Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
Note 26. Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
In connection with the issuance of the Notes by The Chemours Company (the Parent Issuer), this guarantor financial information is included in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X (“Rule 3-10”). The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured unsubordinated basis, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, by the Parent Issuer and by certain subsidiaries (together, the Guarantor Subsidiaries).
Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is 100% owned by the Company. None of the other subsidiaries of the Company, either direct or indirect, guarantee the Notes (together, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). The Guarantor Subsidiaries of the Notes, excluding the Parent Issuer, will be automatically released from those guarantees upon the occurrence of certain customary release provisions.
The following condensed consolidating financial information is presented to comply with the Company’s requirements under Rule 3-10:
the Consolidating Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013;
the Consolidating Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014; and
the Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
Condensed consolidating financial information of the Parent Issuer for the year ended December 31, 2013 did not exist as the Parent Issuer was not organized until February 18, 2014. As discussed in Note 2, Chemours did not operate as a separate, stand-alone entity for the full period covered by the Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to our spin-off on July 1, 2015, Chemours operations were included in DuPont’s financial results in different legal forms, including but not limited to wholly-owned subsidiaries for which Chemours was the sole business, components of legal entities in which Chemours operated in conjunction with other DuPont businesses and a majority owned joint venture. For periods prior to July 1, 2015, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared from DuPont’s historical accounting records and is presented on a stand-alone basis as if the business operations had been conducted independently from DuPont.
The Condensed Consolidating Financial Information is presented using the equity method of accounting for its investments in 100% owned subsidiaries. Under the equity method, the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for our share of the subsidiaries cumulative results of operations, capital contributions, distributions and other equity changes. The elimination entries principally eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The financial information in this note should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements presented and other notes related thereto contained in this Registration Statement on Form S-4.
The Company revised its Condensed Consolidating Statement of Comprehensive Income and of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 to correct the presentation of certain intercompany activities, which were improperly classified among the Parent Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. These errors had no impact on the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet, Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
The Company assessed the materiality of these errors on the previously issued financial statements and concluded that the errors were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
The impact of the revisions noted above is reflected in the following tables:
