| Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements | Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements Business nVent Electric plc ("nVent," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") is a leading global provider of electrical connection and protection solutions. The Company is comprised of two reporting segments: Enclosures and Electrical & Fastening Solutions. The Company was incorporated in Ireland on May 30, 2017. Although our jurisdiction of organization is Ireland, we manage our affairs so that we are centrally managed and controlled in the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") and have tax residency in the U.K. Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of nVent have been prepared following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") can be condensed or omitted. We are responsible for the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this document. The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of those for a full year. We may experience changes in customer demand or constrained supply that could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and overall financial performance in future periods. On July 31, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Thermal Management business to BCP Acquisitions LLC, an affiliate of funds managed by Brookfield Asset Management, for a purchase price of $1.7 billion in cash, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. As a result of the agreement, the Thermal Management business met the criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20 to be presented as a discontinued operation and the related assets and liabilities have been reclassified as held for sale for all periods presented. The Thermal Management business was previously disclosed as a stand-alone reporting segment. The Thermal Management business' results of operations and the related cash flows have been reclassified to Income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and cash flows from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively, for all periods presented. For additional information regarding this transaction and its effect on our financial reporting, see Note 6 below.
