GLOBAL NOTES AND STATEMENTS OF LIMITATIONS
AND DISCLAIMERS REGARDING THE DEBTORS’ MONTHLY OPERATING REPORTS
On September 20, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Garrett Motion Inc. (“Garrett”) and 36 of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively with Garrett, the “Debtors”), each commenced a voluntary case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Debtors are authorized to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On September 21, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the joint administration of these chapter 11 cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b). On October 5, 2020, the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. On November 18, 2020, the U.S. Trustee appointed an official committee of equity securities holders pursuant to section 1102(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
The following notes and statements and limitations should be referred to, and referenced in connection with, any review of the MOR (as defined below).
| | 1. | Basis of Presentation. The Debtors are filing their consolidated monthly operating report (the “MOR”) solely for purposes of complying with the monthly operating requirements applicable in the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases. The MOR is in a format acceptable to the U.S. Trustee. The MOR should not be relied upon by any persons for information relating to current or future financial conditions, events, or performance of any of the Debtors or their affiliates. |
This MOR has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the consolidated financial information presented herein is complete, and readers are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on the MOR.
The unaudited financial statements have been derived from the books and records of the Debtors. The information furnished in this report includes primarily normal recurring adjustments but does not include all the adjustments that would typically be made for the quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements to be in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain adjusting entries (including, but not limited to, income tax expense and intercompany profit eliminations) are only prepared on a quarterly basis and therefore such adjustments included here are based on information as of December 31, 2020. No entry for the equity interest in earnings of unconsolidated entities is included in these financial statements. Furthermore, the monthly financial information contained herein has not been subjected to the same level of accounting review and testing that the Debtors apply in the preparation of their quarterly and annual consolidated financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, upon the application of such procedures, the Debtors believe that the financial information may be subject to change, and these changes could be material.
The results of operations contained herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected from any other period or for the full year and may not necessarily reflect the consolidated results of operations and financial position of the Debtors in the future.
| | 2. | Reporting Period. Unless otherwise noted herein, the MOR generally reflects the Debtors’ books and records and financial activity occurring during the applicable reporting period. Except as otherwise noted, no adjustments have been made for activity occurring after the close of the reporting period. |
| | 3. | Consolidated Entity Accounts Payable and Disbursement Systems. Cash is received and disbursed by the Debtors in a manner consistent with the Debtors’ historical cash management practices, as described in the Debtors’ Motion for Entry of Interim and Final Orders (I) Authorizing, But Not Directing, the Debtors to (A) Continue to Use Their Cash Management System, Including Existing Bank Accounts, (B) Pay or Honor Certain Prepetition Obligations Related Thereto and (C) Maintain Existing Business Forms, (II) Authorizing Intercompany Transactions, (III) Waiving the Requirements of Section 345(b) and (IV) Granting Related Relief [D.I. 14]. |
