well positioned to benefit from these long-term trendsrespiratory disease known as COVID-19 as a result ofglobal pandemic. In response, many countries implemented containment and mitigation measures to combat the strength of our industry-leading brands and track record of innovation.
The effects of climate change, such as extreme weather conditions, create financial risks to our business. For example,outbreak, which severely restricted the demand for our products and services, such as residential air conditioning equipment, may be affected by unseasonable weather conditions. Demand for our HVAC products and services, representing our largest segment by sales, is seasonal and affected by the weather. Cooler than normal summers depress our sales of replacement air conditioning products and services. Similarly, warmer than normal winters have the same effect on our heating products.
Our business is also affected by changes in the general level of economic activity such as changesand caused a significant contraction in business and consumer spending, construction activity and shipping activity. A change in building and remodeling activity also can affect our financial performance. In addition, our financial performance may be influenced by the production and utilization of transport equipment, including truck production cycles in North America and Europe.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
COVID-19 surfaced in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and has since spread throughout the rest of the world. In March 2020, COVID-19 was declaredglobal economy. As a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. Government.The pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains and financial markets, resulted in significant travel restrictions, mandated facility closures, and shelter-in-place orders.
Carrier is taking all prudent measures to protect the health and safety of our employees and has implemented work from home requirements, where possible, social distancing where working from home is not feasible, including in our manufacturing facilities, deep cleaning protocols at all of our facilities and travel restrictions, among other measures. We have also taken appropriate measures to work with our customers to minimize potential disruption and to support the communities that we serve to address the challenges posed by the pandemic.
The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, as well as any worsening of the pandemic and whether there will be additional outbreaks of the pandemic, and related containment and mitigation actions taken by the U.S., state and local and international governments to prevent disease spread.The extent of the pandemic's impact on Carrier will also depend upon our employees' ability to work safely in our facilities, our customers’ ability to continue to operate or receive our products, the ability of our suppliers to continue to operate, and the level of activity and demand for the ultimate product and services of our customers or their customers.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020,result, we temporarily closed or reduced production at manufacturing facilities in North America, Asiaacross the globe to ensure employee safety and Europe for safety reasons and in responseinstructed non-essential employees to lowerwork from home. In addition, we took several preemptive actions during 2020 to manage liquidity as demand for our products however, asdecreased. Despite the adverse impacts of June 30, 2020,the pandemic on our manufacturing facilities (and nearly all of our suppliers) had resumed operations and 95% of our production capacity was available and, where appropriate, we initiated return-to-work protocols at our non-manufacturing facilities where employees were previously working remotely. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we considered the outbreak and subsequent impacts to be a trigger to reassess our goodwill and intangible asset valuations. In order to evaluate these impacts, we made forecast assumptions regarding future business activity that are subject to a wide range of uncertainties, including those notedresults beginning in the prior paragraph. Based upon qualitativefirst quarter of 2020, manufacturing operations resumed and in certain cases, quantitative analyses, we determined thatseveral restorative actions were completed during 2020 including the reinstatement of annual merit-based salary increases and continued investment to support our goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired. For the period ended June 30, 2020, we reviewed the assumptions used in our March 31, 2020 assessment and determined that they remain appropriate.core strategy.

We continue to focus our efforts on navigatingpreserving the challenges COVID-19 presents by preservinghealth and safety of our liquidityemployees and managing our cash flows through preemptive actions to enhance our ability to meet our liquidity needs over the next twelve months. Such actions include, but are not limited to modifying the financial covenants in our revolving and term loan credit agreements and issuing $750 million of unsecured, unsubordinated long-term debt (see Note 10 – Borrowings and Lines of Credit for additional information), reducing our discretionary spending, our capital investments and general and administrative costs by implementing pay freezes and cuts, employee furloughs and the suspension of non-critical hiring, and participation in global COVID-19 relief measures, including the CARES Act, which provides for payroll tax deferrals and credits, income tax payment deferrals, and an increase in the income tax interest deduction limitation.
Business Segments
Our operations are organized into three segments: HVAC, Refrigeration and Fire & Security. Our HVAC segment provides products, controls, services and solutions to meet the heating and cooling needs of residential and commercial customers. Our Refrigeration segment provides refrigeration and monitoring systems for trucks, trailers, shipping containers, intermodal and rail,customers as well as commercial refrigeration products. Our Fire & Security products encompass a wide rangemaintaining the continuity of residentialour operations. In addition, we continue to actively monitor our liquidity position and commercial building systemsworking capital needs and securitybelieve that our overall capital resources and service solutions. Our customersliquidity position are adequate. The preparation of financial statements requires management to use judgments in both the publicmaking estimates and private sectors, and our businesses reflect extensive geographic diversification. See Note 19 Segment Financial Data to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of sales attributed to geographic regions.
Our earnings growth strategy contemplates earnings from organic sales growth, including growth from new product development and product improvements, structural cost reductions, operational improvements and incremental earnings from acquisitions.

