GE Transportation
(A carve-out business of General Electric Company)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
GE Transportation (the “Business”, “GET”, “our” or “we”) is a carve-out business of General Electric Company (“GE” or “Parent”). We are a leading global provider of products and solutions to transportation, logistics and other industrial markets. We design, engineer and manufacture diesel-electric locomotives, supply associated aftermarket parts and services, and provide digital solutions. Our culture of innovation and differentiated aftermarket solutions has allowed us to build a leading global installed base of diesel-electric locomotives, significant contracted services backlog and longstanding customer relationships. Our products and services are critical to our customers’ operating and financial success and enable them to operate with reliability and efficiency. Leveraging our heritage in diesel-electric locomotives, we have continued to innovate to expand our technologies into new products, end markets and logistics applications. Leveraging our core competencies in locomotive manufacturing, we produce electric motors and premium propulsion systems for mining, marine, stationary power and drilling applications. We have combined industry leadership with engineering and software capabilities to build a digital business that is leading the transformation of the transportation and mining industries. We employ approximately 9,000 employees and serve customers across approximately 60 countries.
The Business is comprised of three reportable segments, which reflect the way performance is assessed and resources are allocated. These reportable segments are Equipment, Services, and Digital.
On May 21, 2018, GE and Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies (“Wabtec”) Corporation announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement whereby Wabtec would acquire the Business (the “Proposed Transaction”).
Under the agreement, which has been approved by the Boards of Directors of Wabtec and GE, GE will receive $2.9 billion in cash at closing. GE shareholders will own approximately 40.2%, GE will own approximately 9.9%, and Wabtec shareholders will own approximately 49.9% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These condensed combined financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of GE. These unaudited condensed combined financial statements as of June 30, 2018 and for each of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are presented as carve-out financial statements and reflect the condensed combined historical results of earnings, comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows of the Business, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Refer below to Recent Accounting Pronouncements Reflected in These Condensed Combined Financial Statements for a summary of recent accounting pronouncements that were adopted and applied in these condensed combined financial statements.
These condensed combined financial statements consolidate all majority-owned subsidiaries of the Business. The noncontrolling interests have been shown in the Condensed Combined Statement of Financial Position as Equity attributable to noncontrolling interests.
All intercompany balances and transactions within the Business have been eliminated in these condensed combined financial statements. As described in Note 5 Related Party Transactions, certain transactions between the Business and GE have been included in these condensed combined financial statements.
The Condensed Combined Statement of Financial Position reflects, among other things, all of the assets and liabilities of GE and the Business that are specifically identifiable as being directly attributable to the Business, including Net parent investment as a component of equity. Net parent investment represents GE’s historical investment in the Business and includes accumulated net earnings attributable to GE, the net effect of transactions with GE and GE entities, and cost allocations from GE that were not historically allocated to the Business.

