Allocated Centralized Costs
UTC and Carrier incurred significant corporate costs for services provided to the Business as well as other UTC and Carrier businesses. These services include treasury, tax, accounting, human resources, audit, legal, purchasing, information technology and other such services. The costs associated with these services generally include all payroll and benefit costs, as well as overhead costs related to the support functions. UTC and Carrier also allocated costs associated with corporate insurance coverage and medical, pension, post-retirement and other health plan costs for employees participating in UTC and Carrier sponsored plans. Allocations are based on a number of utilization measures including headcount, proportionate usage and relative net sales. All such amounts have been deemed to have been incurred and settled by the Business in the period in which the costs were recorded.
The allocated functional service expenses and general corporate expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $39,275 and $32,407, respectively, and are included in Selling, general and administrative in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statements of Operations.
In the opinion of management of the Parent and the Business, the expense and cost allocations have been determined on a basis considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the Business during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. 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, difference in management judgment, a requirement for more or fewer employees or other factors. Management does not believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been had the Business operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from unaffiliated entities. In addition, the future results of operations, financial position and cash flows could differ materially from the historical results presented herein.