Dependingassumptions based on the naturerelevant information available at the end of each period, which can have a significant effect on reported amounts. However, due to significant uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, management's judgments could change.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses. We believe that the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their potential significance to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. In "Management’s"Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the Information Statement,our 2020 Form 10-K, we describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in the preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates. However, in

Net Sales

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we reassessed our goodwill asset valuations as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance.
We test our reporting units' goodwill for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates and market factors. The financial forecast used to estimate the fair value of our reporting units incorporates assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry, economic and regulatory conditions. The significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include the estimated future annual net cash flows for each reporting unit (including net sales, cost of products and services sold, selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation

and amortization, working capital and capital expenditures), income tax rates, long-term growth rates and a discount rate that appropriately reflects the risks inherent in each future cash flow stream.
In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we qualitatively determined that the goodwill for all but one of our reporting units was not impaired. For one reporting unit with goodwill of $966 million, we performed a quantitative analysis and selected the assumptions used in the financial forecasts to estimate the reporting unit’s fair value using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, including estimated growth and discount rates, management’s plans and the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the reporting unit’s business and financial performance. Based upon our analysis, we determined that the goodwill was not impaired. However, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its underlying carrying value by 20% and a 100 basis-point increase in the discount rate used in the financial forecast would result in an impairment of approximately $175 million. For the period ended June 30, 2020, we reviewed the assumptions used in our March 31, 2020 assessment and determined that they remain appropriate. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit would be negatively impacted if future economic conditions are worse than our financial forecast and assumptions or there are substantial reductions in our end markets and volume assumptions relative to our financial forecasts.

As the economic slowdowns attributedglobal economy continues to the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns in the first half of the year. The decrease in HVAC reflects lower volumes in commercial and residential HVAC resultingrecover from the difficult economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in Refrigeration was driven by a decline in transport refrigeration due to the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic with declines in North America and Europe truck trailer as well as container. The decrease in North America truck trailer sales was also attributed to the cyclical peak experienced in 2019. The decrease in commercial refrigeration was primarily driven by lower volume in Europe combined with various regional shutdowns attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fire & Security decreased organically, reflecting lower sales volumes in both product and field services driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to see improvement across our global business. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, higher volume in each of our segments increased organic sales by 31% compared with the same period of 2020. The organic increase was primarily driven by our HVAC segment with continued strong results in the North America residential and light commercial business and improved global end-markets in our Commercial HVAC business. Strong results in both our Refrigeration and Fire & Security segments were driven by improved global end-markets compared with the prior period. Refer to "Segment Review" below for a discussion of Net sales by segment.

Gross Margin

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, gross margin was $1.6 billion, a 42% increase compared with the same period of 2020. The components were as follows:

The increase in grossmarginfor the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by strong operational performance and continued improvement in the global economic climate during the current period. Higher volume in each of our segments outpaced operational costs as we continued to focus on Carrier 700 cost containment actions. These improvements were partially offset by the rising cost for commodities and components used in our products, certain supply chain inefficiencies and freight costs. As a result, gross margin as a percentage of Net sales increased by 110 basis points compared with the same period of 2020.

Operating Expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, operating expenses, including Equity method investment net earnings, were $836 million, a 20% increase compared with the same period of 2020. The components were as follows:

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Selling, general and administrative expenses were $813 million, a 28% increase compared with the same period of 2020. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we initiated various cost containment initiatives in order to help mitigate the impacts on our business, which primarily impactedincluded reducing discretionary spending, employee furloughs and temporarily closing or limiting the installationpresence of our workforce in our facilities. As a result, the increase in Selling, general and service businesses dueadministrative expense in the current period reflects the gradual return to no or limited accessour operational spending levels prior to customer sitesthe COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, higher compensation costs, restructuring charges and unfavorable foreign currency movements along with transaction costs associated with the planned divestiture of our Chubb business further contributed to the year-over-year increase . Costs associated with the Separation were $3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The 100 basis point decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 reflects the effects of lower sales volumes and factory inefficiencies as a result of economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic partly offset by cost containment initiatives.