GE uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. These arrangements are not reflective of the manner in which the Business would have financed its operations had it been a stand-alone business separate from GE during the periods presented. Cash pooling arrangements are excluded from the asset and liability balances in the Condensed Combined Statement of Financial Position. These amounts have instead been reported as Net parent investment as a component of equity.
GE and its affiliates provide a variety of services to the Business. The Business may also sell products in the ordinary course of business to GE and its affiliates. The Condensed Combined Statement of Earnings includes expense allocations for services and certain support functions (“GE Corporate Overhead”) that are provided on a centralized basis within GE such as legal, business development, human resources, corporate audit, treasury and various other GE corporate functions that are routinely allocated to the Business and reflected in the Condensed Combined Statement of Earnings in Selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition to GE Corporate Overhead allocations, Selling, general and administrative expenses that would have been incurred in the ordinary course of business if the Business operated as a stand-alone company, such as compensation and benefits for employees of the Business, were included based on either specific identification of direct expenses or an allocation using an approach related to the nature of the item (e.g., external revenue or headcount).
Where allocations of amounts were necessary, the Business believes the allocation of these amounts was determined on a reasonable basis, reflecting all of the costs of GE Transportation and consistently applied in the periods presented. These allocated amounts, however, are not necessarily indicative of the actual amounts that might have been incurred or realized had the Business operated as a separate stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Consequently, these condensed combined financial statements do not necessarily represent the results the Business would have achieved if the Business had operated as a separate stand-alone entity from GE during the periods presented.
INTERIM PERIOD PRESENTATION
These condensed combined financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited. These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that we considered necessary to present a fair statement of our results of earnings, financial position and cash flows. The results reported in these condensed combined financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. It is suggested that these condensed combined financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and notes thereto.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of condensed combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets or liabilities at the date of these condensed combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty, and accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. While the Business believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these condensed combined financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, determining the following: estimates of variable revenues and/or costs on long-term revenue generating contracts, recoverability of long-lived assets and inventory, valuation of goodwill, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, income taxes and related valuation allowances, accruals for contingencies including warranties, actuarial assumptions used to determine costs on employee benefit plans, valuation assumptions for long term stock-based compensation expense, valuation and recoverability of receivables, valuation of derivatives and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions.
Our revenue recognition on long-term Contractual Service Agreements (“CSAs”) requires estimates of both customer payments expected to be received over the contract term as well as the costs expected to be incurred to perform required maintenance services. We routinely review estimates under CSAs and regularly revise them to adjust for changes in outlook, however these estimates may materially vary from actual payments and costs incurred over the life of the contracts.

Additionally, please refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the annual 2017 combined financial statements for the discussion of our significant accounting policies.
(A) | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS REFLECTED IN THESE CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Our combined annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included the adoption of the following new accounting standards that became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. As a result, these interim condensed combined financial statements are consistently presented in accordance with the following recently adopted standards:
| · | ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Refer to Note 3 Revenue Related to Contracts with Customers for more details. |
| · | ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. Refer to the combined annual financial statements for more details. |
| · | ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Refer to the combined annual financial statements for more details. |
| · | ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. Refer to the combined annual financial statements for more details. |
| · | ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330), Simplifying of the Measurement of Inventory. Refer to the combined annual financial statements for more details. |
| · | ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. Refer to the combined annual financial statements for more details. |
| · | ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Refer to the combined annual financial statements for more details. |
The following standards have been adopted within these interim condensed combined financial statements:
| · | ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This ASU provides a new framework that will assist in the evaluation of whether business combination transactions should be accounted as acquisition of a business or a group of assets, as well as specifying the minimum required inputs and processes necessary to be a business. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2017. All disposals in the current period were accounted for under the provision of the new guidance. |
| · | ASU 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This standard amends existing guidance on income taxes to require the accounting for the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. As a result, the tax expense from the intercompany sale of assets, other than inventory, and associated changes to deferred taxes will be recognized when the sale occurs even though the pre-tax effects of the transaction have not been recognized. The pronouncement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an annual period for which no financial statements have already been issued. This amendment has been applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption, which did not have an impact on our historical results. |
| · | ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. This standard requires the changes in the total of cash and restricted cash to be presented in the statement of cash flows. In addition, when cash and restricted cash are presented on separate lines on the balance sheet, an entity is required to reconcile the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related line items in the balance sheet. While not a direct effect of the adoption of the standard, to simplify the reconciliation of the statement of cash flows to the cash balances presented in our statement of financial position, we have elected to present cash and restricted cash as a single line on the balance sheet, which did not have an impact on our historical results. |

(B) OTHER RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill. This ASU simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment to a single-step test. The guidance removes step two of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation, and will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Under the revised guidance, failing step one will always result in goodwill impairment. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Business is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-04 on our combined financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU introduces a new accounting model, the Current Expected Credit Losses model (CECL), which requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk. The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models under current U.S. GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard will also apply to receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivables and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We continue to evaluate the effect of the standard on our combined financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02), creating ASC Subtopic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to present a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet. Lessor accounting is substantially unchanged compared to the current accounting guidance. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and for the interim and annual reporting periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Business is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our combined financial statements.
NOTE 3 REVENUE RELATED TO CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
ADOPTION OF TOPIC 606 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
All periods presented in the condensed combined financial statements are presented under the FASB’s new accounting standard codification Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers as we elected the full retrospective method of adoption.

