ACQUISITIONS | ACQUISITIONS In accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” acquisitions are recorded using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company recognizes and measures the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest using a range of methodologies as indicated by generally accepted valuation practices. Various valuation techniques are used to determine the fair value of intangible assets, with the primary techniques being forms of the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty and multi-period excess earnings valuation methods. Under these valuation approaches, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions from a market participant perspective and may include revenue growth rates, estimated earnings, royalty rates, obsolescence factors, contributory asset charges, customer attrition and discount rates. Santroll Automotive Components On March 31, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of Santroll Automotive Components (“Santroll”), a carve-out of Santroll Electric Auto’s eMotor business, pursuant to the terms of an Equity Transfer Agreement (“ETA”). The total consideration was $212 million, including approximately ¥1.1 billion ($172 million) of base purchase price and ¥0.25 billion ($40 million) of originally estimated earn-out payments. The Company paid $157 million of base purchase price in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The remaining $15 million of base purchase price is payable in 2022 and is recorded in Other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022. Pursuant to the ETA, the obligation of the Company to remit up to ¥0.3 billion (approximately $47 million) of earn-out payments is contingent upon achievement of certain sales volume targets and certain estimated future volume targets associated with newly awarded business. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company revised its estimate of expected earn out due to declines in production levels in China. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, this change in estimate was recorded in the period of the change and is included in Other operating expense, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s estimate of the earn-out payments is approximately $31 million, which is recorded in Other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The acquisition is expected to strengthen the Company’s vertical integration, scale and portfolio breadth in light vehicle eMotors while allowing for increased speed to market. The purchase price was allocated on a preliminary basis as of March 31, 2022. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair values based on management’s estimates, available information, and supportable assumptions that management considered reasonable. Certain estimated values for the acquisition, including goodwill and deferred taxes, are not yet finalized, and the preliminary purchase price allocations are subject to change as the Company completes its analysis of the fair value at the date of acquisition. The final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be materially different from the estimated values shown below. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 31, 2022, the acquisition date: (in millions) Initial Allocation ASSETS Receivables, net $ 7 Inventories, net 1 Property, plant and equipment, net 9 Goodwill 132 Other intangible assets, net 87 Total assets acquired 236 LIABILITIES Accounts payable 2 Other non-current liabilities 22 Total liabilities assumed 24 Net assets acquired $ 212 Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets was recognized as goodwill. Goodwill of $132 million was recorded within the Company’s e-Propulsion & Drivetrain segment. The goodwill consists of the Company’s expected future economic benefits that will arise from future product sales and the added capabilities from vertical integration of eMotors. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes in China. The following table summarizes the other intangible assets acquired: (in millions) Estimated Life Estimated Fair Value Customer relationships 12 years $ 62 Manufacturing processes (know-how) 10 years 25 Total other intangible assets $ 87 Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets were valued using the income approach. Management used a third-party valuation firm to assist in the determination of the preliminary purchase accounting fair values; however, management ultimately oversees the third-party valuation firm to ensure that the transaction-specific assumptions are appropriate for the Company. The impact of the Santroll acquisition on net sales and net earnings was immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Due to its insignificant size relative to the Company, supplemental pro forma financial information of the combined entity for the current and prior reporting periods is not provided. AKASOL AG On June 4, 2021, the Company completed its voluntary public takeover offer for shares of AKASOL AG (“AKASOL”), resulting in ownership of 89% of AKASOL’s outstanding shares. The Company paid approximately €648 million ($788 million) to settle the offer from current cash balances, which included proceeds received from its public offering of 1.00% Senior Notes due 2031 completed on May 19, 2021. Following the settlement of the offer, AKASOL became a consolidated majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon that settlement, the Company also consolidated approximately €64 million ($77 million) of gross debt of AKASOL. Subsequent to the completion of the voluntary public takeover offer, the Company purchased additional shares of AKASOL for €28 million ($33 million) increasing its ownership to 93% as of December 31, 2021. On August 2, 2021, the Company initiated a merger squeeze-out process under German law for the purpose of acquiring 100% of AKASOL. On December 17, 2021, the shareholders of AKASOL voted to mandatorily transfer to ABBA BidCo. AG, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, each issued and outstanding share of AKASOL held by shareholders who did not tender their shares