The 30 basis point decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily driven by the effects of lower volume largely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, lower factory and field productivity and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by favorable material productivity and commodities.

Such cost containment actions included, but were not limited to, furloughs, lower employee compensation, and reductions in discretionary spending across the businesses. Costs associated with the Separation of $23 million were partially offset by lower restructuring costs of $16 million. As a percentage of sales, the 230 basis point increase was primarily driven by lower sales volumes experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as noted previously.
The decrease in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily driven by cost containment initiatives taken to mitigate the COVID-19 related decline in sales volume. Such cost containment actions included, but were not limited to, furloughs, lower employee compensation, and reductions in discretionary spending across the businesses. Costs associated with the Separation of $68 million were partially offset by lower restructuring costs of $40 million and lower costs associated with the wind-down of a residential intrusion business of $13 million. As a percentage of sales, the 220 basis point increase was primarily driven by lower sales volumes experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as noted previously.
We are continuously evaluating our cost structure and have implemented restructuring actions to keep our cost structure competitive. The amounts reflected previously include the impact of restructuring actions on Selling, general and administrative expenses. For additional discussion, see "Restructuring Costs" and Note 15 Restructuring Costs to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cost of sales$ $13  
Selling, general and administrative10  50  
Total restructuring costs$16  $63  

Restructuring actions are a component of our operating margin improvement efforts and relate to existing and recently acquired operations. Charges generally arise from severance related to workforce reductions, facility exit and lease termination costs associated with the consolidation of field and manufacturing operations and costs to exit legacy programs. We continue to closely monitor the economic environment and may undertake further restructuring actions to keep our cost structure aligned with the demand for our products and services and prevailing market conditions.
2020 Actions.During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring charges of $13 million relating to ongoing cost reduction actions initiated in 2020. For actions initiated in 2020, we are targeting to complete the majority of the remaining workforce and facility-related cost reductions in 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had $4 million of cash outflows related to the 2020 actions. As of June 30, 2020, we expect to incur additional restructuring and other charges of $7 million to complete these actions.
2019 Actions. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring charges of $3 million and $49 million, respectively, for actions initiated in 2019. For actions initiated in 2019, we are targeting to complete the majority of the remaining workforce and facility-related cost reductions in 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had cash outflows of approximately $20 million related to the 2019 actions.
In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $0 million and $14 million, respectively, for restructuring actions initiated in 2018 and prior.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
Organic24 %
Foreign currency translation%
Total % change29%

As the global economy continues to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to see improvement across our global business. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, higher volume in each of our segments increased organic sales by 24% compared with the same period in 2020. The organic increase was primarily driven by our HVAC segment with continued strong results for North America residential and light commercial business and improved global end-markets in our Commercial HVAC business. Strong results in both our Refrigeration and Fire & Security segments were driven by improved global end-markets compared with the prior yearperiod. Refer to "Segment Review" below for a discussion of Net sales by segment.

Gross Margin

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, grossmargin was $3.0 billion, a 33% increase compared with the same period of 2020. The components were as follows:

Gross margin$3,013 $2,263 
Percentage of net sales29.7 %28.8 %

The increase in grossmarginfor the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by strong operational performance and continued improvement in the global economic climate during the current period. Higher volume in each of our segments outpaced operational costs as we continued to focus on Carrier 700 cost containment actions. These improvements were partially offset by the rising cost for commodities and components used in our products, certain supply chain inefficiencies and freight costs. As a result, gross margin as a percentage of Net sales increased by 90 basis points compared with the same period of 2020.

Operating Expenses
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, operating expenses, including Equity method investment net earnings, were $1.7 billion, a 10% increase compared with the same period in 2020. The components were as follows:

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.6 billion, a 17% increase compared with the same period of 2020. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we initiated various cost containment initiatives in order to help mitigate the impacts on our business, which included reducing discretionary spending, employee furloughs and temporarily closing or limiting the presence of our workforce in our facilities. As a result, the increase in Selling, general and administrative expense in the current period reflects the gradual return to our operational spending levels prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, higher compensation costs and restructuring charges in the current period along with transaction costs associated with the planned divestiture of our Chubb business further contributed to the year-over-year increase. Costs associated with the Separation were $19 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $68 million for the same period in 2020.