CONTRACT AND OTHER DEFERRED ASSETS AND PROGRESS COLLECTIONS AND OTHER DEFERRED INCOME
Contract assets reflect revenues earned in excess of billings on our long-term contracts related to our equipment and CSAs. Contract liabilities reflect billings in excess of revenue recognized on similar agreements. Other deferred assets are fulfillment costs that principally relate to contractually required non-recurring engineering incurred during the initial design phase of a contract, which is recoverable over revenues generated as part of our production efforts. Recoverable costs are capitalized and amortized to Costs of revenues based on their expected pattern of benefit of the customers’ order. Amortization of fulfillment costs was approximately $8,944 thousand and $9,422 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $12,553 thousand and $15,198 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability at the beginning of the period was $119,741 thousand and $124,560 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $280,321 thousand and $374,755 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
CONTRACT AND OTHER DEFERRED ASSETS, NET
Contract and other deferred assets and progress collections, considering current and non-current classification, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, are as follows:

| (e) | Includes billings in excess of revenue on our long-term equipment and CSAs. |
Contract assets, net, increased by $112,498 thousand from December 31, 2017 due to an increase in revenue recognized in excess of billings principally in our Equipment segment, offset by an increase in progress collections principally in our Equipment segment. The changes in estimates for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, principally within our CSA portfolio in Services, increased revenue and operating income by approximately $27,058 thousand and $25,533 thousand, respectively.
REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS
As of June 30, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was $15,615,131 thousand. This amount excludes highly probable but uncommitted purchases from our customers that are not legally enforceable. We expect to recognize revenue as we satisfy the remaining performance obligations as follows:
| · | Equipment - total remaining performance obligations of $5,377,356 thousand of which 73% is expected to be satisfied within 5 year(s) and the remaining thereafter. |
| · | Services - total remaining performance obligations of $9,761,717 thousand of which 49% is expected to be satisfied within 5 year(s), 78% within 10 year(s) and the remaining thereafter. |
| · | Digital - total remaining performance obligations of $476,057 thousand of which 82% is expected to be satisfied within 5 year(s) and the remaining thereafter. |
NOTE 4 CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH
As of June 30, 2018, $109,716 thousand of cash and equivalents were held in bank accounts and cannot be released, transferred or otherwise converted into a currency that is regularly transacted internationally, due to lack of market liquidity, capital controls or similar monetary or exchange limitations limiting the flow of capital out of the jurisdiction.
NOTE 5 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As discussed in Note 1 Description of Business and Basis of Presentation, GE provides the Business with a number of services. Some of these services are provided directly by GE, and others are managed by GE through third-party service providers. The cost of certain of these services is either (a) recognized through our allocated portion of GE’s Corporate Overhead, or (b) billed directly to the Business (such as most of our employee benefit costs). The cost of other services is included within the service itself, and the incremental cost for GE to provide the service is not discernible (such as payroll processing services included within the cost of payroll). In addition, we and our affiliates obtain a variety of goods (such as supplies and equipment) and services (such as GE Global Research Center) under various master purchasing and service agreements to which GE (and not the Business) is a party. We are billed directly for services we procure under these arrangements.
We receive an allocated share of GE’s Corporate Overhead for certain services that GE provides to the Business, but which are not specifically billed to the Business, such as public relations, investor relations, treasury, and corporate internal audit services. Costs of $6,291 thousand and $6,791 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $12,582 thousand and $13,582 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were recorded in our Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Earnings for our allocated share of GE’s Corporate Overhead. The Business has related party revenues of $3,122 thousand and $156 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $3,755 thousand and $359 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The majority of these sales were made by the Equipment segment to other GE industrial business units.
GE Transportation
(A carve-out business of General Electric Company)
These condensed combined financial statements include additional related party transactions with GE and GE entities that include the following:
| · | Amounts for due to / due from affiliates are recorded in Accounts payable and Current receivables, and are settled in cash. The Business has accounts payable resulting from amounts due to affiliates of $82,492 thousand and $48,057 thousand as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Business has current receivables resulting from amounts due from affiliates of $31,952 thousand and $21,259 thousand as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. |
| · | The Business factors U.S. and non-U.S. receivables through its Working Capital Solutions (“WCS”), on a recourse and nonrecourse basis pursuant to various factoring and servicing agreements. The Business had factored receivables of $134,370 thousand and $146,221 thousand without recourse as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Business had factored receivables of $3,477 thousand and $3,989 thousand with recourse as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. For agreements with recourse, the Business establishes a bad debt reserve based on the aging policy. Historically, the Business has outsourced our servicing responsibilities to Global Operations AR CoE for a market-based fee, and therefore, no servicing asset or liability has been recorded on the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Under the programs, the Business incurred interest expense and finance charges of $3,787 thousand and $8,514 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $6,694 thousand and $14,049 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which are included in Other (expense) income. |
| · | The Business’s North American operations participate in accounts payable programs with Trade Payables Services (“TPS”). The Business’s liability associated with the funded participation in the accounts payable programs, which is presented as accounts payable within the Condensed Combined Statement of Financial Position, was $411,878 thousand and $332,584 thousand as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. |
| · | The Business participates in GE Treasury centralized hedging and offsetting programs. See Note 13 Derivatives and Hedging. |
| · | Employees of the Business participate in pensions and benefit plans that are sponsored by GE. See Note 18 Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans. |
| · | GE grants stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units to its group employees, including those of GE Transportation, under the GE Long-Term Incentive Plan. |
| · | Lease agreements are based on market terms. The Business incurs rent expense resulting from related party leases with GE or GE entities as lessor. See Note 17 Leases. |
| · | All adjustments relating to certain transactions among the Business, GE and GE entities, which include the transfer of the balance of cash and equivalents to GE, transfer of the balance of cash held in cash pooling arrangements to GE, settlement of intercompany debt between the Business and GE or other GE entities and pushdown of all costs of doing business that were paid on behalf of the Business by GE or GE entities, are classified as Net parent investment. |