in the Company’s previously completed exchange offer for AKASOL shares (the “Squeeze Out”). In exchange for the AKASOL shares transferred in the Squeeze Out, the Company paid appropriate cash compensation, in the amount of €119.16 per share, which was determined after an assessment by a third-party valuation firm, the adequacy of which was examined by an independent, court-appointed auditor. At December 31, 2021, the noncontrolling interest in AKASOL of approximately €51 million ($58 million) to be acquired through the Squeeze Out was reclassified to Other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as it was deemed mandatorily redeemable. No shareholder objections were filed during the statutory contestation period, and on February 10, 2022, the Company completed the registration of the Squeeze Out resulting in 100% ownership. The Company settled the Squeeze Out with AKASOL minority shareholders in the first quarter of 2022. The acquisition further strengthens BorgWarner’s commercial vehicle and industrial electrification capabilities, which positions the Company to capitalize on what it believes to be a fast-growing battery module and pack market. The Company finalized its valuation of the assets and liabilities of the AKASOL acquisition during the second quarter of 2022. The following table summarizes the final fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date and subsequent measurement period adjustments: (in millions) Initial Allocation Measurement Period Adjustments Final Allocation ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash of $16 million) $ 29 $ — $ 29 Receivables, net 16 — 16 Inventories, net 42 (2) 40 Prepayments and other current assets 5 — 5 Property, plant and equipment, net 106 (3) 103 Goodwill 707 (3) 704 Other intangible assets, net 130 — 130 Other non-current assets — 7 7 Total assets acquired 1,035 (1) 1,034 LIABILITIES Notes payable and other short-term debt 8 — 8 Accounts payable 22 — 22 Other current liabilities 13 6 19 Long-term debt 69 — 69 Other non-current liabilities 39 (7) 32 Total liabilities assumed 151 (1) 150 Noncontrolling interest 96 — 96 Net assets and noncontrolling interest acquired $ 788 $ — $ 788 Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets was recognized as goodwill. Goodwill of $704 million, including the impact of measurement period adjustments, was recorded within the Company’s Air Management segment. The goodwill consists of the Company’s expected future economic benefits that will arise from acquiring this business, which is established in making next-generation products for electric vehicles and the potential development and deployment of future technologies, across a global customer base, in this market and across adjacent industries. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Management used a third-party valuation firm to assist in the determination of the preliminary purchase accounting fair values; however, management ultimately oversees the third-party valuation firm to ensure that the transaction-specific assumptions are appropriate for the Company. Due to its insignificant size relative to the Company, supplemental pro forma financial information of the combined entity for the current and prior reporting periods is not provided. Romeo Power, Inc. In May 2019, the Company invested $50 million in exchange for a 20% equity interest in Romeo Systems, Inc., now known as Romeo Power, Inc., (“Romeo”) a technology-leading battery module and pack supplier that was then privately held. On December 29, 2020, through the business combination of Romeo Systems, Inc. and special purpose acquisition company RMG Acquisition Corporation, a new entity, Romeo Power, Inc., became a publicly listed company. The Company’s ownership in Romeo was reduced to 14%, and the investment was recorded at fair value on an ongoing basis with changes in fair value being recognized in Unrealized (gain) loss on equity securities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a loss of $4 million and $276 million, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of the Company’s investment to fair value. As of December 31, 2021, the investment’s fair value was $70 million, which was reflected in Investments and long-term receivables in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a loss of $39 million and liquidated its investment in Romeo shares at a fair value of $31 million. As of March 17, 2022, the Company no longer held any investment in Romeo. In September 2019, the Company and Romeo contributed total equity of $10 million and formed a new joint venture, BorgWarner Romeo Power LLC (“Romeo JV”), in which the Company owned a 60% interest. Romeo JV was a variable interest entity focusing on producing battery module and pack technology. The Company was the primary beneficiary of Romeo JV and had consolidated Romeo JV in its consolidated financial statements. On October 25, 2021, the Company delivered written notice to Romeo that the Company was electing to exercise its right to put its ownership stake in Romeo JV to Romeo. Based on an independent appraisal, the Company’s interest in Romeo JV was valued at $30 million. In February 2022, the Company completed the sale of its 60% interest in Romeo JV for $29 million, the fair value of $30 million reduced by a 5% discount pursuant to the joint venture agreement. The Company recorded a gain of $24 million in Other operating expense, net, which represented the difference between the Company’s book value of its interest in Romeo JV compared to the fair value of consideration received. As a result of the sale, the Company has no further rights in or involvement with Romeo JV. Subsequent Event On July 29, 2022, the Company acquired Rhombus Energy Solutions, a provider of charging solutions in the North American market. The Company paid approximately $130 million at closing, and up to $55 million could be paid in the form of contingent payments over the next three years. The acquisition complements the Company’s existing European charging footprint to accelerate organic growth and adds North American regional presence to its charging business. |