Research and development costs relate to new product development and new technology innovation. Due to the variable nature of program development schedules, year-over-year spending levels can fluctuate. In addition, we continue to invest to prepare for future energy efficiency and refrigerant regulation changes as well as digital controls technologies.

Investments over which we do not exercise control, but have significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Equity method investment net earnings were $125 million, a 45% increase compared with the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily related to higher earnings in HVAC joint ventures in Asia, the Middle East and North America as end-markets improved compared with the prior period. These amounts were partially offset by a change in the estimated cost of a product recall matter and the reduction in earnings resulting from the sale of our investment in Beijer REF AB in 2020.

Other income (expense), net primarily includes the impact of gains and losses related to the sale of interests in our equity method investments, foreign currency gains and losses on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency and hedging-related activities. The year-over-year change of $89 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily due todriven by the absence of an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $71 million on a prior year combined tax benefitminority-owned joint venture investment in 2020. In addition, higher gains on hedging activities were partially offset by higher deferred compensation costs in the current period.

The organic increase in Net sales of 32% was driven by strong results across each of the segment's businesses. Increased sales in our North America residential and light commercial HVAC business (40%) were driven by new construction, the ongoing stay-at-home workforce and higher distributor stocking levels. Increased sales in our Commercial HVAC business (22%) benefited from the gradual improvement in the global economic environment as our end markets continue to improve from the prior year impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Volume growth in North America, Europe and Asia were the primary drivers of improved results during the period.

In addition, the Commercial HVAC business completed the acquisition of Giwee on June 1, 2021. Giwee is a China-based manufacturer of HVAC products, offering a portfolio of products including variable refrigerant flow, modular chillers and light commercial air conditioners. Giwee has been included in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition. The transaction added 1% to Net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Prior to the Separation, Carrier participated in UTC’s centralized cash pooling and financing programs. Historically, we independently generated operating cash flows sufficient to fund our working capital, capital expenditures and financing needs. Following the Separation, the capital structure and sources of liquidity for Carrier has changed as Carrier no longer participates in cash management and financing programs with UTC. Instead, Carrier’s ability to fund our capital requirements depends on our ability to generate cash flow from operations. Additionally, following the Separation, Carrier has access toWe maintain a $2.0 billion revolving credit facilityunsecured, unsubordinated commercial paper program which can be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital and potential acquisitions. In addition, we maintain our $2.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility that matures on April 3, 2025 which supports aour commercial paper borrowing program and anticipates continuingcash requirements. This Revolving Credit Facility has a commitment fee of 0.125% that is charged on unused commitments. Borrowings are available in U.S. Dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling and bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin (or customary LIBOR replacement provisions), which was 125 basis points as of June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program and our Revolving Credit Facility.

We continue to have actively manage and strengthen our business portfolio to meet the current and future needs of our customers. This is accomplished through research and development activities with a focus on new product development and new technology innovation as well as sustaining activities with a focus on improving existing products and reducing production costs. We also pursue potential acquisitions to compliment existing products and services to enhance our product portfolio. In addition, we routinely conduct discussions, evaluate targets and enter into agreements regarding possible acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and equity investments to manage our business portfolio.

Although we believe that the arrangements currently in place permit us to finance our operations on acceptable terms and conditions, our access to and the availability of financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future will be impacted by many factors, includingincluding: (1) our credit ratings or absence of credit ratings, (2) the liquidity of the overall capital markets and (3) the state of the economy, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all.
Financing for operational and strategic requirements, not satisfied by operational cash flows, is subject to the availability of external funds through short-term and long-term credit markets. The access to and cost of financing is dependent upon, among other factors, the Company's credit ratings.

Cash flows from operating activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with our operations. Primary activities include net income from operations adjusted for non-cash transactions, working capital changes and changes in other assets and liabilities. The year-over-year increase in net cash provided by operating activities increased $185was primarily driven by higher net income from operations in the current period and improved working capital balances. Higher outstanding accounts payable balances driven by the timing of raw material purchases and vendor payments more than offset the seasonal increase in inventory, higher accounts receivable balances, increase in tax payments and interest payments.