NOTE 12 BORROWINGS
In September 2017, the Business entered into an unsecured loan facility agreement with Wipro GE Healthcare Private Limited to fund various ongoing projects and operational requirements. The loan had a total disbursement value of $68,703 thousand, disbursed in three tranches. As of December 31, 2017 the first two tranches had been disbursed with a total value of $44,256 thousand. The final tranche was disbursed in the first quarter of 2018. The loan carries an 8% annual interest rate, compounded quarterly and matures in three tranches due October 2019, November 2019, and January 2020. Interest included in interest expense for long-term borrowings, including the current portion, is $1,256 thousand and $0 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and $2,480 thousand and $0 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Interest expense is included within Other (expense) income in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Earnings.
Due to the nature and terms of the debt, the Business carries the debt at face value and did not recognize a discount or premium at issuance. The current portion of long-term debt is included in Short-term borrowings, and the non-current portion of the debt is included in Long-term borrowings. The amounts outstanding under the long-term borrowings as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are reflected in the table below.
LETTERS OF CREDIT
As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Business has off-balance sheet credit exposure for unused letters of credit, bank guarantees, bid bonds, and surety bonds of approximately $679,779 thousand and $532,196 thousand, respectively.

Interest expense includes expense related to current receivable factoring programs. See Note 4 Related Party Transactions.
NOTE 13 DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
Economic hedges are not designated as hedged from an accounting standpoint (and therefore we do not apply hedge accounting to the relationship), but otherwise serve the same economic purpose as other hedging arrangements. We use economic hedges when we have exposures to currency exchange risk for which we are unable to meet the requirements for hedge accounting or when changes in the carrying amount of the hedged item are already recorded in earnings in the same period as the derivative, making hedge accounting unnecessary. Even though the derivative is an effective economic hedge, there may be a net effect on earnings in each period due to differences in the timing of earnings recognition between the derivative and the hedged item. Notional amounts outstanding are approximately $374,724 thousand and $332,821 thousand as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
The following table provides information about the fair value of our derivatives, by contract type and the accounts in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Financial Position in which the balances are presented:

Currency exchange and commodity contracts | | $ | 65 | | | $ | 11,530 | | | $ | 3,303 | | | $ | 6,372 | |
Derivative instruments are principally administered by GE and the gains are $6,273 thousand and $4,069 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and $8,140 thousand and $9,507 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These gains are included in Other (expense) income.
NOTE 14 INCOME TAXES
Our consolidated effective income tax rates were 21% and 36% during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The rate for 2018 benefited from a lower U.S. statutory rate effective for years beginning in 2018 due to U.S. tax reform and favorable changes in mix of earnings.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. tax reform”) that lowered the statutory tax rate on U.S. earnings to 21%, taxes historic foreign earnings at a reduced rate of tax, establishes a territorial tax system and enacts new taxes associated with global operations.
The impact of enactment of U.S. tax reform was recorded on a provisional basis as the legislation provides for additional guidance to be issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on several provisions. Guidance during 2018 could impact the information required for and the calculation of the foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”), base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) and global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions and could affect decisions that affect the tax on various U.S. and foreign items, which would
GE Transportation
(A carve-out business of General Electric Company)
further impact the final amounts included in these provisions and impact the revaluation of deferred taxes. In addition, analysis performed and conclusions reached as part of the tax return filing process and additional guidance on accounting for U.S. tax reform could affect the provisional amount.
Additionally, as part of tax reform, the U.S. has enacted a minimum tax on foreign earnings (“GILTI”). We have not made an accounting policy election on the deferred tax treatment and, consequently, we have not made an accrual for the deferred tax aspects of this provision.
In the next twelve months, we do not expect uncertain tax positions to materially change.

NOTE 16 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS
As part of our product sales we provide standard warranty coverage to our customers as part of customary practices in the market to provide assurance that the equipment sold will comply with agreed upon specifications and such standard warranty at the time of sale is limited to fixing product defects. Issuance of a product warranty constitutes a commitment, which must be accrued as a loss contingency if expenditures under the warranty are both probable and reasonably estimable. The Business provides for estimated product warranty expenses when the related product sale is recognized. Additionally, we may elect certain corrective actions, at our expense, for certain product-related matters impacting our product portfolios. Warranty obligations are recognized for these matters when we commit to these corrective actions and they are estimable. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, primarily based on historical warranty claims experience and outstanding warranty period, claims costs may differ from amounts provided.

Approximately 65% and 59% of the warranty provision as of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively, are expected to be consumed beyond 12 months and therefore, are classified as a long-term liability in Other liabilities. Refer to Note 15 Other Current Liabilities and Other Liabilities.
GUARANTEES
The Business provides guarantees in the ordinary course of business. The Business believes the likelihood is remote that any such arrangements could have a significant adverse effect on these condensed combined financial statements of the Business. The Business records liabilities for guarantees at estimated fair value, generally the amount of the premium received, or if we do not receive a premium, the amount based on appraisal, observed market values or discounted cash flows, which are zero as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Business has off-balance sheet credit exposure through standby letters of credit, bank guarantees, bid bonds, and surety bonds. See Note 12 Borrowings. In addition, our Parent may provide the Business with parent company guarantees in certain jurisdictions where we lack the legal structure to issue the requisite guarantees required on certain projects. We are charged by our Parent the fair market value of such guarantees.
LITIGATION
The Business is subject to a variety of legal proceedings and legal compliance risks in all parts of the world where the Business operates or buys or sells its equipment and services. The Business has adopted appropriate risk management and compliance programs to address these and other matters that may arise from time to time. The global and diverse nature of our business and the changing enforcement environments in which it operates, means the Business will continue to face legal and compliance risks, the nature and outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty. Currently, management believes there are no legal contingencies that are likely to have a material effect on the Business’s Condensed Combined Statements of Financial Position, Earnings, or Cash Flows.
In late November 2017, staff of the Boston office of the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) notified GE that they are conducting an investigation of GE’s revenue recognition practices and internal controls over financial reporting related to long-