Cash flows from investing activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with long-term assets. Primary activities include capital expenditures, acquisitions, divestitures and proceeds from the sale of fixed assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $301 million. The primary driver of the outflow related to the acquisition of several businesses and a joint venture, which totaled $167 million, duringnet of cash acquired and $132 million of capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, comparednet cash used by investing activities was $103 million with the same periodprimary drivers of the prior yearoutflow relating to capital expenditures of $94 million and the settlement of derivative contracts of $23 million.

Cash flows from financing activities primarily attributablerepresent inflows and outflows associated with equity or borrowings. Primary activities include debt transactions, paying dividends to shareowners and the timingrepurchase of working capital and tax payments. Cash inflows from working capital contributed $545 million compared withour common stock. During the same periodsix months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in financing activities was $898 million. The primary driver of the prior year. Cash provided by Accounts receivable, net increased $233 million attributable to improved collections and timing of customer payments. Cash provided by Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $325 million primarily attributable to income taxes and the timing of vendor payments. Income taxes decreased approximately $200 million compared with the same period of the prior year, primarily reflecting the absence of a deemed TCJA transition tax settlement of approximately $70 million that is not required in 2020 and the timing of federal tax paymentsoutflow related to the Separation that will not come due until the third quarterredemption of 2020.

With respectlong-term Notes of $500 million. In addition, we paid $209 million in dividends to our current working capital position, as a resultcommon shareowners and paid $130 million to repurchase shares of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is participating in global COVID-19 relief measures, including the CARES Act, which provides for payroll tax deferrals and credits, income tax payment deferrals, and an increase in the income tax interest deduction limitation.

On February 4, 2021, our customers, our suppliers or our distributors operate could haveBoard of Directors approved a further material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and resultsstock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of operations. COVID-19 has resulted in widespread travel restrictions and extended shutdownsup to $350 million of non-essential businesses, including construction and hospitality venues, impacting all of our segments andCarrier's outstanding common stock. Share repurchases under the program may take place from time to various extents our factory operations, new equipment installations and accesstime, subject to units under maintenance.As our customers decreased their demand for our products, we temporarily closed or reduced production at manufacturing facilities in North America, Asia and Europe and implemented furloughs or similar workforce reductions.Although by the end of the second quarter our manufacturing facilities (and nearly all of our suppliers) had resumed operations and 95% of our production capacity was available, we cannot predict when all of our manufacturing facilities will be fully operational, any conditions that may be implemented to facilitate a return to normal operations, and the effects and costs associated with any suchmarket conditions and whether there will be additional outbreaks ofat our discretion in the pandemic.Our operating resultsopen market or through one or more other public or private transactions and financial condition may also be materially adversely affected by laws, regulations, orders or other governmental or regulatory actions addressingsubject to compliance with our obligations under the current COVID-19 pandemic that place restrictions on, or require us to make changes to,TMA and our operations.We continue to monitor government actions and the impact of the pandemic on our customers, suppliers, distributors, employees and other stakeholders, and we anticipate continued temporary reductions in operating levels at many of our manufacturing facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Revolving Credit Facility.
As a result of the pandemic and resulting disruption in our customers’ production and operations, our sales globally have been negatively affected particularly in industries like trucking that are delaying capital expenditures. Additionally, because in some instances our suppliers’ operations have been impacted, when we believe necessary to maintain our operations, we have been seeking alternate suppliers, which may be more expensive, may not be available or may result in delays in shipments to us and subsequently to our customers, each of which could adversely affect our results of operations.
The nature and extent of COVID-19’s continuing impact on our business, financial conditions and results of operations is beyond our control, and depends on various uncertain factors, including the duration of the outbreak, the severity and potential mutability of the virus, the ability to develop a vaccine or other preventative measures, and the actions, or perception of actions that may be taken or continued to contain or treat its impact, including quarantine and shelter-in-place orders, business closures, manufacturing restrictions and a prolonged period of travel, commercial and/or other similar restrictions and limitations.The COVID-19 outbreak has significantly increased economic uncertainty, and the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

may cause a global recession which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a result of the foregoing, we may be required to raise additional capital in the future and our access to and cost of financing will depend on, among other things, global economic conditions, conditions in the global financing markets, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing, our results of operations and prospects and our credit ratings. There is no guarantee that financing will be available in the future to fund our obligations, or that they will be available on terms consistent with our expectations.
The foregoing and other continued disruptions to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic could heighten the risks summarized in certain of the other risk factors contained in the Information Statement.
